National Smile Week

August 5 - 11 is designated National Smile Week.  Remember to show off those beautiful smiles as often as possible!  To quote Max Eastman, "A smile is the universal welcome."

Did You Know?

Tooth decay remains the most common chronic disease among children ages 5-17 with 59% affected.  As one of the stickers we give to younsters says, "Brush 'em and Floss 'em" if you want to minimize tooth decay!

Beach Bash was a Smash!

We want to thank everyone who attended the Jarrell Orthodontics' Beach Bash at Kokomo Beach on July 12.  The crowd was amazing!  It was a delight to see 800 people enjoying their time in the pool.  We hope you had as much fun that evening as we did.  Thank you again for making our first Beach Bash a smashing success!

Only 2 more days until the Jarrell Orthodontics' Beach Bash on July 12!  Do you have your tickets yet?  If not, stop by Jarrell Orthodontics and pick them up.  Everyone must have a ticket to enter.  We are gathering our supplies for the big bash - sunglasses, sand pails, etc.  See you on Thursday!

Everyone Deserves a Compliment!

Patients, today is National Compliment Your Mirror Day. Repeat after me: 'My my. Who is that gorgeous creature and how did it get into my bathroom? Oh wait. It's me!' You put a lot of work into being your awesome self and you deserve some recognition. So say it loud and proud. 'I look goooood.'  And once your braces are off and your smile is perfect, you will be looking GREAT!

Orthodontists are Specialists at Straightening Teeth

Why choose an orthodontist to straighten your child's teeth if a general dentist offers this service?  Because your child deserves the best.   All orthodontists are dentists, but only about 6 percent of dentists are orthodontists.  Orthodontists receive an extra 2-3 years of specialized education beyond dental school to learn the proper way to align and straighten teeth.

Okay, patients, it's time for a new contest...and we have a fun one for you! Dr. Kevin treated his team to a spa day in May. We loved our manicures so much we took a picture of our hands. So, now, we want you to guess which hand belongs to which team member. The entry form for this new office contest is at the front desk in the office as well as the "contests" page of our website: http://www.jarrellortho.com/.
