We know how to treat cavities. But are we asking enough questions about WHY they develop?

Oral health is influenced by more than brushing and flossing.

Saliva, diet, medications, breathing patterns, and other health factors can all play a role.

And the connection goes both ways. Sometimes changes in the mouth can offer clues that deserve a closer look at someone’s overall health.

This is why I believe in wellness dentistry.

Not just treating what’s happening in the mouth—but understanding what may be contributing to it. ✨

Have you ever wondered why you keep getting cavities despite taking good care of your teeth?

Early morning tennis, then this in my rearview mirror. 🌅 I had to pull over. The photo doesn’t do it justice.

Some mornings the best thing you can do for your health is stop the car.

Ten minutes of morning light can help set your body’s clock for the night ahead. Save this for the next time you need a reason to step outside.

What’s something beautiful you stopped for lately? Tell me below. 👇

I was vegetarian for over 25 years, and I couldn’t play tag with my kids for five minutes.

After early menopause, I wasn’t getting enough protein, and it was hard to get enough from beans and tofu. When I started eating animal protein and cut out gluten and dairy, my energy came back. Then I could run, play tennis again, and strength train.

Not everyone needs meat. I did.

As a dentist, here’s why I care: muscle supports your bones, and your jawbone is bone too.

Start simple. Protein at every meal. Then lift something challenging a couple of times a week.

Send this to a friend over 40 who’s running on empty. 💪

What’s one change that gave you your energy back? Tell me below. 👇

Seattle tennis is indoors. Nationals was outdoors in Florida. 🎾

Six a.m. warm-ups in the dark, soaked in sweat before our first point. And we had it all with the weather. Sun in our eyes, heat and humidity that bore down on you, rain delays, thunder and lightning. Plus a format that kept changing on us.

We handled it. Not with ease. With tenacity. And we finished fourth in the nation.

At 49, I never thought I’d still be competing after high school. Turns out your body keeps adapting when you keep asking it to.

What’s one thing you’re doing right now that’s outside your comfort zone? Tell me in the comments. 👇

Our team is in the semifinals tomorrow, and my job today was to cheer.

I also watched a team’s grandma (their affectionate term) win a nail-biting third-set tiebreak against a very strong young player. It helped us in the standings, and it reminded me that your body can keep building strength, balance and fitness at any age. Not someday. Now.

Who shows you what’s possible? Tag them.

Check your jaw. Your teeth are meant to be apart for most of the day. If they’re touching right now, you may be clenching without knowing it.

Over time, that can mean a tired jaw, headaches, sensitive teeth, even cracked teeth. The reset takes five seconds: lips together, teeth apart, tongue resting gently on the roof of your mouth.

Save this for the next time you catch yourself, and send it to someone who’s always clenching.

You’re allowed to ask questions before you say yes to treatment. A good dentist will be glad you did.

These are the five I’d want you to ask, no matter who you see. It’s your mouth, and it’s connected to the rest of you, so you get to be part of the plan.

Save this for your next appointment, and send it to someone who’s about to say yes to treatment.

I was a vegetarian for 28 years, and I thought I was eating healthy.

I was exhausted, bloated, and couldn’t keep up with my kids. Then one Zoom training in my basement changed how I eat and how I practice. Now I look at what’s happening in the whole body, not just the teeth.

If you’ve ever felt like the standard advice wasn’t answering your questions, I’ve been there too.

What’s one thing that completely changed how you think about your health? Tell me below.

Menopause doesn’t stop at hot flashes. Estrogen receptors are found in your gums, salivary glands, and jawbone, so changes there are common, and most women are never told to expect them.

I went through menopause more than a decade earlier than average, and this is exactly why I look at more than your teeth.

Save this for your next dental visit, and send it to someone who needs it.
