Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, and we would like to wish all who are celebrating a very Happy Hanukkah!
"The proper response, as Hanukkah teaches, is not to curse the darkness but to light a candle." — Irving Greenberg
We know this year is unlike any other, but we hope that no matter what you celebrate that you can look not to the darkness but to the light and find some holiday happiness. 🕯️

We'd love to see pictures of your holiday decorations - share them with us in the comments below! 🎄
Whether you're traveling or staying Home (Alone) for the holidays, don't forget your toothbrush. As we tend to snack more (and often on sugary sweets) during the holidays, we're at a higher risk for decay, so be sure to brush brush brush!

What are your New Years Resolutions?
Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As we take time to reflect on the impact he made on not only America but on the the world, we also are all encouraged to live out Dr. King's values through service.
MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. We are proud to serve our community every day, and strive to work together to make a better tomorrow for everyone.
Happy Valentine's Day from our "Office" to you!

It's Dental Assistant Appreciation Week!
Here at our office we are thankful every day for our dental assistants, but this week especially we are making a point of celebrating and appreciating them for all they do not just for Doctor but for all of us. We appreciate you!
It's National Dentist's Day! Today is recognized as a day to show appreciation and thanks for your dentists, as well as to remind you to care for your teeth!
Our office is happy to celebrate our doctors - Dr. Korolyov & Dr. Makowski!
Ways we recommend celebrating include:
-Commit to better dental habits
-Raise awareness about the importance of dental health. This can be through teaching your kids a toothbrushing song or referring your friends & family to your dentist to improve their health
-If you're due for an appointment, schedule that checkup! The longer you wait, the worse your health gets
-and of course, SMILE!
Thank you for taking good care of your teeth & trusting our office with your dental care!
Has COVID affected your dental health without you realizing it? According to the ADA, more than 70% of dentists have seen an increase in stress-related conditions like teeth grinding, clenching, and TMD symptoms.
Additionally, remote working has gotten us out of our usual routines so we're snacking more, brushing later or less, and skipping flossing!
It's not too late to reverse the damage done in the past year. Now is the time to invest in improving your health - call us today to schedule any outstanding treatment or dental cleanings so you can have a healthier tomorrow!
