Happy Tuesday! Dr. G here.

My days have never been just about appointments — and they never will be.

They’re about those little moments that remind me why this work matters. The Gator chomps, the big smiles, the shared laughs — those are the things that stick with me long after the chairs are empty for the day.

Today, this rockstar patient reminded me — once again — why I LOVE what I do. Every chomp, every grin, every laugh is proof that what we build here goes way beyond straight teeth. It’s about confidence, connection, and creating a space where people feel celebrated.

Here’s to more smiles, more laughs, and a whole lot more chomps. Who else is practicing their game-day Gator chomp? 🐊

Happy Wednesday, Dr. G here!

Did you know that misaligned teeth can sometimes make it harder to speak clearly for adults and kids alike? 🗣️

Things like lisps, whistling, mumbling, or even slurring can all be connected to how your teeth and tongue work together.

The good news? Orthodontic treatment can often help correct those issues—improving not just your smile, but also your confidence when you speak.

✨ Your smile is powerful, but so is your voice. Don’t let misalignments hold either one back.

Happy Monday, friends! Dr. G here 👋

Here’s a fun fact for you: in North America, we buy more than 3 million miles of dental floss every year. For perspective—that’s enough to go to the moon and back six times! 🌙🚀

It’s recommended to use about 18” of floss each day… which adds up to the height of the Washington Monument every year per person. Pretty wild, right?

Of course, with water flossers becoming more popular, some of that string is being swapped for streams. So tell me—👇
Are you Team Traditional Floss or Team Water Flosser?

Either way, I’m proud of you for keeping those smiles FLOSSOME 😁

P.S. If you have braces, using a combo of both traditional and water flossing, is the winning choice 😄

🌟 Mentorship Matters 🌟

One of the biggest blessings in my career has been the opportunity to not only create smiles for patients, but also to pour into the next generation of orthodontists.

Recently, I had the privilege of welcoming Dr. Kate O’Donnell into the office to shadow me for the day. She came eager to learn, asked great questions, and brought such a positive energy. It was fun to share not only the clinical side of orthodontics, but also how we care for patients and run the practice as a team.

Dr. Kate later surprised me with this thoughtful note, and I have to say—it meant the world. Moments like this remind me that mentorship matters. Just as I’ve been blessed with teachers and mentors who guided me, I want to do the same for young doctors who will go on to make their own impact.

Kate, thank you for your kind words—and I can’t wait to see all the incredible things you’ll accomplish. I’m cheering you on every step of the way!

❤️ Saving Smiles & Saving Lives ❤️

Happy Monday!

Did you know? For more than 30 years, Dr. G has been committed not just to building healthy, confident smiles—but also to helping keep our community safe through CPR recertifications.

👉 Over 5,000 certifications (and counting!) have been completed under his guidance.

👉 That means thousands of healthcare professionals, teachers, and community members prepared to step in when it matters most.

👉 And yes, he makes even CPR training a little less stressful—with encouragement, laughter, and his signature Dr. G energy.

Here’s a peek at our most recent session—proof that when knowledge meets teamwork, lives are better protected 😎💪

🚌🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL: Part 3 🍎✏️

“Play Hard. Protect Your Smile.”

Sports are back in full swing, and whether your student plays football, soccer, basketball, or even cheer—a mouthguard is a must for anyone with braces or Invisalign.

Here’s why Dr. G is a big fan of them:
🛡 Protection – Mouthguards shield teeth, brackets, and lips from injury.
😬 Comfort – They help prevent cuts or irritation from braces during contact.
🏆 Confidence – When your child knows their smile is safe, they can focus on their game.

Pro Tip: A custom-fit orthodontic mouthguard offers the best comfort and protection—especially for kids in active treatment. Store-bought ones are good, but they don’t always fit well over braces.

📞 Want to get one made for your athlete? Call us at 863-382-2108 and we’ll make sure they’re game-day ready.

Because nothing should sideline their smile journey! 🏈⚽🏀

🚌🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL: Part 2 🍎✏️

“Snack Smart” for Braces Success

School lunches and snacks are part of the fun—but when you have braces, not all foods are smile-friendly.

Here’s the scoop from Dr. G:
🚫 Skip: Sticky, chewy, or super hard foods (think caramel, gum, hard candy, popcorn, nuts). They can damage brackets or get stuck in tricky spots.
✅ Yes Please: Soft, braces-friendly snacks like cheese sticks, yogurt, apple slices (cut up), grapes, bananas, or a soft granola bar.

Pro Tip: Pack a small, reusable water bottle so your child can rinse after eating. It’s a quick way to keep things fresh until they can brush.

Little changes = big results when it comes to keeping smiles healthy and on track.

🚌🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL: Part 1 🍎✏️

This week is all about new backpacks, fresh pencils, and for many of our G-Fam kids… and heading back to school with braces!

We know how important it is for our students to feel confident, comfortable, and ready for anything their smile journey throws their way. So today, we’re sharing one of our favorite tips for a successful school year with braces:

👉 Make a Braces Care Kit for their backpack or locker.

It’s a simple way to set your child up for success and keep them smiling through the school day.

Here’s what we recommend including:
🪥 Soft-bristled toothbrush
🦷 Fluoride toothpaste
🧵 Dental floss
🛡️ Dental wax
💄 Lip balm
🌀 Extra elastics (if they’re in that stage of treatment)

Why it matters:
✔️ Brackets and wires love to “hold onto” food—brushing after lunch helps keep their smile clean and healthy.
✔️ Dental wax can ease irritation from brackets or wires, helping your child focus on class instead of discomfort.
✔️ Lip balm helps combat dryness—especially in those first few weeks of braces when everything is still new.

And remember—if your child ever has discomfort or damage to a bracket/wire, we’re just a call away. We’ll get them in ASAP because their comfort is always our top priority.

Here’s to a smooth, confident, and smile-filled school year!

🍎 🍏 Happy First Day of School, Hardee & DeSoto!

📚 From my heart to yours—Happy First Day of School, Highlands & Polk!

To our amazing students—today isn’t just about new classes or fresh notebooks. It’s about the adventures you’ll have, the friendships you’ll build, and the moments that will shape who you are becoming.

To the parents—this morning might have been a mix of excitement and maybe a lump in your throat as you waved goodbye. You’re doing an incredible job, and your kids feel your love in every packed lunch, every homework reminder, and every “you’ve got this” pep talk.

To the teachers and staff—you’re the guiding hands and hearts that pour into our kids daily, and I’m so grateful for all you do.

Here’s to a school year full of growth, kindness, and smiles (you knew I had to say it 😉). You’ve got this—we’re rooting for you every step of the way.

Happy Thursday! Dr. G here.

I am getting absolutely SPOILED by some of our friends/patients this week!!! 🧡💙

This might just be one of the coolest surprises I’ve ever received!

A custom Dr. G figure — complete with my scrubs, signature hair, gloves, and even my trusty loupes — AND a pair of Gator socks to keep me stepping in style. 🐊🧦

Huge thank you to Nancy Rodriguez and Noey DeSantiago who made this happen. Your thoughtfulness, creativity, and attention to detail blew me away. Every time I see this little guy on my desk, I can’t help but smile (and maybe give it a nod or two 😉).

It’s gifts like this that remind me how lucky I am to do what I do, surrounded by such an incredible community. From the bottom of my heart — thank you! 🙌

🐊🧡 A GATOR-SIZED THANK YOU 💙🐊

Hey friends, Dr. G here.

Y’all already know I loves three things:
📣 Creating confident smiles
📣 His amazing patients
📣 And of course… the FLORIDA GATORS!

So you can imagine my jaw-dropping excitement when I received these custom Gator boots from our sweet friends at Pure Grit Boot Company and the incredible Tracy MacCornack.

Whether I’m in the office or out and about, I will be officially stomping around in serious style—and with a whole lot of Gator pride.

Thank you, Pure Grit and Tracy, for this one-of-a-kind gift. You knocked it out of the swamp with this one. 🧡💙
