Don’t brush your teeth right after eating!

It may sound counterintuitive, but your tooth enamel is generally soften and more prone to damage after you eat—especially if you’ve had acidic foods like soda, coffee, tomatoes, or citrus fruit.

Instead, wait at least an hour after eating to brush.

Vitamin D is just as crucial to bone health as calcium!

The best foods to help add some vitamin D into your diet include eggs, salmon, red meat, mushrooms, and fortified orange juice.

We believe that patients receive better care when they have a voice in their healthcare.

A healthy diet includes fats! And olive oil is the healthiest fat out there. It contains antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and monounsaturated fats that reduce cholesterol and regulate insulin.

Skincare is healthcare! To keep your complexion healthy during the cold, dry months, it’s important to moisturize, stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and practice good hygiene.

While that long hot shower might be tempting during the winter, it can actually be bad for your skin in the long run by stripping away your complexion’s natural protective oils

How do we achieve these outcomes? We start by listening to patients and their needs. Next, we focus on connecting patients to other local organizations.

And we take a community-specific approach to both preventative care and health education.
