Mom fails trying to surprise daughter at Utah State University in her dorm
(KUTV) — Here’s what happens when parents try to pretend they are cool, 18, and still think they can surprise you by showing up at your dorm by posting a selfie while laying your bed — only it’s not your bed… or even your dorm.
That’s what happened to McKenna Pilling, the 18-year-old freshman from New York City, attending Utah State University.

Her mom planned to travel all the way across the country to surprise her with a visit. Only problem was, mommy Pilling didn’t know her daughter moved out of her dorm for the semester.
“No one was in there so she laid down for five minutes in the wrong bed and decided to send me a picture as a surprise,” Pilling told Buzzfeed.
Only it was the mom who got the real surprise after she realized her mistake.
Mom posted a selfie from a bed saying “Look where I am! Where are you?”
Pilling responds back, “Where’s that?? I’m in my dorm. Please tell me you’re not in someone else’s dorm.”
The mom sheepishly replies, “I am in the wrong dorm omg.”
At that moment Pilling said her mom immediately felt sick to her stomach and ran out of the wrong room.
Pilling took at screen shot of the text message exchange on May 5 and tweeted it. By Monday, four days later, the tweet received more than 13,000 retweets and 28,000 likes.
It looks like Pilling is less embarrassed of her mom and rather more proud of her going viral on social media.
Pilling and her friends can’t stop laughing about how much exposure the photo has gotten. The only regret from her mom at this point is “I wish I would’ve taken a better picture,” she told Buzzfeed.
Shout out to momma pilling for being hilarious and going viral on Twitter. Happy Mother’s Day, love you.

We will miss you Quiana!
Quiana started at Wahl Family Dentistry over 5 years ago, and I have had the privilege to work closely with her and watch her grow from a somewhat shy girl into a confident and excellent dental assistant, very competent and caring with her patients. The newer assistants have benefited from her knowledge of clinical dental assisting, which she has been generous to share. Her last day at Wahl Family Dentistry was May 12, 2016. Quiana we wish you the best and we know your journey through life will be filled with many more great achievements. Thank you for the wonderful care you have provided our patients over the years.

47 million unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions yearly in the United States
CBS News reports that a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association has shown that there are about 47 million unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions yearly in the United States. These unnecessary antibiotics put patients at risk for allergic reactions and antibiotic-resistant infections. You can be assured that the dentists at Wahl Family Dentistry prescribe antibiotics for our patients only after carefully evaluating each situation to ensure that the benefits will outweigh the risks of doing so.
Here are 7 dangerous myths about antibiotics, as reported by CBS News.

Mike Rowe on Nick Shortridge
Off The Wall Say hi to Nick Shortridge. Nick's on his way to work. He drives a dumptruck. I watched this earlier today, not long after I complained that the egg-white omelette I ordered from room service arrived with yolks. It reminded me of just how ridiculous I sound when I whine, and how silly my excuses must sound to people who actually understand adversity. Here's to you, Nick Shortridge.Mike

Noah the Juggler
Noah Gallion is an 8-year-old third grader at Forwood Elementary School and the son of our hygienist Sue. He has narrowed down his future career choices to two: boxer or engineer. (Sue would prefer engineer.) In only five minutes just before this video was taken, he taught himself to juggle! Way to go Noah!

Patient Dr Patrick Whilby becomes dentist
Dr Patrick Whilby always loved coming with his family to Wahl Family Dentistry as a little boy in the early 1990s and dreamed about being a dentist like Dr Mike and his uncle Dr Marc Roberts in Atlanta. He ultimately went to the University of Delaware to study biology and then Howard University School of Dental Surgery, where he graduated with his DDS degree in 2015. He is now one of Dr Mike’s dental residents at the dental clinic of Christiana Care and plans to join his uncle in Atlanta in practice in July 2016. What a great story Dr Whilby! Congratulations.
