Personal hygiene is often difficult for neurodivergent individuals (such as those with autism or ADHD) due to sensory processing differences, executive dysfunction, task-switching hurdles, and low-reward brain chemistry. Many could misconstrue this as laziness , but that is not the case. For most , lists are game changers! There are many printable versions available. There are also several apps designed for this exact issue. iDo Hygiene, Pokémon Smile, Finch and Speak Timer are all apps using varying techniques to aid the user in maintaining their personal and oral hygiene .

We’ve been keeping a very big ( or very little ) secret.

Miss Parker Jo Sebasty decided she was ready to make an appearance just a little bit early. She’s 6lbs and 13 oz of pure perfection. Everyone is doing great and adjusting to life as a family of 4.

While maintaining some privacy , Hayley Sebasty wanted to share this. Her mom (grandma😉) saved HAYLEY’s baby clothes all these years!!! Parker is pictured wearing one of Hayley’s first outfits. Is that not the greatest?

Huge congratulations from all of us. Rest up and enjoy every second .

Since we almost always see each other in a clinical setting, we thought it would be fun to show you how Bruce Watkins likes to spend his free time. He said the entire route is just like this.

Me , being a “silly girl” questioned how that was fun.😬🫣 He explained that it requires such precision. Now I get it.

When you are looking for a health care professional, you look for someone who is highly skilled. However , that isn’t the only thing that matters. You want someone who listens to you , who “gets you “. Well, that’s what we want when we refer you to specialists too.

We post frequently when our colleagues send us treats . Well , a couple of weeks ago ,Parrish Orthodontics dropped in with some goodies. As we often do , one of us piped up and said “next time , you should bring margaritas.” 🍹

You know what …… they surprised us! So , we can confirm, that they do indeed listen.

Thank you so much!

The case: the plaintiff was simply enjoying a piece of caramel from her Halloween loot and her 2 year old crown came off.

A dislodged dental crown is generally an urgent dental issue rather than a true after-hours emergency.

What to Do Right Now
• Save the crown: Retrieve the crown from the caramel, rinse it gently with warm water, and store it in a clean, small container.
• Protect the tooth: Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth. If the exposed tooth is sensitive, you can buy temporary dental cement from a local pharmacy to place the crown back on temporarily.
• Never use household glue: Super glue or other household adhesives are toxic and can permanently damage the tooth or make professional re-cementing impossible.

When It Becomes an Emergency:
Seek immediate emergency care only if you experience:
• Severe, unmanageable pain
• Uncontrollable bleeding from the gum area
• Significant swelling in your face or jaw
• Difficulty breathing or swallowing (if you accidentally swallowed or aspirated the crown).

In either scenario , we want to see you quickly . The presence of pain of bleeding is what determines how quickly.
Be safe out there.
