Oral Health Tips for Doggies

Looking ahead…
Wow! It’s hard to believe the first month of the year is already over! On this last day of January, we at Dr. Gharagozloo’s office are looking ahead to February which, although a short month, is packed with events.

It was quite amusing to see people outside our doors (we have glass doors that lead out into the main hallway of our building)–do double takes as we were in a circle in our reception area doing stretches. Why, you may ask, [...]
An Alternative to The Dreaded Drill?
Did you know people have been getting their teeth drilled for over 9,000 years? I did not– and can’t even imagine how that was accomplished and what those patients went through… Luckily, technology has evolved over time and getting a cavity filled can be virtually pain free. We hear time and again from our patients [...]
