All about retainers!! Great article summarizing the benefits of aligner and orthodontic therapy - preventing inflammation and gum disease, minimizing unwanted tooth movement, removing uneven forces that increase wear and tear on natural teeth and existing restorations such as crowns, veneers, tooth colored fillings and implants. https://www.health.harvard.edu/healthy-aging-and-longevity/want-to-prevent-shifting-teeth-maybe-you-need-retainers

Dentists love a good outlier story, especially when the outlier is one of us. A 99 year old dentist still seeing patients in Japan. A 90 year old in Texas still working five days a week. A 93 year old in Indiana still restoring teeth. A Canadian oral surgeon who lived to 110.

It almost makes it sound like dentistry comes with a secret anti aging warranty.

The stories are real. The inspiration is real. But the lesson is not that dentistry makes you live longer.

The lesson is that purpose matters.

Dentistry keeps you mentally engaged, socially connected, and useful. The dentists who keep practicing into their 80s and 90s usually simplify. They cut back hours, trim the schedule, and focus on the parts of the profession they still enjoy.

In other words, they redesign the back nine.

Dentistry is not a fountain of youth. It still comes with neck pain, insurance drama, staffing headaches, and the patient who wants the cheapest permanent option.

But work that keeps you engaged and connected can age surprisingly well.

Maybe the real question is not whether dentistry helps you live longer.

It is whether you are building a practice you would still want to walk into when you are old enough to have earned the right not to.

What part of dentistry would you keep doing if money no longer mattered? 🦷

Happy Lunar New Year! 2026 Year of the Fire 🔥🐴🐎 🔥 Horse!

The Year of the Fire Horse is a remarkable event in the Chinese zodiac. While the zodiac cycles every 12 years, the Fire Horse year appears just once every 60 years, making it especially rare. This year is celebrated for its dynamic energy, symbolizing passion, change, and transformation. Horses represent strength, freedom, and spirited perseverance, and the element of fire magnifies these qualities, igniting their brilliance to new heights.

Key Facts about the Year of the Fire Horse:
The last Fire Horse year was in 1966. The next is 2026, making it a generational event.
Represents Unstoppable Energy: Fire amplifies the horse’s natural vitality, leading to boldness, ambition, and a drive for progress.

Cultural Significance: In East Asia, Fire Horse years are seen as both auspicious and challenging—bringing transformative opportunities, but also requiring careful guidance and wise leadership.

Symbol of Transformation: The Fire Horse is believed to bring about major changes that break old patterns and inspire new growth.

How can we draw inspiration from the Year of the Fire Horse in our own lives? No matter your journey, this is a time to embrace new challenges, learn, and find courage within yourself. If you’re a nervous rider, perhaps this is the year you finally gain the confidence you’ve been seeking—whether that means participating in group lessons, mastering a difficult maneuver, or feeling pure freedom while cantering in sync with your horse. For others, it may be the perfect opportunity to take that first step and get in the saddle for the very first time. Whatever your aspirations, we are here to support you. We’re inspired by the Year of the Fire Horse and look forward to setting bold new goals together. Share your ambitions with us and let’s make this an exciting year of growth and achievement!
