Randi White is a valued dental hygienist here at S&G; some of you may know her 10 year old son Hayden is battling a rare form Osteosarcoma, a bone cancer. He was diagnosed in May, and in July required full amputation of his right leg. He is just beginning Chemotherapy for the second time and the family is in full fight mode! They are a wonderful young family from Osawatomie, Kansas. Hayden is the oldest of their 3 children; they are also raising Taylor, a darling 4 year old princess, as well as a new baby girl Kaleigh only 4 months old, born just before the diagnosis.

S&G is organizing the bleaching fundraiser Saturday October 1st to help support the family’s growing needs. By reservation, Saturday October 1st from 10:00am to 2:00pm we will offer custom made upper and lower dental bleaching trays for a minimum donation of $100, with the proceeds going to help the family. This is an amazing savings for anyone who has ever considered whitening, over $230 in savings! This offer is open to anyone, not just current patients (although we love new patients). We will take the impressions and go over bleaching instructions on Saturday, and the trays themselves will be available for pick up later that day and for some the next week .

If you are interested in coming to this event please contact Brenda at S&G though email at info@sandgfamilydentistry.com or call our office 913-451-2929 and please tell all your friends & family! We hope to see you there!

Dr. Grosdidier just returned from another weekend of continuing education focusing on SLEEP APNEA.  The statistics that link sleep apnea to other major health issues are alarming.  If you have concerns regarding sleep apnea feel free to call the office at any time, or talk to Dr. Lynne or Dr. Grosdidier at your next visit.

Baseball and Softball season are in full swing!!!  Don’t forget to protect your mouth and jaw when you or your child are playing these sports.  Unfortunately our office has seen some very serious injuries from players who have not protected their face and mouth.  It is much easier to prevent than to repair when it comes to these kinds of injuries.  Batters should wear helmets with a face guard, and infielders should consider wearing an infielders mask.  At a minimum, all players should wear a mouthguard.  We believe custom made mouth guards protect significantly better than over the counter ones and are much more comfortable.  If you have any questions about mouth guards, please contact the office!

Summer is right around the corner...and will be over before you know it!  It is always a good idea to get your summer cleanings on the calendar early.  Don’t be caught scrambling at the end of the summer to get you and your children scheduled.  We look forward to seeing you and your family!

Dr. Grosdidier attended a continuing education course titled, The Dentist’s Role in Snoring and Sleep Apnea in Washington DC this past weekend.  This area of study is relatively new to the dental field, and Dr. Grosdidier is learning new and cutting edge techniques to help people who suffer from these conditions.  Dentists who specialize in this area work closely with other healthcare professionals such as pulmonogists, family care physicians, and ENTs.  The dentist’s role is to provide oral appliances to those patients who are suffering from mild to moderate sleep apnea, and possibly to those who cannot tolerate a CPAP machine.  Research has taught us that snoring and sleep apnea are positively correlated with cardiovascular disease, the number two cause of death  in North America.  Daytime sleepiness, heartburn, earaches, gasping and choking at night, personality change, frequent awakenings, reflux, teeth grinding, depression, morning headaches, lack of energy, and loss of memory are all other conditions highly linked to sleep apnea and snoring.  

 

If you or anyone you know is interested in learning more about snoring and sleep apnea, please contact our office or talk to the Doctors at your next visit.
