We often get asked by parents if x-rays are really needed. If we are recommending them, then the answer is - yes!

We understand the concerns about exposure to radiation which is why we follow the "ALARA" principle - "As Low As Reasonably Achievable." We only take x-rays if they are going to affect our decision-making when it comes to your child's healthcare and follow the guidelines of the American Dental Association and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. If we don't have x-rays, then we are often just making a guess about what is best for your child - and we never want to just guess when it comes to health. We know you expect the best - which is why we don't want to make recommendations with a blindfold on! 🧐

These images are a couple of examples of situations where everything looks great on the surface - but the x-rays tell a different story:
🩵The first is an example of a child that had no known injury, but the x-ray shows a broken root. While no treatment is indicated right now, we do know that it is important to follow up and ensure that an infection doesn't develop and cause damage to the adult tooth!
💙The second is an example of a child who appears to have perfect, healthy teeth on the surface. The x-ray shows advance cavities, which untreated, could lead to pain or an infection requiring an extraction in a relatively short period of time!

Taking dental radiographs is not something we recommend lightly, but if detecting a condition early can prevent more extensive, costly or invasive procedures later -then we certainly think that is a benefit!

A little late - but we celebrated our incredible dental hygienists earlier this month!
This team does so much more than clean teeth - they set the tone for all dental visits, teaching kids what it is like to sit in a chair and have your mouth checked, they provide guidance to parents on caring for these little mouths, and along the way make it fun!

We are so grateful for each one of them and hope you feel their passion as much as we do! Join us in celebrating this wonderful group!

Today we are celebrating our incredible admin team! These hardworking ladies deserve weeks of appreciation for all that they do. Courtney, Jennifer, Kennedy and Laura make parents and kids feel at ease from the first phone call to the final insurance question. They are here to guide each of you through every appointment and wear so many hats we can't even begin to cover them all! From cleanings to surgeries, referrals to insurance, they've got you!

Please join us in thanking them for their hard work and dedication!

Our team is continually improving and this week we completed our semi-annual basic life support (CPR) training! We had some very attentive students in the front row, but everyone learned something new. We hope an emergency never happens, but we absolutely will be prepared if one does!

We loved spending time at local schools for Children’s Dental Health Month in February! 🦷

Dr. Christy, Dr. Meghan and some of our staff got to teach these eager learners about how food choices affect our health and taking care of our teeth, read books and play around with the dental tools and friends! This is a highlight of our year and we love to see the enthusiasm these kids have! 🪥✨
