VIP treatment at the dentist. Not something you hear every day. 😎

Aaron said it better than we ever could. This is exactly the standard we hold ourselves to with every single patient who sits in that chair - thorough, unhurried, and maybe with a pair of complimentary sunglasses involved.

Thank you, Aaron. We'll see you at the next one.

June 26th is National Toothbrush Day, so we did what any normal dental team would do - made everyone photograph their toothbrush. 🪥

No sponsored picks, no recommendations we don't actually stand behind. Just the real brushes sitting on our real bathroom counters. Swipe through to see what the team is working with!

Let us know in the comments whose brush you think is whose👇

1. Your heart. Gum disease has been directly linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
2. Your memory. Studies have linked chronic gum inflammation to a higher risk of Alzheimer's and cognitive decline.
3. Your blood sugar. Gum disease makes diabetes harder to control - and diabetes makes gum disease worse. It goes both ways.
4. Your pregnancy. Periodontal disease has been linked to premature birth and low birth weight.
5. Your sleep. Teeth grinding and sleep apnea are more connected than most people realize - and both affect how rested you actually feel.
6. Your confidence. How you feel about your smile affects how you show up in a room. That's not vanity, that's human.
7. Your gut health. Digestion starts in the mouth. Poor oral health can affect your entire digestive system.

The list could truly go on.

Your mouth is the gateway to everything else. It's not just about your teeth - it's about your whole body, and we think more people deserve to know that. This is why we do what we do.

We asked the team to settle some very important office debates. 👀

Who's the DJ, who hoards the best snacks, who you call when the printer is being difficult - the important stuff. The answers did not disappoint. This team never does.

We love these people and honestly? So will you when you come in.

There are worse places to drive to work. 🌲

We asked the team to share what they pass on the way in and honestly it's a pretty good reminder of why we love living here. The PNW has a way of making even a Monday morning commute feel like something worth showing up for.

What does your drive to work look like? 👇

When someone takes the time to call out every single person by name - that hits different. 🙏

Karen at the front, Alyssa, Jenna, Dr. Buring - this whole review is a full-circle moment for a team that genuinely shows up for each other and for every patient who walks through the door. This is what we're building here. Thank you, Yessenia. The whole team is going to love this one.

New Dad. Same dentist. 🍼

Dr. Buring has been running on dad energy lately and honestly? It shows in the best way. Coffee in hand, full schedule, and somehow even more patient and warm than he already was. If you've got a nervous kid coming in, we'd say the timing is pretty good.

Same great dentist, just brand new dad energy. Come see us!

1. Flossing once a week doesn’t count. Neither does flossing the night before your appointment.
2. Rinsing with water after brushing washes away the fluoride that was just protecting your teeth.
3. Whitening toothpaste doesn’t whiten your teeth the way you think it does.
4. Sparkling water is still acidic. It’s better than soda but it’s not innocent.
5. Chewing ice is one of the fastest ways to crack a tooth. It’s not a matter of if, it’s when.
6. Mouthwash is not a replacement for brushing or flossing. It’s a supplement, not a shortcut.
7. The reason your cleanings are uncomfortable is usually because you’re not coming in consistently enough.
8. If you wait until something hurts to come in, you’ve already waited too long.
9. Your electric toothbrush is only as good as the two minutes you actually spend using it.
10. That sensitivity you’ve been ignoring for six months? It’s not going away on its own.

We say all of this with love. Truly. The goal has never been to make anyone feel bad - it’s to make sure you’re not finding out the hard way. Your mouth is worth taking seriously, and we’re always here when you’re ready. 🩵

Today we're celebrating Alyssa and another year of her being exactly the kind of person every patient hopes is on the other side of that chair. 🎉

She makes nervous patients feel calm, she makes hard appointments feel manageable, and she makes this office a better place just by showing up. We genuinely could not do what we do without her.

Happy work anniversary, Alyssa. We're so lucky to have you. 🩵
