Your Smile Calendar
Plan your wedding day smile with us!
Whether you're the one walking down the aisle, a supporting player in the wedding party, or just dancing 'til the sun comes up ... when you're at a wedding, you'll be doing a lot of smiling! And no matter when your wedding event is scheduled, we can help bring your smile to its camera-captivating best. Just let us know your schedule, and book now to make sure there's time to complete your mini or maxi wedding smile makeover!
Your best smile makeover foundation is an oral hygiene appointment. A clean sparkling smile has a glamor all its own, and you'll get the best cosmetic results if you start with clean enamel and healthy gums.

Brown Bag It!
Ensuring nutrition
It seems we're always saying "it's time to get back on track" with exercise, routine, and especially nutritious foods. Give your kids' dental health a big boost by limiting their trips to cafeteria vending machines!
A recent national survey found that 70% of drinks and 80% of snacks in school vending machines were super-sugary and non-nutritional. As well as contributing to obesity, these school snacks are leading to an increase in cavities among children.
You can help give your all they need by speaking to school administrators about providing healthy, tooth-friendly snacks. You can also help by packing nutritious lunches and break snacks, and teaching and break snacks, and teaching your kids how to choose snacks that will keep their smiles bright. And then of course, there's always brushing and flossing...
