Thanks to all of our patients, parents and friends for making our Gunstock Tubing Event a huge success!!! This was our very first large-scale patient appreciation event and we are so glad it went without a hitch. Be sure to check out some photos on our Facebook album. And congratulations to our lucky raffle winners – enjoy those prizes!
The orthodontic years can be a tough time for some of our patients and we certainly understand that. Hey, I had braces myself – TWICE! I hope that having office contests and events like these help to lighten the mood a bit and make the “braces years” a little more enjoyable. I have to admit I am very fortunate to have an awesome office community of patients, parents and staff – it makes my job so much more rewarding.
Thanks again - and I’m already looking forward to planning our next event! If you have some cool ideas of events that would interest you, please let us know.

Although National Orthodontics Month is in October each year, each February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health.
Dr. Kennell and his team want to remind parents that their children can avoid cavities. A balanced diet, limiting snacks, brushing and flossing each day and regular dental check-ups are the keys to a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
Cleaning Your Teeth & Gums
Taking care of your mouth is simple. The ADA recommends the following for good oral hygiene:
- Brush your teeth twice a day with ADA-accepted fluoride toothpaste. Replace your toothbrush every three or four months or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won't do a good job of cleaning your teeth.
- Clean between teeth daily with floss or an inter dental cleaner. Tooth decay–causing bacteria still linger between teeth where toothbrush bristles can’t reach. This helps remove the sticky film on teeth called plaque and food particles from between the teeth and under the gum line.
- Eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks.
- Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams.
