Next up in our hygienist spotlight series is Kaitlin Griffin! 🦷✨

Kaitlin is one of our amazing dental hygienists, and we’re excited to share a little more about who she is outside of the office! Building relationships and helping patients feel comfortable is such an important part of what we do, and we love giving everyone the chance to get to know our team on a more personal level. 💙

Outside of dentistry, Kaitlin spends much of her time serving and building community through her church. She leads Bible studies, mentors 6th grade girls in youth group, and enjoys spending time with her husband Nate through their home group and church community. Faith, relationships, and serving others are things she values deeply.

When she’s not at the office, you can also find her traveling, working out, going on walks, cheering on Texas A&M during football season, enjoying coffee and Chipotle, or watching Survivor! Fun fact: she can even do a backflip! 🤸‍♀️☕🌯🏈✈️

We hope these team spotlights help our patients, both new and familiar faces, feel even more connected to the people caring for their smiles every day. Be sure to say hi to Kaitlin next time you see her in the office! 😊

🦷 Dental Tip 🦷
Tip: “Stay hydrated for a healthier smile.”
Why: Water is your smile’s best friend! 🪥
Drinking water helps wash away food particles and bacteria while keeping your mouth from getting too dry.
Saliva plays a big role in protecting your teeth—so staying hydrated helps prevent cavities and bad breath! ✨

Today is more than a long weekend or the start of summer. Today, we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country and the families who carry that sacrifice every single day. 🇺🇸

Freedom comes at a cost many of us will never fully understand, and Memorial Day is a reminder to honor those who gave everything for people they would never meet.

From all of us at 21st Century Dental, we remember, we honor, and we are deeply grateful.

🦷 Myth Monday 🦷
Myth: “Oral health doesn’t affect overall health.”
Fact: It absolutely does! 🪥
Your oral health is closely linked to your overall health. Conditions like gum disease have been connected to heart disease, diabetes, and more.
Taking care of your teeth and gums is an important part of taking care of your whole body. ✨

Last but not least, we’re highlighting Dr. Kumar and sharing a little bit about the person behind the white coat! 🦷✨

Outside of the office, Dr. Kumar enjoys surfing, snowboarding, staying active, spending time outdoors, and hanging out with his two dogs, including one rescue pup! He’s also recently getting into cycling and spending most of his free time learning one of life’s biggest adventures… being a dad to his 6-month-old little one. 👶🐾🏄‍♂️🚴

We love giving our patients the chance to get to know the non-clinical side of our team because we know going to the dentist feels more comfortable when you know the people caring for you. Whether you’re a longtime patient or thinking about visiting us for the first time, we hope these spotlights help you feel more connected to our team and our office family. 💙

Help us show Dr. Kumar some love in the comments! ⬇️
