For today’s blog, Dr. McVey’s granddaughter, Lily, plays the doctor.

February is known as the month of love, Valentine’s Day, and President’s Day…

But did you know that February is also Children’s Dental Health Month? Well, it is! 

We could talk about all of the ways to prevent dental decay, how to properly brush your kids’ teeth, good dental habits, etc. But we’ve done that in past blog posts. This time around, we wanted to know what some of our patients had to say about those things, so we decided that we would reach out to our youngest patients and their parents to see what they have to say about what they like about visiting the dentist and the importance of dental health.

The Holiday season is upon us, along with its many traditions. Exchanging presents. Family gatherings. The annual office Christmas party. Singing Christmas carols. Gathering around the holiday feast. It’s that last tradition that I’d like to concentrate on. You can protect your dental health over the holidays while enjoying the rich foods, sweet treats, and indulgent drinks that accompany the festive meal.

Thanksgiving is approaching fast… 

so we thought that some of us from Dr. McVey’s office would write about the things that we’re thankful for this year.
