Exciting Announcement 🎉

Becoming a mom has been one of my greatest joys and I am fortunate to have had the luxury of spending time with our little one at home for as long as I have. Motherhood is by far the most challenging and best journey I’ve ever embarked on. That said, I’ve missed dentistry: working on a team, caring for my sweet patients, hearing about them and their families, and changing smiles for the better.

I am so excited to announce I joined David G Polhemus DDS, PLLC and his team to offer the best dentistry has to offer in Raleigh. I met Dr. Dave through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and am so impressed with the practice he has worked to build, 34 years in the making. His team is wonderful, the office is beautiful, and the patients have been so welcoming.

It feels great to be back in the office doing what I love. Please reach out if you’d like to schedule an appointment, we’d love to see you! 🦷🪥

Celebrating with a throwback picture from graduation as I cheer on my friends, colleagues and mentors receiving their FAGDs and MAGDs at the AGD meeting tonight. I was planning on being there and was looking forward to crossing that stage to receive my FAGD, but had some recent changes that prevented me from making the trip to TX. Cheering you all on from NC! Congratulations!! 🎉

On the days I'm not working in private practice, one of my greatest joys has been teaching the 3rd and 4th year dental students in clinic at UNC. It's been a great semester working alongside these compassionate, hardworking student doctors and I have enjoyed every minute of it. The future of dentistry is very bright and I can't wait to see what amazing things they accomplish in the coming years. Congratulations, Class of 2021!! 🎓🎉🙌

Shout out to Stephanie Swords Schaaf, Luiz Pimenta & Toby Lovette Lauster for being wonderful colleagues to teach and work with! 💙

Biggest side effect I’ve experienced thus far: Hope... that this pandemic is finally coming to an end. 🦠

I got the shot because I trust and believe in science. I did it to protect my loved ones, my work family, my patients, you, and your loved ones.

Super grateful to have received the vaccine and for the healthcare workers who have been on the front lines. My nurse had me smiling the whole way through, thank you for all you do! 🙏

Looking forward to a better, brighter, healthier new year🥂

🆃🆁🅸🅲🅺 or 𝓣𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓽? 👻
Let’s face it: not all candy is created equal!❕
We all know the sugar contributes to cavity formation, but did you know there are some candies us dentists would rather you eat than others? 🧐

😇 Treats 🍬
𝓒𝓱𝓸𝓬𝓸𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓮 - Melts in your mouth and doesn’t stick to your teeth. Dark chocolate is best, but milk chocolate isn’t a bad runner up.

𝓝𝓾𝓽𝓼 - They’re a good source of fiber, protein and healthy fats. They also break up the stickiness of the candy.

𝓢𝓾𝓰𝓪𝓻-𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓮/𝓧𝔂𝓵𝓲𝓽𝓸𝓵 - Xylitol is what makes those sugar-free candies taste like nothing is missing. Plus, they help you salivate and keep your mouth feeling fresh.

👿 Tricks: 🍭
🆂🆃🅸🅲🅺🆈 - The stickier the candy, the worse it is for your teeth. It sticks in all of the grooves and crevices, so it’s harder to brush off and cavities can easily form. If you’re picking the candy out of your teeth, (think: Butterfingers 😩), then it’s no good! 🙅🏻‍♀️

🆂🅾🆄🆁 - Decreases the pH of saliva making it more acidic, which accelerates the breakdown of enamel (the hard white part of your tooth that protects it). Sorry to say, but Sour Patch Kids are the bullies your teeth never wanted to hang with.🏃🏻‍♂️💨👹

🅷🅰🆁🅳 - Hard candy is bad for two reasons: 1) Chewing it (who ACTUALLY counts how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie roll pop?) can break teeth and 2) Hard candies linger in the mouth, so the longer exposure to sugar is more harmful to your teeth. There’s nothing Jolly about those Jolly ranchers 😡

What’s your favorite candy? Personally, I’m torn between Reese’s and Twix 😍
