Schools are wonderful places full of friendship, books, sports, and learning. They’re also places full of candy and sugary drinks. As a pediatric dentist, I often worry about the latter. In my mind, sugar has its place– it’s just a very small place. Still, you can’t stop the inevitable. Kids are going to eat candy. […]
When you think of superfoods or power foods, what do you think of? Kale? Spinach? Avocados? Those are all great foods, but there’s one food that doesn’t get the recognition it deserves for its many health benefits– cheese. We strive to provide the best dentistry for children, and that includes educating families about foods that […]
After a long summer, you might be ready for a reprieve from the pitter-patter of little feet around the house, at least during school hours. That relief is usually short-lived, unfortunately, because so much stress is associated with sending the little ones back to school. We know a little something about that stress. When you […]
I was introduced to Dr. Aubel by another associate about three and a half years ago. Dr. Aubel is quiet and refined, but over the past three years, I’ve had the chance to get to know her on a deeper, more personal level. It wasn’t long before you could tell dentistry for children is her […]

Linda Otea, one of our clinical assistants, and Lequita Butcher, one of our treatment and financial coordinators, both recently had work anniversaries! Dentistry for children requires kind, gentle employees who speak “kid” and enable children to feel comfortable at the dentist office. To create a positive, […]
Friday, June 5th marked our 3rd Annual Jungle Jam! Over 400 of our patients, their families and friends gathered outside of our office for a few hours of food and summer fun. We know that providing a fun environment is a huge part of successful dentistry for children, so the Jungle Jam is something we look […]
Recently, Dr. Duffy took some time to answer a couple of questions about Flower Mound and why it’s so important to her. We’re excited to share what she had to say! What brought you to Flower Mound? About the time I wanted to make a move from Fort Worth to get my own practice, an […]
One of the best things about living in a small community like Flower Mound, Texas, is that we can really get to know our neighbors! I guess, depending on where you live, this is not always a good thing… But, my family loves it here! And what’s not to love? There is so much happening […]
