The number of people who have lost a tooth or multiple teeth may surprise you. About 69% of adults aged 35-44 have lost at least one permanent tooth and 26% of adults over the age of 74 have lost all permanent teeth.

Did you know? Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in your body! It covers the outer layer of each tooth and is the most visible part of the tooth. The enamel is made up mostly of minerals, primarily hydroxyapatite.

The AIP team had a great time at The Tasting Room last Thursday for happy hour! The evening was hosted by their BioHorizons rep, Joe Lamont.

The practice was excited to celebrate Jerrica’s 30th Birthday with lots of decorations and gifts! We are proud to have her on our team and hope she enjoys her special day!

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend! The AIP team enjoyed their holiday at Dr. Towe’s annual 4th of July party! One of our referring doctors, Dr. LeMonnier, was able to attend and take a quick picture with the ladies.

Our practice would like to welcome Jessica to our team! She is our new dental hygienist and we are very excited to have her with us. We look forward to working with Jess at Advanced Implants and Periodontics!

Some of the AIP ladies took a Girl’s Trip this weekend to Florida for some sun, fun, and relaxation! They created many great memories and are very excited to plan another trip in the future!

Brushing too hard and too frequently can cause gum recession. One might think that the more they brush their teeth, the better their oral health is. However, this notion is wrong. Brushing too frequently can actually do damage to your gums, causing irritation and recession. Treat your gums the best by brushing every morning and night for two minutes each time.

We are proud to recognize a milestone for two of our team members this week! Our Surgical Assistant, Janet, has been with our practice for two years and our Billing Coordinator, Jerrica, is celebrating one year with the practice. We want to congratulate these ladies for their hard work every day and thank them for all they do for the practice and our patients.  We look forward to celebrating many more years together!

The AIP team enjoyed a fun night out together at Pistarro’s in Frederick! They were joined by Jason who sponsored the event.  Everyone dined on delicious pizza and drinks. The whole group had a wonderful evening and are anticipating their next Happy Hour!
