Dr. Navjot Sekhon, DDS, FAGD, at Harding Icefield in Alaska
I recently returned from a breathtaking trip to Alaska — where nature feels untouched, time slows down, and every step on the trail brings a new sense of awe. But what made this trip truly unforgettable wasn’t just the towering glaciers or peaceful forests — it was witnessing my 4-year-old daughter hike nearly 10 miles to and from the Harding Icefield with determination and joy.

That moment stopped me in my tracks. Not just because of her strength, but because it reminded me of what we’re all capable of — no matter our age — when we stay committed, stay curious, and venture outside our comfort zones.
Nature’s Lessons on Resilience
Alaska is a place where the environment doesn’t bend easily — the glaciers move slow but carve deep. The wildlife adapts to survive. Trees grow sideways through rocky cliffs just to reach the light.
As I watched my daughter climb with those little legs, fueled by nothing but granola and grit, I realized: resilience starts early — and it carries us further than we think. And it applies to every part of life, including how we care for ourselves and our smiles.
Your Smile Is a Journey
Just like hiking a trail, your dental journey might feel long at times — maybe you’ve avoided the dentist, or you’re unsure about treatment options. But progress is made step by step. Every time you brush, floss, or make it to a check-up, you’re climbing your own mountain.
And just like my daughter reaching the Harding Icefield — you might surprise yourself with how far you can go.
Get Out of the Comfort Zone
Most growth doesn’t happen on the couch — it happens when we challenge ourselves. Alaska reminded me of that. Whether it’s starting teeth straightening, whitening your teeth, or simply asking for help with your dental health — those small leaps outside your comfort zone lead to major transformation.
Confidence in Every Smile
When you feel good about your smile, you radiate confidence. And confidence opens doors. Your smile can be a source of strength — a reflection of resilience, self-care, and personal growth.
