We’re celebrating Dental Hygiene Appreciation Month! Highly skilled, competent, gentle and empathetic we are grateful for each one working at our office. These ladies are a critical part of our patient’s health care.

It might seem like when you come in to get your teeth cleaned, they just scrape off the tartar and let you go on your way. But it is much more than that!

Hygienists remove the bacteria responsible for inflammation. Not only does this bacteria cause inflammation in your gums, but this same bacteria that originates in your mouth has been linked to many diseases in our bodies!

These bacteria that start in the mouth are linked to higher cases of heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, COPD and diabetes.

Though there are, of course, many other factors involved in these diseases, healing inflammation in the mouth is imperative for overall health.

Coming in regularly for dental hygiene treatments and preventative cleanings, keep your mouth healthy and bacterial inflammation low.

Call today for an appointment with one of these knowledgeable and caring professionals to keep your mouth and body healthy! 209-529-0675

This week was bittersweet for us as we celebrated Lori’s retirement. She started in our practice 24 years ago, doing bookkeeping part time.

As the years went on, she took on more responsibility, and eventually the role of office manager.

Her ability to lead with care, commitment to her job and her work ethic made the office not only run smoothly, but the team she helped build feels like family.

Through the years there has been good times and hard times, like loosing Dr. Isenhower. Lori was a dependable and caring friend to Dr. Acree and his wife, Bonnie through it all.

Knowing this day was coming soon, she worked diligently to prepare the whole team so that we would ready. The team we have is amazing and work together so well!

We will all miss Lori very much! But we’re also excited for her in this new chapter in her life with her husband, Bob, and the time she has now to spend with all of her sweet grandchildren!!

The whole team celebrated her with delicious food at Skewers and a delectable chocolate mousse cake from Village Baking. Dr. Acree cried through his speech and we took turns sharing about Lori.

Enjoy your retirement Lori, you deserve it!
