Happy World Smile Day!! Two things that always make us smile are moms and pups! What about you?
A Friday note from Dr. J!
"People often forget that an infection in their mouth can lead to detrimental effects on the rest of their body. At Chaska Commons, we will always do a thorough exam, treatment, AND take the time to educate our patients on how they can improve their overall health through their oral health."
The weather is changing and before you know it, many of us will start to be indoors more often! As healthcare workers, we want to take a minute to remind everyone to wear a mask. It is a unique time and we need everyone's help to get our communities and our loved ones through this pandemic safely!

With heavy hearts, we remember the families, friends, and first responders who lost their lives as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks. We will never forget. #NeverForget
We're grateful for all of the essential workers out there who continue to support our communities during these uncertain times including our devoted staff. Happy Labor Day from our family to yours. #LaborDay #DentalER
This weekend we want to take a moment to recognize our incredibly hard-working team and the contributions they have made to our community.

February is American Heart Month, and we participated in today’s Wear Red Day to raise awareness for heart disease and educate people on just how connected your heart health is to your oral health.
Did you know?
1. Poor oral health can result in severe issues throughout the rest of your body! This is why it is important to stay up on your cleanings, gum treatments, and check-ups.
2. The more soft plaque you have, the greater your risk is of having a heart attack or stroke.
(American Heart Association 2013, Cedar-Sinai 2017, JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2014)
3. Studies show that 84% of people with cardiovascular disease have periodontal (gum) disease!
(ISR Cardiology Journals, 2013)
