Whether you’ll be staying in town or traveling, we hope that you have a blessed and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday, filled with plenty of turkey, stuffing, and pie. Your oral health is important, but we want you to spend tomorrow enjoying yourself and the loved ones around you, not worrying about whether or not you should have that extra helping of this or that.

So while we don’t want you to forget about your teeth, we also don’t want you to think twice about indulging in that extra goodie. Enjoy it, and as you do, take a moment to consider all that you have to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Halloween Is the Perfect Time to Teach Your Little One about Brushing and Flossing

October 28, 2011

In about three days from now, the wait will be over—Halloween and all of its thrills will finally be here. That means costumes, of course, but more than that it means piles of candy.

Candy, of course, has a bad a reputation when it comes to teeth. As you’ve been told all your life, candy causes cavities. And it’s true. But while sugar can have a detrimental effect on oral health, where’s the harm in splurging now and then?

That’s why Dr. Michel and the rest of our team at Michel Dental would like to wish everyone a happy, safe, and fun Halloween.

But we’d also like to encourage you to use Monday as a time to reinforce the basics of good oral health. Brushing and flossing are essential to maintaining a healthy smile, and learning how to do each at a young age can go a long ways towards helping your little one develop healthy habits that will last well into adulthood.

Have any questions about how you can help your son or daughter learn to brush and floss? Feel free to give our Topeka office a call today. Dr. Michel and our team would be happy to answer any questions you might have or set up an appointment for you.

Stop Sleep Apnea with an Oasys Sleep Snoring Device from Dr. Michel

Do you catch yourself drifting off at work, even though you’re getting at least eight hours of sleep each night? Do you feel irritable or have trouble concentrating? Has your partner ever complained about your snoring?

All of these could indicate that you have a condition called sleep apnea, which, if left untreated, could increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other complications.

What Is Sleep Apnea?

Patients with sleep apnea have trouble breathing while they sleep. And by trouble, we mean that patients actually stop breathing for at least 10 or more seconds.

Sounds serious, doesn’t it?

Raising Money for Aldersgate through the Jeans and Jewels Benefit

September 30, 2011

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — tntadmin @ 7:21 pm

For close to 30 years, Dr. Michel and Michel Dental have been associated with Aldersgate Village.

Aldersgate Village is one of the largest retirement communities in Kansas and a member of the United Methodist Homes network. We have had the honor of serving the community together through a dental clinic we started with them. Run by Beth, one of our RDH’s, the clinic provides weekly dental care to residents of Aldersgate using donated equipment.

Recently, we had the opportunity to show our support for Aldersgate in another way. A special benefit called Jeans and Jewels was held at the downtown Ramada Inn. The purpose was to raise money for Aldergate’s new Recovery Center, which will be used to give residents of the retirement village and others within the community a place to recover after a long hospital stay. Money was raised through an auction and a silent auction.

It was a great event, and we’re happy to still be involved with such a great organization.

Call our Topeka office to find out more about our work with Aldersgate or to schedule your next appointment with us.
