Happy Monday, and hope you all are staying safe through these storms! We are here in the office today, but dealing with some phone and internet outages. Know that if you try to call us this AM it may not go through, but we will be here!

We’ve been sitting on some exciting news!

Many of you will remember Matt from the office (pictured here with his first patient!), who went from shadowing Dr. Tim during college to working with us as a dental assistant, with the goal of ultimately becoming a dentist himself.

Matt got some great news back in December, and found out that he was accepted to several dental schools! He has chosen to attend Rutgers University, and we’re so excited for him as he gets ready to begin the next leg of his journey later this summer. He is going to make a fantastic dentist and it’s been great to see all of his hard work and dedication pay off. Congrats again, Matt!!

We had such a rewarding experience volunteering at the Eastern Shore Mission of Mercy at the end of March! A total of 1,176 patients were provided with dental care over the weekend by a huge team of volunteers. We are so proud to have been a part of this amazing event, and are looking forward to returning in the future!

Wow, thank you to everyone who wrote such kind words on our anniversary post! We loved reading all of the congratulatory messages, and it’s so neat to hear from all the patients who have been here with us since the very beginning! We’re so lucky to have such an awesome community here. Thanks again!

Last week was a big week: March 6th marked the FORTIETH anniversary of the office’s opening! Since March 6th, 1986, Dr. Tim has been here taking care of generations of smiles, and I’m so proud to work alongside my dad and the rest of our amazing team in the practice he’s built and grown so much from the ground up. We love being a part of this community and getting to know our patients like family, and we are so thankful to all of you for continuing to support us in our commitment to taking the best possible care of you and your loved ones.

Thanks for a great 40 years, and here’s to 40 more!

This article from the American Heart Association summarizing their latest scientific statement about gum disease is a great reminder that, as the authors put it, “your mouth and your heart are connected”. Regular dental care is not just an important part of maintaining the health of your teeth and gums, but can help reduce overall inflammation and the risk of chronic inflammatory diseases.

One of the biggest takeaway messages from the article is, “‘Gum disease and poor oral hygiene can allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream, causing inflammation that may damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups aren’t just about a healthy smile— they’re an important part of protecting your heart.’”

If you have cardiac risk factors, including high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease, or if you’ve ever had a cardiovascular event such as heart attack, stroke, or atrial fibrillation, your regular dental checkups and good home care can be important tools for prevention and risk reduction! Reach out to us if you’re interested in any further reading material on the subject, or if you have any questions!

DALLAS, Dec. 16, 2025 — There is increasing evidence that gum disease is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attack, stroke, atrial fibrillation, heart failure and cardiometabolic health conditions. Effective...
