October is such a fun month! 🍂🎃🍭 The weather is cooling, leaves are changing, and it's time for our annual coloring contest! 🖍️
You do not have to be a patient to enter. All entries are due November 15th. You can pick one up at any of our local offices or print it off and write your name, age, school and grade on the back before you return it. There are three age categories in a first, second and third place winner in each.
Have fun coloring! 😁 And remember... "Sweet smiles start early!" 🍬🦷
Did you know the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic checkup by age 7? At this age, we can spot developing concerns with jaw growth, tooth eruption, crowding, crossbites, and bite alignment while there’s still time to guide development. Early, or Phase 1, treatment isn’t always needed, but when it is, it can help create a healthier foundation for your child’s permanent smile and make future treatment short and sweet.
A quick checkup at age 7 can make a big difference! 🧐
