Sweet as the holidays may be, sugar-packed treats can wreak havoc on your pearly whites. This season, ring in the festivities with healthy and fun holiday snack options that fill your mouth with joy.

Egg Snowmen

These adorable snowmen - made with hard-boiled eggs, carrots and peppercorns - will melt your heart before melting in your mouth. Eggs are a source of Vitamin D, which is needed to help absorb, carry and deposit calcium in the bone that supports your teeth. Carrots - which are crunchy, firm and full of water - help to scrub your teeth clean like a natural toothbrush.

Spinach Artichoke Frittata Trees











You won’t need to cut down on these trees! Dairy products like milk contain calcium, eggs are a source of Vitamin D and leafy greens like spinach are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. (Just be sure to floss before flashing a smile beneath the mistletoe!)

General Dentistry

"Wellness Care" is a term we use in our practice to describe the value of learning the necessary steps that can be taken to prevent bigger health issues from occurring. Like any dental office, we can get your teeth and gums healthy and repair any existing damage. But we go even further and teach you how to circumvent dental problems before they become huge issues. We begin with a systematic examination. Most of our patients claim they've never experienced such an all-encompassing examination of their gums or teeth before. We scrutinize your bite and how your teeth fit together, we inspect for oral cancer, gum disease, and indications of wear on your teeth, searching out any issue that might create difficulties for you later. We truly desire to head off problems and make your teeth and gums healthier, so you will occupy less time in the dental chair!
