Smart “Real Food” Snack List

We were lucky to help with a fundraiser with Stallings Elementary’s PTO drive.   We are donating  a snack container for each family that participates.  Our goal is to help families give healthy ‘real food’ snacks in these containers each day for school.  We see first hand the effects of unhealthy food choices….soda, candy, gummy treats, etc. [...]

The beautiful dog in these photos  is none other than Forrest & Forrest’s very own Derby dog.  One of the many things we enjoy about practicing in a small community is how well we get to know our patients and neighbors.  Caring Heart’s Animal Hospital (located in our shopping center) had a Pups and Suds [...]

Do As I Say, Not As I Do

Yes…those are my children eating cotton candy in the photo.  And yes, I am a dentist.  So what is the rational behind allowing my children to eat pure sugar….pure exhaustion!  We went to see the Charlotte Knight’s baseball game a few weeks ago.  Baseball games are long enough but this one went into extra innings.  [...]

Gum Disease and Diabetes

Research has emerged that suggests that the [...]
