In honor of World SMILE day (yes that’s a thing!) we are sharing our new favorite smile out on the lakes!!

Did you know that research shows that children smile an average of 400 times per day, compared to the average happy adult who smiles 40-50 times per day and the typical adult who smiles only 20 times per day. We hope that your smile is the source of your JOY! 😁

All of our “docs!!” Doc Kellogg, Doc Bechtel & Doc Jr.
(Who’s the most requested to see, you ask!? Definitely the soft, furry, black and white one in the middle!) 😉

It’s National Dog Day!!! Sharing more pics of our favorite Dental Dog, Doc!! He had another busy and productive week of work! Check out some of his new skilllzzz!! 🐶❤️

Last week we had to say goodbye to our two All-Star Jackson Area Career Center students! Darian and Ileah, both had an interest in dental hygiene and spent the year learning and developing in our office! They were amazing students and coworkers and have truly grown and excelled both technically and behaviorally! They are both headed to Ferris State University this week to start their education in dental hygiene. We are SO proud! Good Luck Ileah and Darian!! You will be misssed!! 👩🏻‍🎓🎓🦷🪥

Introducing our newest hire, “Doc!” Doc is a mini bernedoodle and will grow to be about 30 lbs! Although this was his first week of “work,” Doc is already showing us that he is going to be a great therapy dog for those patients who are interested in a little extra doggie comfort in our office!! He is sweet and cuddly, loves attention — but is still sleeping a lot on the job! 😝
Bernedoodles are hypoallergenic and do not shed and are know for their loving temperaments, intelligence and loyalty — thus making great service animals!! Be sure to say hello 👋 to Doc next time you are in the office! We are all so in love with him already! 🐶
