Pain in your mouth is difficult to ignore, especially when it affects everyday activities like speaking, eating, or sleeping. Here are some of the most common reasons to visit your dentist.
The first sign to visit your dentist is a persistent toothache. Sometimes our teeth can hurt temporarily due to things like teeth whitening or sinus issues. However, if a toothache does not go away, or goes away and then comes back, this is a good sign to visit your dentist to identify the source of pain.

I am ready for the “no news is good news” cycle to begin.
For the past two weeks, we have been inundated with bad news: the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump, the unimpressive direction/security offered Trump at the rally that fateful Saturday night, and then 10 days later, that same director having no answers as to how, when, why the surveillance, the protection, went so awry. That said, I was listening Monday morning when she appeared before Congress and said the public “might” gets answers in six months or so.

As I read John 6:1 - 21 today — the story of the boy whose lunch of five loaves and two fish in Jesus’ hands fed 5,000 people — I began to think about our sustenance.
What did you have for breakfast today?  Cereal?  Eggs and bacon?  A cup of coffee?
What did you feed your spiritual body?  Some have devotions.  Some say morning prayers.  Others might just recall a verse they have learned and meditate on it.  Whatever your choice, everyone needs food to supply nourishment for their spiritual bodies.

With summer here, we know that our friends, families and readers will be having fun and exploring this treasured area we call home. We would like to share a few of our favorite photos that you’ve taken this month in our community pages to celebrate the natural beauty and adventures happening around our hometowns throughout the Big Horn Basin.
From community pool parties to parades, sunsets to long days spent on the farm, from pack trips in the mountains to park days with ice cream, we want to showcase what life in the Big Horns is all about!
