It’s More Than “Just a Cleaning” 🦷✨

When you come in for your routine hygiene visit, it’s about so much more than simply getting your teeth cleaned!

🦷 Preventing cavities and identifying areas of concern early
🔍 Checking your gums for signs of inflammation or periodontal disease
👄 Oral cancer screenings to look for anything unusual
❤️ Evaluating your oral health and how it can connect to your overall health
💡 Education and personalized recommendations to help you keep your smile healthy between visits

Regular hygiene appointments give our team the opportunity to catch small problems before they become bigger ones—and help you maintain a healthy smile for years to come.

So, the next time you think, “It’s just a cleaning,” remember… it’s so much more than that! 💙

Today, we’re saying "see you later" to someone who has been such a special part of our team. 💙

Brittany has touched the lives of so many patients with her kindness, compassion, and caring heart. She has been a wonderful teammate, and her positive attitude will be deeply missed by both our team and the patients she has cared for over the years.

While we're certainly sad to see her go, we couldn't be happier for her as she begins this exciting new chapter as a stay-at-home mom. There is no doubt that this will be her greatest adventure yet, and we know she'll pour the same love and dedication into motherhood that she brought to our practice every day.

Brittany, thank you for everything you've done for our patients, our team, and our practice. We wish you and your family all the happiness in the world. You'll always have a place in the Dentistry By Design family, and we can't wait to watch this next chapter unfold.

Please join us in wishing Brittany all the best! 💐❤️

📚✨ Investing in education means investing in the best care for our patients!

Our hygienists, Hailey and Kourtnee, recently attended RDH Under One Roof, where they had the opportunity to connect with fellow dental hygienists from across the country, expand their knowledge through continuing education, and explore the latest techniques, products, and innovations in dental hygiene.

Beyond the valuable learning experience, it was a wonderful opportunity for them to bond as teammates while sharing ideas and inspiration. They're excited to bring everything they learned back to our practice so we can continue providing the highest level of care to our amazing patients.

Please join us in thanking Hailey and Kourtnee for their dedication to lifelong learning and their commitment to making every patient experience even better! 💙🦷

🪥 Toothbrush Day – June 26 🪥

Did you know your toothbrush should be replaced every 3–4 months—or sooner if the bristles become frayed? Using a worn toothbrush can make it harder to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

To celebrate Toothbrush Day, we're reminding everyone to:
✅ Replace your toothbrush regularly
✅ Brush twice a day for two minutes
✅ Use gentle, circular motions to clean all tooth surfaces

Stop by our office and pick up a complimentary travel toothbrush while supplies last!

A fresh toothbrush is a simple step toward a healthier smile. 😁✨
