Gum disease is sneaky. 🕵️‍♀️🦷
It often isn’t painful, so people don’t know it’s happening until it’s advanced.

Why it goes unnoticed:
✅ Starts mild
✅ Progresses slowly
✅ Bleeding can be missed or masked (especially with smoking)

Watch for these signs instead:
• Bleeding brushing/flossing
• Bad breath that won’t quit
• Receding gums
• Puffy gums
• Loose teeth

Early detection = easier treatment + better results. 💙

Honored to host Dr. Cody Bertoch last night (Endodontist) as our special guest speaker at Dr. Britten’s Study Club!

Even better, Dr. Britten and Dr. Cody go way back as family friends, and their dads were best friends and dentists, too. Talk about a legacy of dentistry.

Thanks for a great evening, Dr. Cody!

Happy 29th Work Anniversary, Michelle! 🎉Today we’re celebrating Michelle, our office manager and longest-tenured employee. She started with Dr. Stephen Kobernick in 1997 and has been with Dr. Britten’s practice since 2014. Michelle keeps things organized, running smoothly, and moving in the right direction, and we truly appreciate all she does.

We celebrated with angel food cake made by Jennifer and Judy’s amazing raspberry magic topping, which was the perfect treat for the occasion. 😄

Congratulations, Michelle, on 29 years of dedication and leadership! 👏

🚭🦷 Smoking and Gum Disease: What You Need to Know

If you smoke (ci******es, ci**rs, va**ng, chewing to***co), your gums are working overtime, and not in a good way. To***co use is one of the biggest risk factors for gum disease, and it can make problems harder to spot and harder to treat.

Here’s what patients should know:

✅ Smoking can hide gum disease.
It reduces blood flow, so your gums may not bleed even when there’s an infection. No bleeding doesn’t always mean “all good.”

✅ It speeds up damage.
Smoking helps harmful bacteria thrive and weakens your body’s ability to fight infection, which can lead to bone loss and tooth loss faster.

✅ Healing is slower.
Whether it’s deep cleanings, gum therapy, or implants, smokers typically heal more slowly and have a higher risk of complications.

✅ Bad breath is the bonus nobody asked for.
To***co + gum infection = stubborn bad breath that mouthwash can’t fix.

💡 The good news: Quitting helps, and it’s never “too late” to improve your gum health. Even cutting back can make treatment more effective.

If you’re worried about your gums (or it’s been a while since your last visit), we’re here to help with a clear plan and zero judgment. 💙
