Some of our patients first came to this office holding their parent’s hand.
Now they’re holding their own child’s.

That’s not something we take lightly.

Our practice was built on relationships, on knowing families by name, by story, by history. Dentistry isn’t just clinical care; it’s continuity.

When you’ve cared for multiple generations, you learn something important:
Every visit matters. Every interaction leaves an impression.

We are honored to be part of so many family stories here in Scotia and grateful for the trust passed down through generations.

That trust is our greatest responsibility.

If your family has been coming here for years (or decades), we’d love to hear your story in the comments 🤍

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, and in our office, this month means something very personal.

We’ve had the privilege of watching babies grow into teenagers…
teenagers become parents…
and parents bring their children through our doors.

Healthy smiles don’t happen by accident. They’re built slowly… through prevention, education, and trust.

For children, that means:
• Establishing healthy habits early
• Understanding diet and cavity risk
• Making dental visits feel safe, familiar, and positive
• Protecting natural teeth whenever possible

Our philosophy has always been simple:
Nothing is more beautiful than a healthy, natural smile.

If you’re a parent, know this… we don’t just look at teeth.
We look at the whole child. Their growth, habits, comfort, and long-term health.

Because what we do today quietly shapes their confidence for years to come.💙

If you’re a parent, save this post or share it with another family who may need reassurance about starting dental care early.

The biggest cavity risk for kids isn’t candy.

It’s what happens after a long day — when kids fall asleep exhausted, routines get rushed, or brushing gets skipped “just this once.”

Cavities don’t usually come from one piece of candy. They develop quietly over time, often when teeth aren’t fully cleaned before bed and saliva naturally decreases during sleep.

Those peaceful nighttime moments matter more than we realize.

Simple, consistent habits — especially brushing before bed — help protect growing smiles and prevent problems that can affect children for years to come.

We know parenting is busy. We’re here to support you, not judge, and to help protect the smiles you care about most

And If bedtime brushing feels like a battle, you’re not alone.

02/05/2026

As parents, we do everything we can to protect our children—from teaching them to look both ways before crossing the street to making sure they eat their veggies (even if they negotiate for just one bite!). Their dental health is no different, and small steps today can mean a lifetime of healthy smiles.

At every visit, our hygienists carefully check if your child is ready for fluoride treatments and sealants, two simple but powerful ways to prevent cavities:

✔️ Fluoride strengthens enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay.
✔️ Sealants create a protective barrier, keeping food and bacteria out of hard-to-reach molars.

Both are quick, painless, and incredibly effective—and we’ll always recommend them when the timing is just right. Because at Dr. Coppola’s office, we care about more than just teeth. We care about growing up with healthy habits that last a lifetime.

💙 Have questions about your child’s dental care? We’re always here to help!

Baby teeth matter more than people realize.

Baby teeth do more than help children chew and smile — they play an important role in speech development, jaw growth, and holding space for adult teeth.

When baby teeth are lost too early due to cavities or infection, it can affect spacing and alignment later on. That’s why preventive care and healthy habits matter, even when teeth are “just temporary.”

Early guidance helps protect growing smiles and supports long-term oral health.

We’re proud to care for smiles at every stage — from first teeth to adult ones

❄️ Why Teeth Feel More Sensitive in Winter

If your teeth feel more sensitive during the winter months, there’s a reason — and it’s very common.

Cold outdoor air and temperature changes can stimulate the nerves inside your teeth, especially if enamel is worn or gums have receded. Winter dryness can also reduce saliva, which normally helps protect teeth from sensitivity and irritation.

Common winter contributors to sensitivity include:
• Cold air hitting exposed tooth surfaces
• Dry indoor heat reducing saliva
• Existing enamel wear or gum recession
• Brushing too hard with stiff bristles

Sensitivity is often a signal — not something to ignore. Addressing it early can help prevent bigger issues and keep you comfortable year-round.

If sensitivity lingers or worsens, let us know. We’re always happy to take a closer look.

❄️ Winter Dry Mouth & Cavities

Cold winter air, indoor heating, and less water intake can all lead to dry mouth this time of year — and that can quietly increase the risk for cavities.

Saliva plays an important role in protecting teeth by washing away bacteria and neutralizing acids. When saliva is reduced, teeth are more vulnerable.

Simple winter tips to protect your smile:
• Sip water throughout the day
• Limit frequent snacking on sugary or sticky foods
• Brush twice daily and floss once a day
• Use a humidifier at night if your home air feels dry

If you’ve noticed increased sensitivity, dryness, or changes in your mouth this winter, let us know. We’re always happy to help keep small concerns from becoming bigger ones.

Stay warm, stay hydrated, and take good care ❄️

The most expensive dentistry is often the dentistry you wait on.

Small concerns don’t usually announce themselves loudly. They start quietly, progress slowly, and then show up when they’re harder to ignore.

Preventive care isn’t about finding problems.
It’s about protecting what’s already working.
If you tend to put yourself last, this is your reminder: your health matters too.

Today we’re celebrating someone who truly brings people together.

Jessica has a gift for creating real connections with patients — the kind built on trust, laughter, and feeling genuinely cared for. She has a way of making people feel comfortable in the chair, often sharing a laugh while still delivering thoughtful, high-quality care and education.

That balance of warmth and professionalism is something special, and it doesn’t go unnoticed.

We’re so grateful for the joy, dedication, and heart you bring into our office every day.

Wishing you a year filled with laughter, good health, and all the things that make you smile. 💜🎂

Help us wish Jessica the happiest of birthdays! 🎈

A New Year’s Resolution List from your favorite hometown dental team 🤍

This year, we’re keeping it simple.

If you commit to just these 5 things, your teeth will be in a really good place:

• Replace your toothbrush or brush head
• Drink more water than you think you need
• Don’t ignore bleeding gums
• Wear your nightguard if one was recommended
• Keep up with preventive visits, even when nothing hurts

Preventive care doesn’t have to be complicated to be powerful.

It’s the small, consistent habits that protect your smile for the long run.

Save this for later, your future smile will thank you.

A new year always makes us pause.

Not to rush ahead, but to look back for a moment.

The quiet moments between patients. The conversations in the chair. The trust families place in us, sometimes across generations. The hard days that tested us and the good days that reminded us why we do this work.

This year had its challenges. Every year does. But it was also filled with gratitude. For our patients who show up and believe in us. For our team who gives their best every single day. For a community that continues to support a small hometown practice with a big heart.

The takeaway is simple. Gratitude changes how you move forward.

As we step into this new year, we are carrying that gratitude with us. It is the foundation of everything we do.

Thank you for being part of our story.
