Here's another fun moment from our office: Sharon (our past dental assistant and hygienist) stopped by for a cleaning and brought along her son Nico. This gave our insurance coordinator Carol a chance to babysit during the appointment. How much fun! We love getting updates on our past staff and their families. Until next time!!
Here you can really see his first two teeth!
What a great moment caught on video! Here is Dr. Kari's son Duke having his teeth brushed for the first time. His two lower teeth came in at 6 months and now at 7 months they are almost fully erupted. They get brushed twice a day with a children's toothbrush soaked in water. He loves holding the brush and sucking the water off the bristles. We can't wait to share more dental milestones to come!
Faith, our dental assistant, recently brought her daughter by the office for a checkup and quick filling. Dental work can be stressful, but blankets, headphones and your favorite TV show can sure help! If you would like to know more about what we can do to make you feel more comfortable during your dental treatment, please give us a call.
A quick office update! Jonathan (Michael's 9-month old) and Duke (Dr. Kari's 7-month old) are both doing great! They recently got together for a play date where Jonathan's mom snapped some fun photos. Look at them getting along so well! We can't wait to meet your little ones for their checkups and exams. Have a great weekend!
Here's a panoramic view of our completely renovated waiting room. Even more inviting than before! A special thanks to The Sofa Guy and Room and Board for the sofas and media center. Also, check out the new artwork courtesy of Latitudes Fine Art. Last but not least, a big thank you to JRP Design and Remodel for their excellent workmanship and timely completion of all our projects. We cannot wait to show you our new look!
Talk about having fun outside the office! Last friday, our hygienist Lori hosted a night of friends, fun and Cabi shopping. No teeth talk tonight! Pictured here are Faith, Kristi, Lori, Mia (Faith's daughter) and Dr. Kari with Duke. We always enjoy the time we get to spend with each other, both in and out of the office!
Its about that time of year! This week Dr. Kari's two oldest sons, Mark and luke, started third and first grade. In the midst of this hectic season, we hope everyone is having and easy transition back to school. To all our young patients: have fun, make new friends and remember to floss!
Construction is officially wrapping up at Thousand Oaks Family Dentistry. The crew is putting the final touches on paint, flooring and fixtures. We got to spend a little time at the office this weekend to enjoy our new look. Here you can see Duke (Dr. Kari's son) with Katie and Jonathan (Michael's wife and son). A true family affair! Even though we are still finishing work, our phones are open to any of your questions or concerns. Just give us a call!
Pardon our dust; we're making some big changes! These photos really show our office remodel coming together. The new floors, paint and interior are working to create a more relaxing and welcoming space. The consultation room is also moving along nicely, providing a quiet area to discuss any of your needs. Work should be complete early next week, allowing us to start seeing patients right away. We can't wait to welcome you back to our brand new space!
Enjoy these "before" pictures, because our office is getting a new look! Construction is underway to make Thousand Oaks Family Dentistry an even more inviting and relaxing space. In addition to new flooring, paint and decorations, we will be adding a formal consultation room just off of our front desk. The remodel is scheduled to finish August 2nd, and we can barely wait!
