May 15, 2023

There are many aspects of daily life that can be stressful.

Then, we grow up, and realize the sad truth, that being an adult means having way more responsibilities than we could have imagined. Jobs, finances, medical issues, family matters, and more increase daily stress. High stress can not only damage your overall health but your oral health as well.

i was pleasantly surprised by this office, it was happy and friendly, and i was offered dental services in a timely manner. Everywhere else i went was 3 to 6 months for a filling or a crown, and i would need a referral to a different office from someone outside my network. i am happy i found this practice.
