Two twins with the same genetic code, will they have the same life outcomes? The answer is no and this is due to genetic expression. Even though both twins might have the same code, the way they interact with their environments and the habits they build will work in conjunction with their genetic code to determine health and growth. Remember, our genetic code is a starting point the we mould through expression to extract the best out of ourselves.

It’s Friday, so let’s talk about the real jaw-dropper: your Masseter muscle 💪

This powerhouse cheek muscle is what lets you chew steak, crunch almonds, and sometimes opening tight jars. But when it gets overworked , it can bulk up like it’s training for the super bowl. This can result in jaw pain, headaches, tooth wear, even a “square jaw” look.
For oral surgery patients, this muscle matters! Chronic clenching (bruxism), TMJ strain, and post-op tension can all impact this muscle. Sometimes we manage it with splints, therapy, or even targeted treatments to calm it down.
So if your jaw feels like it’s been doing deadlifts all week… it might be your masseter stealing the spotlight.

Is that chihuahua still behind me? Chihuahuas may be small, but they are not completely harmless. With their 100-200 bite force and their sharp teeth, they can definitely cause some damage. I spent many hours in the emegency room and in the operating room repairing facial injuries from dog bites on peoples faces. Like any dog, fear or poor socialization can trigger a defensive bite. So the next time you see a stray chihuahua, make sure to keep at a safe distance 😉
