Correct Swallowing Supports Healthy Growth

Children swallow thousands of times every day. When the tongue rests on the roof of the mouth and functions properly during swallowing, it can help support healthy jaw development, dental alignment, and airway function.

Signs of an improper swallowing pattern may include tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, or excessive lip and chin movement when swallowing.

Small habits repeated thousands of times each day can have a big impact on a child's development. If you have concerns about your child's oral function, an evaluation may help identify underlying issues early.

Yesterday was a bittersweet day for us!

After 12 1/2 years, Lorrie decided it was time to say goodbye to travel and spend more time with her family.

Although we’re happy for her, we’re still trying to figure out how we’re going to move forward without her! Coming to work will never quite feel the same.

We know you will all miss her too!

Lorrie, you better come back to visit us! We love you and wish you a happy retirement 💗

Just a few months after the discovery of X-rays, German dentist Dr. Otto Walkhoff performed one of the most important experiments in dental history. Using a small glass photographic plate placed inside his own mouth, he captured what became the world’s first dental radiograph.

The exposure reportedly lasted around 25 minutes — an uncomfortable and risky process by today’s standards. But for the first time ever, a dentist could see inside teeth and bone without cutting into tissue.

That single image transformed dentistry forever. It opened the door to modern diagnostic imaging, allowing dentists to detect hidden decay, infections, bone loss, impacted teeth, and many other conditions that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Today, dental X-rays take only fractions of a second. But modern dental imaging began with this historic moment in 1896.
