Why Do Kids Need Braces? Nasal Breathing vs Mouth Breathing
Proper breathing is one of the most important things you can do for your health—yet an estimated 30-40% of the population mouth-breathes!

We hear it all the time: "I left my last dentist because I felt like I was constantly being upsold." And we get it. No one wants to feel like they’re being sold to, especially when it comes to their health. At Epic, our goal is never to "sell" you on anything. Our job is to help you understand what’s going on in your mouth, how it connects to your overall health, and what your options are. From there, you decide what’s right for you.
At Epic Dentistry, we continually seek innovations that elevate patient care by making treatments more comfortable, efficient, and biologically supportive. That's why Dr. Jon Caulfield has invested in state-of-the-art YAG and CO2 laser technologies—tools that are fundamentally transforming the way we manage everything from airway and TMJ dysfunction to routine preventive procedures.
