Today, I can’t help but think & pray for all the boys Cole & I treated in the Ukrainian orphanages over 9 years… when they aged out of a system that gave them no real marketable skills, many joined the army. How many Sashas, how many Iigors will not survive the Russian machine…

Meet Scruff, the newest Waggener-
T & I “rescued” a lab pup this afternoon. He’ll be 1 on Friday.
His first act in his new home: into the mud then jump in the pool, lol. Hannah is staying outside his kennel to keep him from crying on his first night.

Many, many thanks to the expert help from Geri & Kirk Geweniger. She has raised 20 guide dog pups, and he has trained and handled dogs for the Sheriff’s Department. Their expert assessments (with son Eli’s help), made it much easier to make the decision. This is our first dog who’s not a puppy.

September is national gum care month!

Gum disease begins when plaque builds up along and under your gum line. Plaque causes an infection that hurts the gum and bone that hold your teeth in place. A mild form of gum disease may make your gums red, tender, and more likely to bleed. This problem, called gingivitis, can often be fixed by brushing and flossing every day.

A more severe form of gum disease, called periodontitis, must be treated by a dentist. If not treated, this infection can lead to sore, bleeding gums, painful chewing problems, and even tooth loss.

To prevent gum disease:

Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
Floss regularly.
Visit your dentist routinely for a checkup and cleaning. Tell the dentist about any medical conditions you have and medications you take.
Eat a well-balanced diet.
Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for gum disease.

Taking care of your gum health is just as important of taking care of your teeth.
Please call us to schedule your teeth cleaning and exam.
We are here for all your dental needs.

Yesterday was national tooth fairy day!!!

The loss of baby teeth can be a big milestone in your child's development. While it can be unsettling for children to lose the baby teeth they've become accustomed to, the appearance of permanent adult teeth is an important experience for them. As they start to lose baby teeth, parents will want to do their best to guide their child through the experience and instill proper dental care techniques for the years to come. Tooth fairy conversations aside, here are some important tips parents need to know when their child loses baby tooth.

While most of the process of losing baby teeth will occur on its own, there are some care tips you'll want to pass along to your child. First, when they lose a tooth, its natural for some bleeding to occur. Be sure to create a calm environment where there is no panic over blood in the mouth. Your child can rinse with warm water to help speed the process. You can also clean the area with a warm washcloth after the tooth has fallen out.

Generally your child will want to resume normal brushing and flossing habits after the tooth has fallen out, but make sure they don't focus too much on the area of the lost tooth. Some children have a tendency to brush hard around the area of the lost tooth, and this can cause discomfort or irritation on the gums. You should join your child the next time they brush their teeth and explain this. They can also floss normally, and ask them to skip the sensitive area where the tooth has fallen out for a few days.

When it comes to your child’s teeth, summertime isn’t always the healthiest time. There are late nights, sleepovers, vacations, and days filled with ice cream or other sugary treats synonymous with summer break.
The start of the new school year is the perfect time to reset, get back into a routine, and put your children on the right path.
Dental exams are also essential to your child’s overall health, which could impact his or her performance in school.
Please call us to make a teeth cleaning and exam appointment for your child.
We love to see your child and care for their teeth!
Have a wonderful new school year!
