January simply flew by and February is now under way. 2008 is still young and already shaping up to be a great year.

This is a great time to come in for a cleaning and to complete any services that may have been started last year.

After shoveling from the recent snow fall we were feeling the 'winter blues'. We thought that it may be nice to lower our whitening prices to create something to smile about! We are now offering:
Day and Nite White for $250.00
Zoom for $550.00
Go ahead... Smile the winter blues away!!!

We would like to share some wonderful office news with you! Congratulations are in order to Dr. McGrath who recently had a beautiful baby girl named Vivian!

Also, a delightful baby boy, George, was welcomed into the world by Joanne, our hygienist.

Our heartfelt congratulations to both Dr. McGrath, Joanne and their families!

There are four types of teeth that make up the 32 teeth in the adult mouth;
Used for biting and tearing food. Used for aiding in the tearing and holding food in place. Used for crushing and grinding food. Also used for crushing and grinding our food before we swallow. Your teeth work together to aid in digestion, maintain the shape of your jawbone and smile and don't forget your overall oral and physical health. A missing or damaged tooth can put the surrounding teeth at increased risk of decay and lead to future problems. It is important to care for and maintain every tooth regardless of their visibility when you smile.
A healthy mouth is essential to a healthy body, so much so that early signs of health problems often appear in the mouth. Spotting potential health problems is another reason that regular visits to the dentist can help to keep you smiling. Come by our office next time you're in the neighborhood, even if it's just to smile and say hi, we'd be happy to discuss your teeth or anything else for that matter.
