Redheads really aren't crazy!

Are you a redhead? Do your palms sweat with the thought of a visit to the dentist? You actually might have good reason to be a bit nervous. Those natural redheads may really require more anesthetic. Take a look at this article from the New York Times, The Pain of being a Redhead or this one from "How Stuff Works," Redheads and anesthesia.

Congratulations Dr. Anderson!

We are so very, very proud of our daughter, Erin Brosy Anderson. She received her Doctor of Dental Medicine from UNLV's School of Dentistry this past weekend, and will be joining our practice in July. Congratulations Dr. Anderson!

Graduations Past and Present

We're so very proud of our daughter, Erin, who is graduating next week with her Doctor of Medical Dentistry degree from UNLV School of Dental Medicine. We've been recalling our own graduation over 30 years ago from Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland. Dr. Paul has a great mustache, no?

Did I say we LOVE babies?!

Congratulations to Jill, one of our fantastic dental hygienists and her family as they welcome baby boy Jameson Jett. We're so excited and happy for them.

2014 Sabbatical

After four years of college and four more in dental school, I am done with first day of school, midterm exams, and final papers. While I know my educational path will continue to evolve and expand I am very excited to be done with school. Graduation is not until May, and I won't have my license until July. Therefore the only logical thing to do with these two months is to take a sabbatical. I looked up sabbatical in Wikipedia and the web geniuses say it can last from two months to two years. I feel like my time frame just squeaked into the correct definition. A lot of people have asked me what I'm going to do with this newly found free time and many great ideas have involved a blog. While I can't guarantee that I'll write daily I will try to blog more about the adventures throughout this very exciting time in my life. I may also have to try one of these ideas: http://yoursabbatical.com/getting-started/100-things/

Or at least try to go see blue man group if they don't let me work backstage...

Hurrah! Hurray! Congratulations!

We are so very proud of our daughter, Erin Brosy Anderson, who has passed her dental licensure examinations and will graduate from the School of Dental Medicine at UNLV this May!
