Getting sick is never ideal. But it seems almost inevitable in the winter. Dr. Lee Brown has some advice on how to minimize your risk for the rest of the winter and the rest of the year, because let’s face it, you can get sick anytime if you’re not careful.
With the end of the year fast approaching, we know that a lot of our patients are starting to think about their health and longevity, including when it comes to their oral health. Because we are a dental office, patients often ask us for recommendations on the best dental products. We know that other medical professionals are also asked the same questions about diet and exercise. Dr. Brown is back to discuss this topic in the next installment of his vlog, “Dr. Brown Speaks the Tooth.” Click here to watch the video and learn more about dental and overall health.
At Brown and Gettings, DDS, we do more than handle your oral care. As you may know, our team is passionate about all aspects of your overall health. One area in particular we may discuss with you are your sleep habits and the quality of sleep you feel you may be getting each night. We are able to treat our patients who may be suffering from a common sleep condition known as sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a serious condition in which individuals stop breathing multiple times throughout the night. It occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat relax during sleep, blocking the airway and restricting your breathing. Dr. Gettings recently became a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, also known as AADSM. She took a few minutes to explain more about the seriousness of sleep apnea and a treatment option that our practice offers to help patients get the quality sleep they need. Click here to watch.
As you know, we truly care about your oral health as well as your overall health. We are diligent in checking your blood pressure, inspecting for issues such as oral cancer, checking your airways for signs of sleep apnea as well as other issues we want to be mindful of monitoring. We want our patients to live long and happy lives and make their health a priority. Dr. Brown is back with his next installment of Dr. Brown Speaks the Tooth, where he discusses the importance of putting yourself and your health first and simple changes you can make.

Experiencing a dental emergency is never fun, especially if it involves your front teeth. It can leave a patient feeling traumatized, upset and self-conscious. Your smile is a part of who you are. It allows you to show off your personality, display the confidence you have in yourself and helps you greet people and make them more comfortable in your presence. When your smile is compromised, it can be challenging to demonstrate the same confidence as before. Dr. Brown is back with another video installment, where he shares the story of a patient who had an unfortunate experience that affected his smile and how, by using smile simulation technology, he was able to get his smile back and better than before.
