Our doctors are writers!

For many years our dental office published its own newsletter on paper, which was mailed to each patient household. You can see some examples pictured above. Our newsletter often featured artwork commissioned from young patients and it had a yearly joke contest which many patients competed in. It was lots of fun but when it came time to go electronic, we switched to dispensing information on our website, saving many trees from our hearty mailers.

This doesn’t mean that our doctors quit writing! Now you can read our doctors great articles right here on our website, and you can keep up with what’s new in the office on our blog, Facebook, and Twitter. All can be accessed easily through this website, see the buttons above. Not all dentists take such an educational approach with their patients. Dr. Presley-Nelson and Dr. Fung are well educated, keep up with the latest, and enjoy sharing their knowledge with their treasured Family of patients. Enjoy!
