Advanced Care Endodontics of Bryan/College Station

This week we celebrated sweet Skylar! She is the solo May birthday around here so all singing was for her (not sure she enjoyed the attention 😂). Spinning the birthday wheel is still a hit!
Happy birthday, Skylar! 🥳

Today we pause to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice 🇺🇸

Is it sinusitis or a dental infection? We frequently see patients who need help figuring this out. Our Endodontists help diagnose whether or not the pain they are feeling is related to tooth pain or not. We like to save teeth when we can!

Here is a great article and video from UT Health San Antonio:

Is it sinusitis or a dental infection? | UT Dentistry Tooth pain and sinus pressure can feel surprisingly similar. Pain in the upper teeth, especially the back teeth, often raises a question: Is this a dental problem, or is it coming from my sinuses?

💥Throwback Thursday💥
Since we are located in Bryan/College Station, we are fortunate to have the chance to hire so many great college students as employees while they attend Texas A&M. They bring energy and a desire to learn - we offer them mentorship and a chance to gain a lot of knowledgeable that will help them in dental school and in their future career. Today we have a quick throwback to 2023 when Gia worked here, this was her last day with us on the left. Now fast forward to last week when Dr Cotton saw her at the AAE meeting as a 3rd year dental student presenting her Endo research!

✨ We will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, 4/16/2026 ✨
Continuing education is important for our doctors to continue to provide exceptional care for our patients! Our doctors will be attending the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) annual meeting, and we are giving our staff a well-earned day off on Thursday. Our patients and referring doctors know how to reach us! Stay tuned for updates from the meeting 🤓

Last week we celebrated our April birthday boys, Dr Hale and Jake! In order to spin the birthday wheel for a gift, the birthday person must pick out a hat to wear - Dr Cotton cleaned out his attic and found a plethora of hats 😂
Happy (belated) birthday to these two! 🥳

While I had big plans of posting a great group photo or funny video of our dental assistants this week during Dental Assistants Recognition Week, the reality is that this week has been BUSY and there was no time for that! This is what we have to offer social media to celebrate our dental assistants this week - 3 of our dental assistants in action. 2 others are with patients and 2 part-timers are at school. This office would not run nearly as well without their hard work - we appreciate and recognize them today and always✨

The 34th annual Cain Watters & Associates meeting in Nashville was a great time! Dr Cotton spent some time away over the weekend to network with tax/financial planners and fellow dental professionals. We heard about market updates and a motivational speech by The Iron Cowboy - his story is unbelievable. Dr Cotton and local dentist, Dr Michelle Camp, were able to catch up - it is fun seeing friends like her in these fun settings! And there was no shortage of live music 🎶 🤠

🚨 UPDATE - we have decided to close tomorrow, Monday, January 26, as the temperature will remain below freezing and the roads will be questionable. We plan to open as normal on Tuesday. 🚨

For the safety of our patients and staff, we will have a delayed start on Monday. We will continue to monitor the weather over the weekend in case we need to push back opening later. If you have a Monday appointment and we open later than 10:00 am, you will be contacted. Stay safe and warm!
