Wild Chatham Teeth

Wild Chatham Teeth

Like your mouth, this whole county is filled with teeth.  These teeth, unlike your mouth's teeth, are probably unfilled.

Sometimes, kids can really suck.

We recommend getting rid of pacifiers and keeping thumbs.  Just try to stop putting the thumb into your mouth, particularly if it's not your own thumb.

Where's Alex?

Where's Alex?

You may have noticed that our beloved Dr. Alex hasn't been appearing in our recent staff photos.  She's been busy delivering her daughter, the stunning Lola Boudreau Creech, pictured below with her brother.  Mom and baby are both doing well, and Dr. Alex is planning on returning to the sunny pastures of CPD at the beginning of July.   

Well done, Alex.  High fives!

We're all running from something.

We're all running from something.

Chatham Pediatric Dentistry is completely delighted to sponsor the upcoming Willow Oak Montessori Spring Festival on April 29th.  It's an excellent opportunity to bounce, conquer obstacles, run anywhere from fun to five Ks, and support the school's mission to get a freestanding building.  

But what about schools that already have freestanding buildings?  Don't we care about them as well?  Darn straight we do.  We're equally excited to sponsor the critical third mile marker at this year's Perry Harrison Elementary School Run for the Mariners 5K and Obstacle Course.  Dr. Kevin can't even read the name of the event without unconsciously combining Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills" AND their version of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" into one perfect 1984 metal masterpiece.  

While we're out at these events, be on the lookout for our new patient shirts, featuring the world famous CPD logo on the back and words to live by on the front.  Try to imagine what it'd be like if the Risky Business version of Tom Cruise had a baby with the scientifically impossible offspring of David Bowie and Prince, then give that kid some authentic Frida eyebrows.  That's about 30% of how cool these shirts are.

My crew is so l337.

Update on Fighting Cavities

The docs at CPD are always on the lookout for the latest in the best ways to fight cavities.  We've started a video series to update parents and children on the best ways to help avoid trouble.

 

Dr. Kevin Ruins Another American Classic

Dr. Kevin, if nothing else, is a music aficionado. He's big on American classics, and he was pondering the old folk standard "Big Rock Candy Mountain."  He soon realized that in its original writing, the Big Rock Candy Mountain seems like a pretty sweet place if you're an alcoholic vagrant.  If you're one of the millions of kids who hear the watered down versions of the song, though, you're only really appreciating the Candy.  The Big Candy.  The Big Rock Candy.  Like all magical places, however, there are also dangers.

The Big Rock Candy Mountain, appealing as it may be, is also a place where smiles face challenging problems.
