Before the ghosts and goblins head to bed, make sure those little teeth get a good scrub! 👻 🪥 A quick two-minute brush helps stop the “candy creepies” from sticking around ’til morning.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder of how powerful early detection can be — and how important it is to care for the whole body during treatment, including the mouth.

Cancer care doesn’t stop at the oncologist’s office. Because treatment can affect oral health, supportive dental care before, during, and after treatment plays a meaningful role in comfort and healing.

Whether you’re in treatment, in remission, supporting a loved one, or remembering someone close to your heart — we’re thinking of you. You are seen, you are supported, and you’re not alone. 🩷

"They say you miss 100% of the smiles you don’t take care of." – Michael Scott (probably)

We couldn’t resist channeling our inner Michael Scott for a double Boss’s Day post — because honestly, we do have the World’s Best Boss. 💙

They say you can’t buy happiness… but you can buy coffee for your boss — and that’s kind of the same thing! ☕ 😉

Happy Boss’s Day, Dr. U! Thanks for leading with laughter, heart, and a smile that’s always rooted in kindness.
