Can You believe it’s October already? Dr. Menjivar and the Smile Team have a lot of exciting things going on this month.
Happy National Orthodontic Health Awareness Month! We love this month so much because it gives us a chance to celebrate orthodontics and share tips, tricks and information about orthodontics with you! National Orthodontic Health Awareness Month occurs annually in October. During this time, orthodontics and dentists work together to raise awareness about the importance of proper dental care and offer helpful suggestions for maintaining beautiful, healthy smiles. This may include the importance of wearing a mouth guard while playing sports, having your first orthodontic consultation by age 7 or knowing that retainers are a life-long commitment to prevent teeth from shifting.
Dr. Menjivar will be hosting a virtual presentation called Straight Talk About Teeth on zoom later in the month. In her presentation, she’ll discuss all aspects of orthodontics from what to expect in a new patient visit to what is early treatment and some of the differences between braces and Invisalign. Whether you’re a parent of kids ages 7-13, a potential patient yourself, or interested in brushing up on your orthodontic trivia, you do not want to miss this information-packed virtual session. Straight Talk About Teeth will be presented on Thursday, October 21 from 5:30-6:30 pm and leave time for your frequently asked questions.
