April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month…
Oral and oropharyngeal cancer (cancer of the mouth and upper throat) collectively kill nearly one person every hour of every day of the year. Of the people newly diagnosed with these cancers, 40 percent will not survive longer than 5 years. The death rate associated with oral and oropharyngeal cancers remains particularly high because the cancers routinely are discovered late in their development. When they are detected and treated early, mortality and treatment-related health problems are reduced. Our office does regular oral cancer screenings, which remain the best method to detect oral cancer in its early stages.
Spring Break!!
Our office will be closed from Friday April 3rd through Sunday April 12th and will reopen on Monday April 13th. If you experience a true dental emergency while we are closed, we will have the covering dentist’s information on our voicemail. Common dental emergencies may include severe tooth pain, swelling, infection, or trauma to the teeth or gums. If you are experiencing swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, please go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

If you’ve been anxiously awaiting the announcement – here it is! The fee for the take home whitening is normally $406, but in May the price is just $149 so give us a call to schedule!
Dental Fun Fact
Crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples and carrots can help clean your teeth naturally. Their fibrous texture stimulates gums and reduces plaque buildup.
