Join us in remembering the life of Merrie Twohig.

For 58 years, Merrie Twohig and Dr. Tim Twohig built a life together, and she was the proud mother of Dr. Catherine McGalloway. She was a constant presence behind the heart of Twohig Family Dentistry as one of our biggest supporters.

Merrie had an incredible eye for detail and spent many years ensuring our office felt inviting and thoughtfully cared for. To her, patients weren’t just patients, they were welcome guests. Her smile, grace, and quiet dedication helped shape the environment our community has come to know and love.

While her family grieves this profound loss, the Twohig Family Dentistry family grieves alongside them. We are deeply grateful for Merrie’s lasting impact and her presence will always be felt within these walls and in the hearts of those who knew her. 🤍

Take a look at this interesting info about dental radiation! 🦷

Many people hear “radiation” and instantly feel uneasy, but dental X-rays are actually among the safest medical imaging procedures available today. The amount of radiation is tiny — comparable to natural sources we encounter every day without realizing it.

Eating a banana exposes you to natural background radiation from potassium. A single dental X-ray gives about the same dose as eating a few bananas.

Spending a few minutes outdoors in sunlight gives you more natural radiation exposure than a dental X-ray.

A short airplane flight exposes your body to several times more radiation than a full-mouth series of dental X-rays.

Thanks to modern digital sensors, today’s X-rays require up to 90% less radiation than old film systems, yet they produce sharper, clearer, and more diagnostic images.

Dentists also take strict safety measures — lead aprons, thyroid collars, and careful adherence to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). Every X-ray is taken only when it has a clear clinical benefit.

In short, the radiation from dental X-rays is minimal, carefully regulated, and far outweighed by their diagnostic value. They help protect your oral and overall health — not put it at risk.

We often hear concerns about radiation exposure from your yearly x-rays (bitewings) or panoramic x-rays and we hear you! Let us put your mind at ease - did you know that the amount of radiation you get from modern dental x-rays is extremely low, even less than what you're exposed to in daily life? 📷✨

Let’s break it down and put it into perspective. Check out this chart from Today's RDH to see just how our x-rays compare to other areas of exposure.

So next time you're due for your dental x-rays, you can feel confident knowing they're quick, safe, and essential for catching issues before they become bigger problems. 🦷💙

FAKE or FACT - All mouthwash kills cavity-causing bacteria.
⁠
❌ FAKE!
Not all mouthwash fights the bad stuff. Some just mask odors and freshen breath with no cavity protection included.
⁠
✅ For real oral health benefits, make sure you're picking a mouthwash that contains fluoride or antibacterial ingredients (like chlorhexidine or cetylpyridinium chloride).
⁠
🦷 Think of mouthwash as helpful sidekick, not a replacement for brushing and flossing!
