Summer Family Fun with Dr. Matthew Coats

We’ve officially hit August, which means there’s only one more month for final summer fun. That means it’s time for a summer vacation getaway!

The best way to spend my vacation is by traveling, especially traveling with family. My family loves traveling because it’s a great way to see, experience, and appreciate other cultures. One time, on a Disney World riverboat, the tour guide asked the riders for jokes. My son raised his hand and shared one with all the people on the tour!

On that same note, travel is a great way to meet people across the world. The farthest place I’ve ever been to so far is England. I hope to take my family on the Orient Express across Europe, and to see Paris, Italy, and the Holy Land.

However, the best places to visit can be in your own backyard. The most perfect summer getaway I’ve had was in Kohler, Wisconsin a few years ago, and my kids still talk about it today! You can find amazing weather, people, and services anywhere, but the most important thing about vacation is to spend it with a family you love.


As summer draws to a close, don’t forget to schedule your visit to the dentist. And if you leave a review for us on Yelp or HealthGrades, you’ll be entered in a drawing to win a $150 clothing gift card, just in time for back to school shopping!
