If it sounds too good to be true….
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, The Times
Spend time on Facebook or any other website for that matter and you will see advertisements for do-it-yourself dentistry. Just today I was solicited for mail-order orthodontics and do-it-yourself veneers. No dentist needed. These might seem like a great way to save money and get a nicer smile – but there are plenty of pitfalls.

Four easy ways to improve your relationship with your man
By Nancy Plummer, Columnist, The Times
I’ve often wondered why it is that much research has revealed the sad truth about most traditional relationship counseling…over 75% of couples who go for counseling together, end up divorcing or ending their relationship. I felt it to be true, even with my own experiences in the past, and when I did some more digging, I found some solid evidence.

Don’t Retire, Refire: What kind of life do you want?
By Gail Supplee Tatum, Columnist, The Times
Is that a “loaded” question? Is there an age limit on asking this question? At what point is it too late in life to ask such a question?
There may be some who would think that, if there life isn’t what they hoped it would be or what they wanted it to be, there’s no point in trying anymore. Would that decision be dependent on how old we are? Young...
Lending a hand for victims of Harvey
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
The devastation as a result of Hurricane Harvey is overwhelming. When faced with a crisis of epic proportions, it is easy to feel paralyzed by the work that lies ahead. How can we help when we are hundreds of miles away? Unless we have a personal connection, the level of aid we can provide is limited to making a donation of supplies or a monetary contribution....

Shopping in an age of instant gratification
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
The art of shopping has changed, changed, changed, my friends. Most say for the better, but I’m not convinced. It all seems too easy. There’s no “thrill of the hunt” anymore.
Remember when we were kids and you waited, ever so patiently, for your mom to take you for Back to School clothes and how, if you went too late, the store would probably be sold...
A dental hygiene visit – It’s not just a cleaning
By Dr. Stephanie McGann, DMD FAGD, Columnist, The Times
It’s easy to think that the regular twice yearly visit with the dental hygienist is just a cleaning. We sometimes forget to share all the things that are occurring during that regular appointment. This visit, the most important aspect of preventive dentistry, is a complete inspection of the oral cavity. I decided to share just some of the...
Super Six: Hello, Autumn
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times
A week late, yes…but, I would never forget the Super Six! It’s my favorite article to write. I love the excuse to delve into the must-haves of the month. Well, MY must-haves; but, hopefully you will like them, too.
As sad as I am to see the summer fade away, fall is my favorite season. I am excited for more saturated colors, cozier fabrics, and perfecting...
