Happy Pedodontist Day! 👶🦷
WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU DR. MERKLEY & Dr. SCHOOLMAN

What exactly is a Pedodontist ?
A pedodontist specializes in kids’ dentistry—preventing cavities, guiding growth, and building lifelong healthy habits. Thank you for protecting growing smiles!

How is a Pedodontist different from a Pediatric dentist you ask??They’re actually the same thing. 😊
Pedodontist is the older or more technical term.
Pediatric dentist is the modern, commonly used name.
Both refer to dentists who receive specialized training (usually 2–3 additional years) after dental school to care for infants, children, and adolescents, including those with special health care needs.

DID YOU KNOW????
🪥✨ Brushing vs. Flossing – Why You Need Both! ✨🦷

Did you know that brushing alone misses up to 40% of your tooth surfaces? 😱 That’s almost half your mouth left uncleaned!
Your toothbrush does a great job cleaning the outer surfaces of your teeth, but it can’t reach between them — and that’s where plaque and bacteria love to hide. 🦠

That’s why flossing is just as important as brushing. Flossing removes the buildup between your teeth and along the gumline, helping prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. 👏
So next time you brush, don’t skip the floss! Your smile (and Dr. Merkley) will thank you 😁💙
