✨ New Faces at TLD! ✨

Next up, meet Amanda, our New Patient Coordinator, joining us all the way from Tennessee! Apparently, one Tennessee girl just wasn’t enough for us! 🤍

With years of dental experience, the sweetest voice, and a genuine love for connecting with people, Amanda brings so much warmth and bubbly energy to our team!

She’s sweet, welcoming, and will do everything she can to make every patient, new or familiar, feel right at home.

We’re so grateful to have Amanda as part of our growing TLD family!

CPAP therapy is extremely effective for sleep apnea.
But some patients struggle to tolerate the pressure or the mask.
In certain cases we can use oral appliance therapy alongside CPAP to lower the pressure and make treatment easier to wear.
This is called combination therapy.
Sometimes small adjustments make a big difference.

✨ New Faces at TLD! ✨

TLD has experienced some exciting growth these last few months, and we’re so excited to show off some of the beautiful new faces joining our team!

First up, meet Alisha, our newest Sterilization Technician!

Cool as a clam and peaceful to be around, Alisha is the calm to our sometimes crazy storm! She’s learning more every day and brings such a refreshing energy to the office.

Outside of TLD, she’s a proud mama, tea lover, and fan of all things Fallout!

We’re so grateful to have her and can’t wait to watch her continue to grow with us! 🤍

October is National Dental Hygiene Month, and we have FOUR pretty amazing ladies to celebrate!

These women are truly the best of the best. Kind, intelligent, talented, with some pretty great smiles themselves. 😉 They’re everything we were looking for and more!

We’re so grateful for the care they give our patients, the heart they bring to TLD, and couldn’t be prouder to have their names on our doors.

Happy Dental Hygiene Month to our amazing girls! We love and appreciate you! 🫶🏼

People often assume teeth grinding is caused by stress.
But daytime stress actually has very little to do with it.
Grinding is more commonly linked to airway restriction during sleep, certain medications, or daytime jaw habits.
The body is trying to open the airway.
Understanding the root cause changes how we approach treatment.

Sleep apnea is actually the most common non‑communicable disease in the world.
Millions of people live with it without realizing the impact it has on their health.
If someone in your life is constantly tired, snores heavily, or wakes up feeling exhausted… it might be worth investigating.
Treating sleep apnea can dramatically improve quality of life.
Sometimes even mild cases can add years to someone’s life.

A lot of people grind their teeth and assume it’s just stress.
But grinding is often the body’s response to airway problems during sleep.
In some cases, a nightguard simply protects the teeth while the real issue continues.
If you grind your teeth, it may be worth looking at airways and sleep health as well.
Sometimes dentistry overlaps with sleep medicine more than people realize.

Our annual birthday flower post with our girl, Deedee!

Watching Deedee grow, both personally and professionally, during her time at TLD has been such a joy! From being a top-notch dental assistant, to a bride-to-be, she continues to blossom in every season of life!

She’s the ultimate hype woman for her teammates, a foodie at heart, and someone who brings so much love, laughter and joy to our team (and yummy treats).

Deedee, you deserve all the things as fabulous as you. We love you and can’t wait to see all the fun this next year of life brings ❤️

Another option employers are exploring is working directly with local dental offices.
Instead of sending money to a large third party company, those dollars stay in the local community.
Direct care membership plans can often provide straightforward preventive care and savings for employees.
Simple, transparent, and local.
Sometimes the best solutions are the ones closest to home.
