Just wanted to share this one again as it’s so powerful in showing what’s possible. This is a really simple laser treatment to recon your the gums and expose more you for people who feel that they have a gummy smile or that their teeth are short. #gingivectomy #lasertreatment #laserdentistry #smallteeth #beautifulsmile #easypeasy

Did you know these different areas of the tongue give us clues about our health? And coatings or coloring can also tell us information. For instance, a patchy coating indicates antibiotic overuse! Thank you so much to Dr Stephanie @_ouchie for the amazing course she taught today on the acupuncturist’s approach to evaluating health. She said The tongue doesn’t lie! We are obsessed with learning at CFD! That’s what makes this job fun. Something new to share with our patients!

Happy Monday everyone. We hope our fantastic patients and community are a starting to recover from the madness of the fires. We know it isn’t over yet and there’s so much to rebuild for many. The skies are still smoky tonight but hopefully many of you are breathing well again. We send our well wishes and gratitude to you all! We are so proud to be a part of this resilient community.

Sending love to our community. We stand with you during this hard time and pray for our town and for our planet. Please let us know if you need anything at all. We would be so happy to give back to our beloved community during this incredibly difficult time. Art by Annie Galvin

I highly recommend this book! An excerpt: "People who say that this is a placebo effect don't understand that this is a biological function that you're taking control of... [I]f you can elicit such a strong response in a couple of minutes, imagine what you can do in a couple of days."... If you want to optimize your health and fitness or the health of your family... there's so much to be learned about proper breathing! Check out his website (link in bio) for a lot of great video tutorials.

Some tips on proper glove technique! Since we are all wearing PPE these days I thought it might be useful to share some play butterfly butterfly of the strategies we dentists and doctors and nurses have been using for years! Hope it helps you!
