Who knew the dentist could be sooo much fun!?

Nixon had his first dental visit with his Auntie Nicole (one of our favorite tour guides).  The look on his face is priceless!  I think he likes the dentist!

Choose Healthy Snacks this summer!

Avoid Food that is high in sugar or starch. While children and adolescents need diets that provide them with lots of energy, this doesn’t mean that they should consume soft drinks and high sugar snacks throughout the day. Food that is high in sugar or starch (especially sticky foods), hard candies, soft drinks, fruit juices, cookies, pies, cakes and potato chips are linked to higher levels of cavity-causing bacteria. They can lead to cavities because they react with bacteria on the teeth to produce acids that eat away tooth enamel.
