The seasons seem to fly by, quickly turning into years. Before you know it, your little one is not so little (they grow up so fast!) and it’s time to consider braces. At Saxonburg Dental Care, we highly recommend early intervention when it comes to orthodontics.  Contrary to the popular belief that you should wait […]

They say not everything natural is good for you. Nature has many poisons that humans have experimented with and learned the hard way to avoid. Tobacco is a popular plant that we’ve learned can do a number on your health. Using tobacco is a personal and communal practice that can be hard to avoid, even […]
