Ask The Doc........
Tomorrow's Leadersby Dr. Gary Williams, DMD
garywilliamsdmd.com Well, it’s that time again! In most North American homes, the count-down is on for the beginning of a new school year. It always gets me thinking about the great sampling of people we see in our dental office. From newborns to 90-somethings. Last week someone asked me the question, “looking in the mouths of many 40 and 50 year-olds, what could have been different if health was addressed when they were, say…15 years old? The answer is a resounding, a lot! We realize that we do have the opportunity and know-how to change the health future for today’s school kids. In the year 2014 we have the advantage of all the research, learning, and yes, mistakes that have been made by humans, to learn from. And what does that information say? Step in early (school age), and maximize every variable for success. Dentistry knows how to achieve a successful long-term outcome. Once dentistry, parents and children comply; we can change the future of your family’s overall health, for the better. Call a Dental Professional today, and change your future.
