Smiles & Warmth Drive

We’re collecting items for our unhoused and low-income neighbors this season, and every donation will be hand delivered by Alexis during her shifts at the Supper Club (a volunteer-run group that provides meals and support to people in need).

If you’d like to help contribute, our donation box is set up in the waiting room. Thank you for helping us support our community.

It is with great sadness that I share the passing of Dr. Phil Gallaher. Uncle Phil was a great man, friend and mentor. He loved his patients and coworkers, many of whom ask about him to this day, 18 years after his retirement. He was a true artist and was renowned for his painless injections, gentle touch, and sense of humor.

"Epitaph on My Own Friend" by Robert Burns

An honest man here lies at rest,
As e'er God with His image blest:
The friend of man, the friend of truth;
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so inform'd:
If there's another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.

Our hygienist, Lee, was wondering if aliens had teeth.
We asked AI.
The short answer is: we have no scientific evidence that aliens exist, let alone what their anatomy is like - including whether or not they have teeth.

If we assume alien life evolved under conditions similar to Earth, and if they consume solid food, then it's plausible they might have some kind of tooth-like structures for breaking it down - though they could look wildly different from our teeth. Think: beaks, grinding plates, crystal-like enamel, or even regenerating rows of fangs like sharks.

On the flip side, if they consume nutrients in liquid form, photosynthesize, or absorb energy through their skin or goo membrane or something...no teeth necessary.

So, do aliens have teeth? Maybe.
Are they overdue for a cleaning? Almost definitely.

If your last cleaning was lightyears ago, it’s time to phone home (aka our front desk) and schedule that appointment.
