It’s interesting how many variables affect our lives—both quality of it as well as the longevity. So while I and my team strive to improve quality of life through optimal oral health, here is a recent article summarizing how your attitude and outlook on life can affect it as well.
I recently read an article on how optimism is linked to a lower risk of a heart attack. I strongly encourage anyone to read it here. Hopefully this gives you a great start to your day and encourages you to look on the bright side of anything you may encounter, not only in the dental world, but in your general day to day life as well.

I am a native of the Carolinas, born in Lexington--the BBQ capital of the world!--and I grew up in Florence, SC and Asheville, NC. I was fortunate to graduate a Tar Heel from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1988 with a degree in chemistry and again in 1992 as a doctor of dental surgery. While there I met my lovely wife, and in 1992 we moved to Charlotte. We are blessed with three wonderful children who never cease to keep us busy, entertained, and thankful.
I consider myself one of the most fortunate people in the world to work in a profession that I love so dearly. Over the years, I have found my passion for dentistry continues to flourish, thanks to my fantastic staff, extraordinary relationships with my patients, and superior continuing education opportunities. I can only hope that I return to my family of patients just as much satisfaction as I get from endeavoring to improve the quality of their lives.
