Ollis/Akers/Arney always puts on a great event during their Annual Wellness Conference - and number 17 is a wrap! We were happy to be able to be there and meet with many of the attendees who stopped by our booth and also meet with speaker, Stella Grizont, who shared useful insight into "The Work Happiness Method." She even signed a couple copies of her book for us (thank you so much) - we had a great time! #workhappinessmethod #workhappiness #wellnessconference

A bad fall, an injury in a game, or biting down the wrong way on something are just a few things that could lead to a damaged or knocked-out tooth. 🦷 The best person to see in these cases (after getting emergency treatment for any dangerous injuries) is the endodontist. The most effective treatment for an injured tooth depends on the severity of the crack or chip in it. If the tooth only has a fractured crown, it can usually be repaired. Sometimes, it will take root canal treatment and a crown to restore the function of a broken molar. If the tooth splits down to the root, it may need to be pulled. A tooth that has been knocked out of place or pushed deeper into its socket may require root canal treatment, but it is often possible to reposition and stabilize it. For a tooth that is knocked out completely, the faster we can treat it after the accident, the better the chances are that the tooth can be successfully replanted. Do not touch the root of a knocked-out tooth or attempt to clean it, because this will kill the root and make replanting impossible. Store it in the socket or a glass of milk if that's not possible. 🥛 To replant it, the dentist will use a stabilizing splint to keep it steady while it heals. While it is good to know that if you do lose a permanent tooth due to accident or injury, dental implants offer a reliable restorative option to replace a tooth root that is missing, the ideal dental injury situation is that you can get to the dentist within minutes after the injury occurs and hopefully save your tooth. In the meantime, take over-the-counter pain medication, drink cold fluids, and bite down on clean, moist gauze. 👍 #KnockedOutTooth #DamagedTooth #DentalInjury

We had a fantastic office meeting this week with special inspirational guest speaker, Dan Meers, KC Chiefs Mascot AK.A "KC Wolf!" Dan shared his "Why" of being a professional mascot for the past several decades through humorous and touching personal life stories. It was both a hilarious and truly inspiring story of living your life with purpose through service to others. We are so appreciative to have been able to host KC Wolf in our office - it was certainly a day full of smiles and being reminded of our own purpose in service to our community through excellence in patient care. We will certainly be cheering for Dan, KC Wolf and the Chiefs through the upcoming season! #teams #dentalteams #whatsyourwhy
