Who has heard of xylitol?

Just because we work in a dental office where mention of xylitol is fairly commonplace, that doesn't mean everybody else out there knows about it, right?

Xylitol is legit. Take a minute to peruse this article. We'll follow this up with a look at the benefits of probiotics, both systemic and dental (oral).

Xylitol has fewer calories and a lower glycemic index than sugar, making it an attractive sweetener for people with diabetes and those trying to lose weight. Some research suggests that it may also have benefits for dental health and ear infections, as well as antioxidant properties. Learn more abou...

Just so everyone knows, Dr. Moreno and Young are part of the 90% that recommend brushing (and flossing)!

Here's something kinda cool. This last weekend, Dr. Young was invited down to Roseburg, Oregon to train dentists interested in learning how to place implants. It was a fun two day course culminating in some live patient surgeries. Neoss implants did a great job hosting the event. Thanks to everyone involved.

One day at work about 4 months ago, one of our dental assistants, Beth, mentioned that she heard something interesting on the evening news. I was interested to learn that other dentists in the nation are experiencing the same thing I am; an influx of patients with new jaw pains resulting from pressure stress (sometimes called clenching or grinding). I'm here to tell you, its a real thing. Personally, I would say that I'm seeing about 3 times the normal amount in this last year. COVID isn't the only thing stressing people out, but it certainly is a major factor.

What do I do about it? Sometimes I recommend a night guard. It depends on a few things. Sometimes Chiropractic medicine helps, sometimes massage helps. I think what will really help will be resuming a normal life when the time is right.

A study of people in Israel and Poland finds that many are experiencing stress-related facial and jaw pain during the pandemic.

Better late than never?? Halloween pics! We have a good time here. Just a word of caution here...if you think you might have a hard time taking "Abu the street rat" or "Woody" seriously, best to schedule your appointment on another day!

This was a totally unexpected surprise. Kind of a long build up story that I'll spare you all, but we just had to share these pics! We happen to be on the good side of a super-professional cake baker and decorator. Check out the details on this cake! Even the dentists were impressed with the level of detail on some of the more technical parts of the cake. So impressed. We all felt a little sad cutting into it, but that only lasted a short time because the cake was pretty dang delicious. Take some time and check out the details here. One question: Which effigy on the top of the cake looks more like the real person? Thank you, Melissa!

We try to do things well around here, and that includes Halloween! Check out some of these costumes from over the years that Heather put together. They're all on display in the reception area. Oh, and if you happen to have an appointment on October 31st...just...try to enjoy it! After all, not everybody can say they've had a filling done by Captain Jack Sparrow!

Hello Everybody,

Here is something that we haven't really done much of (live patient interviews). We'd love to know what you think! It's very clear that we are a bunch of audio-visual hacks. We're much better at dentistry! The goal here is to let you know the types of services that are offered here at Moreno and Young Dental. For more information, visit our webpage linked here
