Briana Garcia’s Quinceanera
She was gorgeous and elegant on Saturday March 21, 2009 when Briana celebrated her 15th birthday and her coming out celebration, Quinceanera. it was like yesterday when she first came with her father to our practice. We have watched her grown and turned to this great teenager. We celebrate the day with her and her family and trust she will understand the full implications of this great day. We celebrate Briana’s day with her and her lovely family.
Here are some pictures, isn’t she lovely? She gets free examination, dental x-ray if needed and teeth cleaning free, our contribution to the celebration. May her days and years be filled with happiness, may she continue to be a joy to her parents.
Briana Garcia Celebrates Quinceanera
On this Saturday, March 21, 2009, Briana Garcia celebrates Quinceanera. We hope to have some pictures for you. Join us in wishing her happy Quinceanera celebration and hoping that turning 15 years will be a blessing not just to her both to her parents and the rest of the family.
We salute her in her coming of age. This is a celebration for girls turning 15 in many Spanish-speaking countries, food, drinks and music as well as dance. Of course some include prayers and blessings from the priest, the parents and other well-wishers.
On March 21 in accordance with the spirit of Quinceanera, Briana becomes a woman. She will sit in front of the church for Mass in her white dress — sewn in her grandmother’s Cuban home town and will enjoy God’s blessings.
The priest will probably urge Briana to live as a daughter of God, of course she is a daughter of Almighty. Her parents, Michelle & rogers will most probably give her a gold ring shaped like the number 15. Near the end of the service, She will lay a bouquet of roses before a statue of the Virgin Mary. Life is good and the celebration begins after the church service.
It will be a blast! brianaquinceanera


Found a local hat maker right here in the South
I thought you might want to check this company out. It makes reasonably priced hats and it may even throw free shipping with it. I did. You can have your logo embroidered on the caps for free. If you have been wanting to do some promotions for your business and you are on low budget like me, I encourage you to check this company up. I like their layouts, ease of uploading and placing order. Cool!

Where the Teeth Bite* from Men’s Health
![]() |
Check out Men’s Health’s Interactive Map of Where the Teeth Bite |
Our analysis includes stats from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the number of people who visit their dentists for annual checkups, the number of no-shows whose choppers are dropping out, and the number of households with fluoride on tap. And since warding off gum disease is key to keeping your smile, we also factored in who’s flossing, from Mediamark Research. When the computer spit out the results, it became clear that some drilling is needed in Texas, and we don’t mean for oil.
The Acid Bath
On the surface it makes sense: Brush your teeth after breakfast. Problem is, cereal, bananas, and OJ are acidic, and if you eat them and then brush right away, you’ll remove some of the temporarily softened tooth enamel. The remedy? Wait 20 minutes before you brush, says David Bartlett, B.D.S., Ph.D., a British expert on dental erosion.
Scan for Stroke
After your dentist checks for cavities, ask him to eyeball your arteries. The panoramic dental x-ray not only offers a 180-degree window into your oral health, but also reveals whether the other plaque is piling up in your carotid arteries—plaque that might otherwise go undetected until you stroke out. Unfortunately, only 10 percent of dentists bother to look. “Many dentists miss the bigger picture of health,” says Laurie Carter, D.D.S., Ph.D., president of the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology. Nudge your dentist to examine your x-ray. If he sees anything suspicious, ask him to send the film to your physician.

Dental Examiner for April 2008
APRIL MYTH:
When a baby tooth falls out, a child is expected to put the tooth under his/her pillow. It is believed by children that a tooth fairy would come up in the night while the child is sleeping to “steal” the tooth away and would leave some money under the pillow. Of course, there is no such person but children do find money under their pillows. Who has been leaving money under the pillow? It is not a tooth -fairy. No pixie, just we parents doing the placement and we love doing that anyway!
