Patient Referral Program

To show our appreciation, each time you refer a patient you will receive a credit of one month's payment. This credit will be applied to your account the month after the referred patient is fitted with braces. There is no limit as to how many patients you can refer. The patient referral program still applies for the accounts that are paid in full. Paid in full accounts will receive a $75.00 gift card the month after the referred patient is fitted with braces. *Some exclusions may apply.

History of Thanksgiving

Most stories of Thanksgiving history start with the harvest celebration of the pilgrims and the Indians that took place in the autumn of 1621. Although they did have a three-day feast in celebration of a good harvest, and the local Indians did participate, this "first Thanksgiving" was not a holiday, simply a gathering.  It is thought that the first Thanksgiving in 1619, was celebrated to give thanks for helping the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony survive their first brutal winter in New England. Thanksgiving can be traced back to 1863 when President Lincoln became the first president to proclaim Thanksgiving Day as a national holiday. The holiday has been a fixture of late November ever since. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. www.wiki.com

Fall into a Smile

Smiling is contagious, you can catch it like the flu. When someone smiled at me today, I noticed I started smiling too. As I passed around the corner, and someone saw my gleaming grin. When he smiled I realized, I'd passed it on to him. I thought about that smile all day long, and then I realized its worth. A single smile, just like mine, could travel round the earth. www.smile.org

Insurance Benefits Reminder

The holiday season is fast approaching and the 2012 year is quickly coming to an end, so we would like to take this opportunity to address some insurance related issues that a new calendar year always brings up. Whether you have an individual or employer sponsored Health Insurance plan, a Life insurance policy, Dental and Vision plan, or some combination thereof, here are a few things to keep in mind as we close out 2012 and usher in 2013.

Now is the time to be thinking about using your flex spend, health savings and/or insurance benefits before they may expire at the end of the year, so before the end of the year be sure to take advantage of your remaining insurance benefits. If you have Dental insurance, your deductible and annual benefit maximum(s) will most likely reset January 1, 2013. These are some things you may want to keep in mind as appointment times are limited around the holidays, so don’t wait to give us a call to utilize those benefits or to get a jump start on starting treatment for the new year!

Fun Fall Outdoor Activities!

The Fun Harvest Dash

Set up a fall relay with the kids. Fill large containers with sunflower seed bird feed. Have smaller, clear containers at the opposite end. Kids fill up a cup with seed and race to dump it in the empty container. They sprint back to the start and hand-off the cup to the teammates. Goal of the race is to be the first team to fill up the small container with the seeds. As an extra challenge, give the kids an over-sized soup ladle instead of a cup. Don't worry if the seeds spill; that's part of the fun! The birds will easily find them later. Try a dollar store for inexpensive clear containers. They usually stock plastic ones in apple or pumpkin shapes in the fall. Popcorn or candy corn also can be used in place of seeds!!!!
