A Dentist By Any Other Name Is Still A Dentist, Right?

That’s a lot of consonants. Have you ever wondered what all of those ‘letters of authority’ mean after a dentist’s name? When they’re lined up in a row, they have the potential to be a really, really bad turn in a game of Scrabble. It’s All Greek To Me LOL, ROFL, LMAO; sometimes I need […]

There’s No Place Like (A New) Home

  • Peter Drews, D.D.S., M.A.G.D.
No, we’re not in Kansas, we are still here in Lewiston! Although I feel like I’ve been caught up in a tornado for the last couple of weeks, Drews Dental Services is now officially moved into our new digs at 471 Sabattus Street. Fortunately, the move was pretty seamless. Nothing was broken or lost. All of […]

Pain is a Great Motivator

Whether it’s the avoidance of or the onset of, pain is a great motivator. And let’s face it, toothache PAIN is one of the primary reasons people go to the dentist. When you have a toothache, you definitely need to visit a dentist – sooner rather than later. I’d like to talk a bit about […]

Location! Location! Location!

  • Peter Drews, D.D.S., M.A.G.D.
Under normal circumstances, I really hate moving. Several years spent in the United States Navy, and I can honestly say that I’ve had more than my fair share of packing boxes and bubble wrap. However, I am extremely excited about this next move – fortunately, it’s just down the street and not several time zones […]

Why Your Opinion Matters

  • Peter Drews, D.D.S., M.A.G.D.
Mammals tend to retain (and shout out) negative experiences more readily than positive ones – something to do with that whole survival instinct thing. This certainly rings true when I taught my dogs how to respect the perimeter of their invisible fence. They both got zapped by their collars and the little one wouldn’t even […]

Why Dentures Are Actually the Haute Couture of Dentistry

  • Peter Drews, D.D.S., M.A.G.D.
‘Prêt-à-porter’ is a French phrase, used in the fashion industry, which means ‘ready to wear.’ Clothes that are mass produced, following a standardized pattern and sizing chart, are said to be ready to wear. Right off the rack. It’s how we all buy the vast majority of our clothes. Some clothing brands tend to fit […]

You Won’t Get a BMW on a Toyota Corolla Budget

Not All Crowns Are Created Equal If you are like me, you appreciate a good crown. Pun intended. I sometimes don a crown in the office to imitate the tooth fairy and put a pediatric patient at ease. And, if you’re like me, you’ve probably purchased one of those ultra-generic boxes of corn flakes during […]

The Affront of Middle Age; “But I’ve Never Had A Cavity!”

We all know that one person who says, “I haven’t eaten at McDonald’s in about 15 years” or “I don’t watch TV at all. Ever.” Obviously, they’re just massaging the truth, because Five Guys Burgers still counts as fast food, and streaming old episodes of ‘American Idol’ on a laptop technically counts as TV watching.
