Today we’re celebrating an incredible milestone — 27 years with our amazing dental hygienist, Julie! 🎉🦷

For nearly three decades, Julie has been dedicated to caring for her patients and building lasting relationships with them. She truly loves getting to know each person she meets and genuinely cares about helping keep their smiles healthy for many years to come. Her kindness, experience, and compassion make such a difference in the lives of our patients and our team every single day.

When she’s not in the office, Julie loves spending time with her family, traveling, and hanging out with her two Alaskan Malamutes, Walter and Sasha. She’s also an active member of a curling league!

Fun fact: Julie is a huge NASCAR fan and even works on her brother’s pit crew at Berlin Raceway! 🏁

Thank you, Julie, for 27 wonderful years of dedication, care, and friendship. We are so grateful to have you as part of our team! 💙

Today we’re celebrating 2 amazing years with our dental hygienist, Brenda! 🦷✨

Brenda loves being part of a team that truly cares about patients and works together to create a positive experience every day.

We’re also so thankful to have her as one of our Spanish-speaking team members, helping us better serve and connect with our community! ❤️

Outside of the office, Brenda enjoys spending time with her family and her adorable corgi, Toby, and loves relaxing with a good movie or show. Fun fact: Brenda is incredibly creative and enjoys arts and crafts, especially painting, drawing, and other creative projects! 🎨🐶

🎉 Happy 1-Year Work Anniversary, Jessie! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating our wonderful Clinic Coordinator, Jessie, and her first year with our team! 💙

Jessie loves learning something new every day — whether it’s expanding her dental knowledge in preparation for the GRCC Dental Hygiene Program or getting to know more about each of her coworkers. Her passion for growth and helping others shines through in everything she does.

Outside of work, Jessie is a dance teacher who loves sharing her passion for dance with the kiddos she teaches. She also enjoys spending time with family and friends — whether that’s relaxing at the beach, out on a boat, or gathered around a summertime campfire. ☀️🔥

Fun fact: Jessie is incredibly artistic! She loves crafting and painting, and she also danced for an impressive 16 years. 🎨🩰

Thank you, Jessie, for an amazing first year filled with hard work, compassion, and positivity. We’re so lucky to have you as part of our dental family and can’t wait to see all the amazing things ahead for you!

Happy 1-Year Work Anniversary to our amazing Director of First Impressions, Tara! 🎉

For the past year, Tara has been the welcoming smile and friendly voice that helps make every patient feel comfortable, appreciated, and truly heard from the moment they walk through our doors. Her passion for building relationships and supporting patients throughout their oral health journey shines in everything she does. We are so grateful for the care, compassion, and positivity she brings to our team each and every day!

When she’s not creating incredible patient experiences, Tara can usually be found with her nose in a good book, relaxing at the beach, or giving old furniture new life through refinishing and repurposing projects. And fun fact: Steve Miller from the Steve Miller Band is her 3rd cousin! 🎸

Thank you, Tara, for an amazing first year — we can’t wait to celebrate many more! 💙

Did you know that myofunctional therapy can help improve more than just your smile? 👄✨

Myofunctional therapy focuses on strengthening and retraining the muscles of the mouth, tongue, and face to improve proper breathing, chewing, swallowing, and tongue posture. These exercises can benefit both children and adults and may help with concerns such as:

🦷 Mouth breathing
🦷 Tongue thrust
🦷 Teeth grinding
🦷 Snoring or poor sleep quality
🦷 Speech concerns
🦷 Orthodontic relapse

By addressing the root cause of these habits and muscle patterns, myofunctional therapy works hand-in-hand with dental and orthodontic treatment to support long-term oral health and overall wellness.

Interested in learning if myofunctional therapy may be right for you or your child? Our myofunctional team would love to answer your questions! 💙
