Brosy 2th Drs Laboratory

Our very first 2th Drs Science Laboratory was a great success. We're not sure who had more fun, our staff putting on the event, or our great junior scientists. Here are a few pictures from our afternoon.

2th Doctors Science Laboratory

We are very excited to host a new event at our office, Brosy Tooth Doctors Laboratory. We hope to have lots of fun with our young scientists. The experiments we have planned are fun and amazing. Come check this out for an afternoon of learning with your children. Bring some friends!

But I love my old picture!

When Paul and I were in dental school in Portland, over 30 years ago, there was a downtown dentist who did a lot of print advertising. This was in the stone age, pre-internet, mind you, so we're talking about newspaper ads. I don't recall the name of this dentist, but I still recall his 1950's styled hair, old-style dental smock, and retro eyeglasses, which were not in fashion at the time. We students all clucked and sniffed, and decidedly avowed we would never allow our pictures to grow stale. We'd replace them frequently and stay current. We were also quite young, without gray hair or crow's feet near our eyes, and probably didn't think we'd ever look "mature."

So now we fast forward. Paul and I have our pictures displayed at the office. We look fantastic and fresh sans any wrinkles or aging hair color. The photographs are close to two decades old. Time for new head shots, and time for a reality check. We've definitely grown older, and the stark evidence between the mirror and our youthful pictures is unsettling. My advice? Change those photos more often, and the startling differences between youth and maturity are not so unsettling!

I don't snore! Yet another difference between women and men....

I married my husband, Paul, 31 years ago, unaware of the great Brosy gene for sleeping anywhere, anytime albeit with a soft snore. It's really quite a gift, their ability to snooze away during lectures, theatrical events, or school functions. If Paul is only nodding when he should be awake, I'm not too concerned. However, when his throat makes more noise than the whispering of our neighboring seatmates, I bring out a gentle elbow. He usually denies sleeping, and vehemently refuses to believe he was snoring. 

I had never been a snorer until recent years. Middle age brings on unwanted wrinkles, creaky joints, and snuffling noises while sleeping. When my dear spouse nudges me during the night, suggesting my nighttime noises are keeping him awake, I am appalled and apologetic.

My female friends who snore share similar stories. Men do snore, and perhaps more often, but tend to be defensive and argumentative. Women do snore, and perhaps more loudly, but are generally embarrassed by the event.

Male or female, there are treatments available for snoring. Our office uses the SilentNite dental appliance. This affordable device is flexible, thin and comfortable for our patients, and it exhibits documented clinical success in mitigating or even preventing the disruptive, unhealthy effects of snoring and sleep apnea. Please call our office, 775-826-1988, to see if this appliance could help you or your sleeping partner.

Election Results

Great news for the Brosy family as Dr Lynn was elected Secretary of the Nevada Dental Association. I could not be more proud of her and know that she will make an excellent leader.
