Keep two pieces of paper in your pockets at all times. One says "I am a
speck of dust," and the other, "The world was created for me."

P.S.: Neither is true and both are true. #MotivationMonday

Have a great weekend. Columbus Day is on Monday - a federal holiday. It's interesting how Columbus Day has evolved. Some states are moving to replace it with "Indigenous Peoples Day." Here is how CD became a thing .... https://t.co/Fddtqk0LLu

"They are so quick! You come in, sign in, sit down and in just a couple minutes your name is called. They do their thing and you're out of there in no time! Everyone is so friendly and always smiling (lovely teeth). You just want to hug them." ~Katie M. #TestimonialTuesday

IMMORAL TO ONLY COMPLAIN

Is it not immoral to complain and denounce and deprecate without ever praising? Is it immoral to compulsively criticize without also identifying—at least now and then—what's working well?

"They never stabbed my gums with their pointy TOOLS.
They're always very kind and ask about my day and SCHOOL.
They always give me some Advil (very helpful because I never have any in the CAR).
Pitner orthodontics is giving me the smile of a ... movie STAR!" ~ Reagan T.

[Pitner Orthodontics @pitnersmilebig]

Your imagination is the single most important asset you possess. It's your
power to create mental pictures of things that don't exist yet and that you
want to bring into being. It shapes your future. Be careful how you use it.

We are seeing more patients who come to us after trying at-home aligner companies. The reason we don't recommend those companies is because they do a poor job of diagnosis and their supervision through the process is NONEXISTENT. We recommend Invisalign.

Did you hear about the boy in India who had hundreds of teeth? They were part of a tumor. Last month, doctors surgically removed the growth and sliced it open. They found a sac with 526 tiny teeth inside, like a fleshy, overstuffed coin purse. Eeeek! https://t.co/bJxbY5Ur7I

Hey girl. Hey boy. You think you seen it all? Well, drop the attitude. 'Cause you ain't seen nothin' yet. Did you know that fish can sing like birds? Mmhmm (*folding arms and judging you*) #MotivationMonday https://t.co/JTwhXl4rs9

More on fluoride .... While it's clearly important for preventing cavities, one study that made the news recently suggests evidence that fluoride during pregnancy can lower a child's IQ. Keep in mind, this is only ONE study. More research is needed. https://t.co/0txXlGOOfp
