Forget the “43 things you NEED to buy on Prime Day.” 🤯

Your favorite dentist says you need 3. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I promise, I did NOT say, don't brush your teeth! 😉

Thanks to the Academy of General Dentistry for asking me to speak on behalf of our profession, and as an advocate for dentists in the US and Canada! 🙏 🦷

Five months after supply chain challenges linked in part to the war in Iran forced a reduction, some Maryland customers received water at normal fluoride levels.

PSA for my dentist friends!

You don’t have to treat TMD or sleep apnea. But you should know how to recognize potential signs—and help your patients get appropriate care.

Dentists: if these conditions aren’t on your radar, this is a conversation you need to join.

Join DCAGD and Dr. Carol Gabriel for:
✨ Introduction to Orofacial Pain: The 12th Dental Specialty
🎓 Earn 2 CE credits

A former general dentist, Dr. Gabriel completed a two-year, full-time Orofacial Pain training program at the University of Kentucky and has managed more than 3,000 patients since 2021.
Her practice is limited to Orofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine, with a conservative treatment philosophy that does not include altering the patient’s bite. TMD. Headaches. Facial pain. Sleep apnea. You don’t need to offer every treatment to help a patient take the right next step. Build your awareness. Strengthen your referral confidence. Be part of the conversation.

👉 Register:

Dr. Carol Gabriel, a fellow of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain and Board-Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain, will share her treatment knowledge of Orofacial Pain.

Paying the Piper 😎😋🙂

Yep. That’s me. At a concert. With my laptop open. Working. 😂💻🎶

Would some people think that’s crazy? Probably.

Would I rather have been dancing? Absolutely.

But sometimes… you gotta pay the piper.

I was out this week helping a relative after surgery because family comes first. I also needed to be a mom and make sure one of my kids knew that I was present and showing up, so I drove a carload of kids to see Treaty Oak Revival . And somewhere in between all of that, I still had a small business to run, patients who count on me, and work that wasn’t magically going to do itself.

So I went to the concert—and found a spot where I could open my computer and get some work done. 😎

That’s life sometimes.

Whether you’re a business owner, parent, child, doctor, friend, neighbor—or all of the above—we’re constantly deciding when to say yes, when to say no, when to show up, and when something else has to give.

I don’t think balance always means giving everything equal time. Sometimes balance means knowing what matters most in that moment and being willing to make the trade-off.

This week, family needed more of me.
So tonight, the laptop came to the concert. 😂

No regrets. Priorities handled. Piper paid. 😎😋🙂

Why have you done that’s surprised you, because you adulted vs played and pulled up the big boy pants version of yourself?
