“ag gag” bill veto

Sitting here in Hendersonville I just read the governor vetoed the “ag gag” bill.

I’m not even really sure what it is about, but I know facebook in Nashville has been going crazy over it. I guess public opinion really can matter.

22 degrees this morning in Hendersonville?

It is almost the April and it was 10 degrees below freezing this morning in Hendersonville according to my car thermometer.

I had shorts on last weekend, this weather is crazy. However, I do think the cold helps us to more fully appreciate the warm. Personally I cannot wait for summer. I just bought a new condo with a big pool, and I cannnot wait to use it. Have a great rest of the week.

We are Finishing up our 7th Dental Operatory Room at the big office!

So I finally gave in and am turning my personal office at the dental clinic into another treatment room.

This will give the Dentist side of the practice a 25% growth to do treatment without affecting the hygienist. I had been talking about doing it forever, but have just now gotten around to doing it. The contractor came in and pretty much did his part in a day. We got the equipment a couple of weeks ago. Everything is hooked up, and we are now just waiting on the cabinet and tv to go up.  Ital will be nice to have the extra overflow room to better serve our dental patients. Have a great week.

Rest in Peace to our friend/former patient Mindy Mcready

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Mindy Mcready

Such a sad event. I used to be pretty good friends with her 3 or 4 years ago. She always kind and nice to me.

Our heart goes out from hendersonville to those in Newton

Our hearts here in Hendersonville and Nashville, go out to those affected by the tragedy in Newton.

It is hard to understand how someone could do something like this, it is unthinkable. How someone could harm little children blows my mind. Our hearts go out to the parents that lost their children. I went to a funeral this weekend of a friend who lost his life in a car wreck last week.  Someone I was just with 3 days before he died, and the pain on the face of his mother was unbearable. No parent should have to go through that. Life is so delicate. Please keep all those parents in your thoughts and prayers.

hendersonville christmas parade

The hendersonville christmas parade was last night and everyone said it was a blast.

Next year hendersonville family dentistry will have a float in the parade, per my office manager. I personally did not get to go, but she said it was a blast, so next year we have commited to have a float. I haven’t done anything like this since college, so I am sure it will be fun. Hope everyone had a great weekend and god bless.

Election Day is here in Hendersonville

Its an election year, and the day to vote is finally here.

We are pretty glad that all the commercials are finally over. Who did everyone vote for? Honestly Im just glad that the economy hasnt tanked the way it has in some election year. I will admit our industry is a little nervous about  obamacare. Not sure if its going to be good or bad, but we dont really like not knowing. Personally I try to focus on things we have control over and not stress over things that we cannot change. Steven Covey calls it, focusing on your inner circle, where we have influence and control. Kinda smart I think. Have a great week

 

Huge day lined up at the office

We have a big country music star coming in today to get some work done!

I can’t say his name yet, but he is all over the radio. Hendersonville and Nashville are unique. Not to many places have this many musicians living locally. It really is like a little LA in some ways, minus all the paparazzi. I have been doing dentistry for a while now and things like this make it really cool some times. we have a very smoothly run office so I am sure every thing will run very smoothly. Hope everyone has a blessed day and doesn’t have any problems getting around in this nasty weather. Stay tuned for some dental advice coming up.

Our Veneers are getting stronger!

We are now able to make our dental veneers stronger with something called Emax.

Emax looks like porcelain but is much stronger! Ive been placing them on my patients for a while, and the results have been very positive. The material I used to use was called Empess. Empress is porcelain, which is very pretty but not that strong. The new Emax material is much much stronger and in my opinion looks just as good! We do losts of smile makeovers and veneers, probably as many as anyone in the area, and like I said they seem to be working much better, at least in my hands. If you ask 10 dentists the same question you will probably get 10 different answers, so this is just my opinion. Have a great sunday!
