Well, I did it! 29,029ft climb, 35 miles, and incredible stories of perseverance all around me! Thanks to those that encouraged me along the way! This past year has had some “moments” to deal with and training for this was my common thread…to push forward! Sometimes we just have to push ourselves to find the strength we never knew we had…I found mine in 29029! See you soon at the office! You might recognize your dentist in this video recap of the weekend at the starting line!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

This young man 4 weeks ago sustained a horrible elbow to his face playing basketball. (A reminder to always wear a mouthguard!) 23 stitches later at 11pm midweek, we got him all taken care of and fixed up. Two upper teeth and their supporting bone were displaced palatally and his lip had two significant tears. Today his teeth both are firm and appropriately vital with ice and normal movement. No root canals needed and no signs of permanently damaging atrophy to the PDL/bony/tooth attachment. Feeling pretty good about this case and so happy for this young patient!

To my patients: I have been training for 8 months for a 29,029ft climb at 7000-9000ft in Steamboat, CO. I will be challenging myself with about 325 other crazy people on a 35 mile, 29,029ft climb in less than 36 hours. I need to do 14 hikes up to the peak.

If you would like to follow me on Friday there is a link about the event and as soon and participants reach the first peak (about 7:30am Friday the 14th) there will be a tracker updated every 90 min. I need 5.5 peaks every 12 hours to stay on my goal. See you on the other side with my 29029 Red Hat! Link below:

6 years later we finally touched up Alicia’s lips. It is hard to believe her May 2020 lip treatment lasted this long, but it was finally time to get them back to OMG! She loves a defined Cupid’s bow and we concentrated on definition without as much volume. I think we hit a home run! Filler is 1.2cc Versa+

Last week I got to share my birthday with my “Bday Buddy” Julie. She makes everything more fun and lives life the way we all hope we can live it in our retirement! She decided I am gonna retire, and then find my favorite job and sort of retire! Then every couple weeks I am going to go on little trips, then epic trips, make everyone jealous half her age because she travels with 30 girlfriends on cruises and Mexico trios. Her heart is big, and so is her smile and I am so glad she found her favorite boss to celebrate her special day with….we love you Julie and I need you to celebrate many more with me until I sort of retire!

Sleep apnea is a growing condition affecting the sleep and health of many Americans. It is often a comorbid with heart disease, obesity, and other conditions. 20,000-40,000 people die annually from sleep apnea and this case below is how I treat it in my office. The graph above demonstrates the loudness and intensity the night before I delivered his sleep apnea appliance. The graph below it shows normal breathing and sleeping patterns. This 24 hour incredible change is also demonstrated by the patient reporting increased energy and overall better health. Let us know if you are interested in getting better sleep…it may save your life!

We celebrated America’s birthday last week before I left for San Francisco at our favorite Mexican Restaurant. America is my quiet hard worker that is so attentive and kind to those she works with and those we treat in the office. Everyone needs an America in their lives, because she makes sure what you need is ready for you! I am thankful for her hard work and friendship at work!
