We are thankful to have the opportunity to support such a worthy cause. We hope to see everyone this weekend at Riverfest!

A big thank you to North Fork Dental for sponsoring Riverfest! 💧

North Fork Dental has always been a strong supporter of WSCC and its work. As a past board member, owner Nick Sampalis has personally helped support conservation in the valley. If you walk by the office in Hotchkiss, you may even spot a public lands sign in the window, a small reflection of that ongoing commitment.

We’re grateful for the continued support of partners who care deeply about the health of our local lands, waters, and community. 🌾

🤰🦷 Dental Care During Pregnancy: What You Need to Know

Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it also brings changes that can affect your oral health. Here are some important tips to keep your smile healthy for you and your baby:
✨ Hormonal changes matter
Increased hormones can make your gums more sensitive and prone to inflammation (often called “pregnancy gingivitis”).
🪥 Stick to a strong oral hygiene routine
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to help prevent gum disease and cavities.
🍎 Watch your diet
Frequent snacking and cravings (especially sugary foods) can increase your risk of tooth decay—try to choose healthy options when possible.
🤢 Morning sickness tips
If you experience vomiting, rinse your mouth with water or a baking soda solution afterward. Avoid brushing immediately to protect your enamel.
🦷 Dental visits are safe and important
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are not only safe during pregnancy—they’re recommended! Be sure to tell your dentist that you’re pregnant.
💡 Don’t ignore symptoms
Bleeding gums, tooth pain, or swelling should be checked promptly. Oral health is closely linked to overall health.
Taking care of your teeth is part of taking care of your baby 💕
If you have questions, your dental team is here to help!

We’re so excited to share that our brand-new sign was installed yesterday!

This feels like a huge step forward in making our practice easier to find and more welcoming for the North Fork Valley community.

We wanted to honor the natural beauty of Hotchkiss by keeping a wooden background that blends with the valley’s character, while also creating something that stands out for our patients and neighbors.

We are proud to serve this community and continue growing with you all.

Here are a couple photos of the installation process + the before & after (such a big improvement!).

Thank you for supporting us. We’re so grateful to be your local dental team. 🦷✨

Like many others in the valley, this is how a part of our day looks. If you haven’t been checking out the shopper lately, you might want to. We’re in there and I think you’ll like what you see!
