Clay & Associates DDS, PLC Now Provides Same-Day Dentistry Service For Dental Patients

There is nothing more frustrating than having to spend weeks in the process of getting a dental crown. However, thanks to Cerec dentistry, dental patients no longer need to. This advanced computer-aided design and technology and software ensures you can get a dental crown in just one visit at Clay and Associates DDS, PLC.

Here's how the system works. Cerec combines a camera, computer, and milling instrument into one machine allowing tooth retorations to be created in the dental office, all within a single visit. The patient's tooth is prepared for restoration. The Cerec software takes a digital photo of the treatment area and the technology converts the image into a 3D virtual model. With input from the dentist, the software creates the final restoration. The milling instrument precisely carves a ceramic block into the exact shape and specifications of the restoration. Once the dentist has ensured the restoration fits properly in the patient's mouth, the restoration is polished and bonded to the tooth. The entire process takes no longer than 90 minutes.

New Book "Love, Sanity, or Medical School" Delivers a Hilarious and Contemporary Spin on Navigating Life, Dating, and Medical School

Third year of medical school is the greatest test in a doctor's life, a year of rotating throughout specialties, teams, hospitals and lives. It leaves an indelible mark on every physician, but the story is often untold… until now.

Told through gonzo-style, bare-it-all journaling, Love, Sanity, or Medical School takes you on a tour of Third Year with Dr. Stephanie Benjamin, a 9/11 and Katrina-surviving, former Junior Olympic fencer with a tenacious spirit and keen humor.

Follow Dr. Benjamin as she navigates Imposter Syndrome and white coat snack-stashing, life-changing mentors and unbearable teammates, courageous cancer patients and booger-ridden pediatric patients, breakups, makeups, parties, research, exams, rounds and learning what it's really going to take to devote yourself so completely to the practice of medicine and patients.

Hilarious, heartfelt, and real Benjamin has carefully curated a "Music & Beverage Pairing Menu" to accompany each chapter and enhance the reading experience. For example: Family Medicine, Song: Coconut Records. "Nighttiming." Nighttiming. Young Baby Records. 2007., Drink: Chili Mango Margarita, or any other drink featuring Tequila, Intersession 1- Song: The xx. "Intro." xx. XL Studios. 2009. Drink: Large dark roast, 2% milk, no sugar, Inpatient Internal Medicine, Song: Arcade Fire. "We Used to Wait." The Suburbs. Rouge Trade Records, Merge Records. 2019, Drink: Sauvignon Blanc, or other crisp white wine. Please read responsibly.

Love, Sanity, or Medical School finds its power in vulnerability, in documenting love, loss, triumph, failure, fear and joy. You'll never forget this slice of life from the white coat crowd.

Mother-Daughter Game Creators’ Twist on Party Games Is “Unrivaled”

In a thriving, billion-dollar board game industry largely dominated by men, mother Staley Krause and daughter Sawyer Krause-Thompson collaborated to create and write a fresh take on party games with their debut release, Unrivaled.

Unrivaled offers partygoers a unique experience with an added twist: Players guess the winner before each challenge begins, bringing in rivalry from the start. The game stirs up high energy and big laughs with diverse challenges, from push-up contests and delivering monologues to designing new trends and inventing strange cocktails. Players compete in wit and will while also getting to know each other on a whole new level.

"People inherently want to understand and be understood by each other, and I think the Unrivaled game mechanic sets the stage for that." says Krause. "We all know the superficial basics about our friends and acquaintances, so I wanted this game to take things up a notch. All of it is light-hearted and often ridiculous, but the end result, whether people realize it or not, is learning about and sharing with each other."

The mother-daughter duo partnered with illustrator Ping Fah, who created the retro-fresh cover art. Designer Missy Fountain, of the Atlanta-based game publisher Lark & Clam, brought all of the elements together into the package on shelves today. Collectively, these women are unrivaled in their talent and creativity. Unrivaled has been picked up by Target, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and Amazon, and can be found in hobby gaming stores across the country. Be alert to the latest news.

ABOUT UNRIVALED
Welcome to a brand-new party game experience where players guess the winner before each challenge begins! Stir up rivalries. Read the room. A madcap game of trivia, physical team, and solo challenges - Who will take them on? Who will predict the winner?

ABOUT LARK & CLAM
Lark & Clam is a maker of fine board games, card games, and curios located in Atlanta, Georgia. Its mission is to bring fun-to-play, easy-to-learn "party games" to a wider audience. Lark & Clam believes that face-to-face engagement is a basic human need and that quick and fun games are an important part of life. Hit games include Codenames: Deep Undercover 2.0; Deer Lord!; Flanx; Brown Chicken, Brown Cow; and Unrivaled.

Counselor Releases Unflinching Guide to Finding Strength Through Stillness, Silence and Gratitude Amidst Life’s Chaos

A licensed professional counselor has released her playfully irreverent guide to overcoming life's challenges, mastering stillness in motion and, ultimately, discovering and becoming one's authentic self. In "Learning to Slow the F*ck Down: And Other Life Lessons," author Erica Mortimer twines her personal stories of growth with her perspective as a seasoned mental health clinician and invites readers to strip away limiting beliefs and negative patterns of thought, empowering them to create for themselves a life they truly love.

"Learning to Slow the F*ck Down" was born out of a desire to help the walking wounded that Mortimer encounters every day, she said. Ultimately, she wanted to provide others with a simple introduction to spiritual concepts and practices, such as being intentional and learning to meditate, while also helping readers to move past the commonly perceived roadblocks and limiting beliefs that prevent them from living their truth. Click here to read the latest news.

"I wrote this book because my journey to mindfulness was not a pretty one," Mortimer said. "Not so long ago, I had someone tell me I needed to slow the f-ck down, and in that moment, I thought I knew what they meant. But I really didn't, and it took me years to figure it out. When I finally understood, I had to call them up and thank them."

An unflinching and deeply personal approach to learning to become more present in an increasingly fast-paced and technology-centric world, "Learning to Slow the F*ck Down" teaches readers how to respond to life rather than react to it, educates them on the joy intention can bring to simple actions, such as eating and conversing with others, and shows them how to celebrate and love the parts of themselves that they struggle with most.

"Learning to Slow the F*ck Down: And Other Life Lessons"
