2026’s first face behind the mask is no other than Dr. Bryan Medaris, one of our talented dentists and proud co-owners of Gentle Dental Care!

When asked what inspired him to become a dentist, he shared: “I always had a strong interest in science and working with my hands to fix things. Dentistry has given me the ability to do both each day.”

Fact Friday!! 💡

-If you are right handed, you tend to chew on your right side and vice versa for lefties.

This means you may have more wear and tear to your dominant sided teeth, as well as more tartar and plaque to these areas. This is a helpful tip for where you should spend extra time focusing on with homecare!
