Ladd Dental Group

 At LADD Dental Group,  one of the most rewarding parts of what we do goes far beyond dentistry — it’s the opportunity to build genuine relationships within the communities we proudly serve every single day. The Farmers Market brings together local families, small businesses, community organizations, and neighbors in such a welcoming and energetic atmosphere. From fresh produce and handmade goods to smiling faces and meaningful conversations, it was a perfect example of what makes the Noblesville community so special. Our dental team loved connecting with both longtime patients and new faces throughout the morning. Whether we were discussing oral health tips, meeting local families, or simply enjoying the beautiful day together, every interaction reinforced how fortunate we are to care for such an amazing community. At LADD Dental Group , we believe dentistry is about more than just teeth — it’s about people. We are passionate about supporting the towns and cities we serve ...

 Your smile is some of the most valuable “real estate” you own — and protecting it starts with the small habits you do every day. Brushing your teeth properly twice a day and maintaining good oral hygiene is about far more than just having a bright smile. It helps protect your teeth, gums, bone structure, and overall health for the long term. Once decay, gum disease, or tooth loss begin, restoring that damage can become costly, time-consuming, and invasive. Prevention is always the better investment. Think of your mouth like high-value property: Daily brushing removes harmful plaque and bacteria before they can cause damage. Flossing protects the hard-to-reach areas between teeth where problems often start. Regular professional dental cleanings help catch small issues before they become major repairs. Healthy gums and bone help support and preserve your natural teeth for decades. Just like you maintain a home, vehicle, or business asset, your oral health requires c...

 Brushing your teeth seems simple—but doing it properly makes all the difference when it comes to protecting your smile long-term. ✅ The Proper Way to Brush: • Brush twice a day for at least 2 minutes • Use a soft-bristled toothbrush • Hold your brush at a 45-degree angle toward the gumline • Use gentle, circular motions —not aggressive back-and-forth scrubbing • Don’t forget the gumline, back teeth, and tongue • Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months (or sooner if frayed) ⚠️ Common Mistakes We See: • Brushing too hard (this can damage enamel and gums) • Rushing (most people only brush for ~45 seconds) • Skipping flossing altogether • Ignoring bleeding gums (this is often a sign of inflammation—not something to brush harder!) 💡 Why Oral Hygiene Matters: Good oral hygiene isn’t just about a bright smile—it’s about your overall health. • Helps prevent cavities and gum disease • Reduces risk of bad breath • Supports your heart health and systemic health • Pro...

T here are clear signs inflation is re-accelerating in 2026 , and expectations have been revised upward, though there’s still a wide range depending on the scenario. 📈 What’s happening right now (2026 data) U.S. CPI jumped to ~3.3% in March 2026 , up sharply from 2.4% just a month earlier Monthly inflation spiked 0.9% , the fastest since 2022 The main driver: energy (especially gasoline) tied to geopolitical shocks Even the Fed’s preferred measure (PCE) is running around ~3.5% YoY , still well above the 2% target 👉 Bottom line: inflation bottomed in early 2026 and is now moving back up , largely due to energy + second-order effects. 🔮 Updated inflation expectations for 2026 1. “Base case” (Fed / mainstream economists) Fed forecast: ~2.7% inflation in 2026 (recently revised UP) J.P. Morgan: ~3.2% U.S. core inflation Market-implied expectations: ~3.3% CPI 👉 Consensus has shifted from “back to 2%” → “stuck around ~3%” 2. Upside risk scenario (incre...

 SBA lending in 2025 wasn’t just “common”—it was historically elevated , and that actually tells you quite a bit about the underlying macro setup heading into 2026. 1) How common was SBA lending in 2025? The SBA guaranteed ~85,000 loans totaling about $45 billion in FY2025 — an all-time record. That followed already strong 2024 levels (~$50B), meaning multiple consecutive years of heavy government-backed credit expansion . Roughly 20% of small business borrowers specifically sought SBA financing , making it a meaningful (but not dominant) channel within the broader credit ecosystem. There was also a shift in composition: Fewer total loans but larger average sizes (more capital flowing to stronger borrowers). Larger 7(a) loans made up a disproportionate share of total dollars. 👉 Bottom line: SBA lending was high in volume, but increasingly concentrated and selective . 2) What does that signal about the macro backdrop? SBA lending is a very specific signa...
