It is an opportunity to connect with my practice family, and more. Dentistry is not just about oral health.<strong> It\u2019s all about relationships.<\/strong> People don\u2019t care how much I know until they know how much I care. And you are all part of my family now, as I am a part of yours.  <strong>I am the 5<sup>th<\/sup> dentist in a series of dentists<\/strong> who have worked my practice over the last 100 years. Some of my patients have been part of the practice since the <strong>1940\u2019s<\/strong> and were patients of <em>Dr. Bill Welgen<\/em>! Now, <strong>I have 4 generations of families in my practice <\/strong>and am blessed with the opportunity to get to know my patients as people, beyond their mouths. <em>This is just as enriching for my team and me, as many of you have found by getting to know me.<\/em>  <strong>So, this blog will not be just about teeth<\/strong>. As an Oral Physician, it will feature information about a person holistically, teeth, gums, bones, nerves, muscles, and the process of infection and disease (as well as its effects on your mouth and your whole body). <em><strong>This blog will be about how your mouth can affect your health, and how your health can affect your mouth.<\/strong><\/em>  <strong>With the assistance of a great team, we will post blogs that are about many issues in dentistry today<\/strong>, and we will explore all these issues and more over time. However, as the second youngest of 13 children and married to a woman who is #3 of 6, I have found that many of you are very interested in my family and me. So this blog will also have <strong><a title=\"About Dr. Larry Stanleigh\" href=\"http:\/\/drlarry.net\/about-us\/about-dr-larry.html\" target=\"_blank\">info about me<\/a><\/strong>, my family, my incredible team and their accomplishments, and so much more.
