Show off your pet for a chance to win!

At Hodgkins Orthodontics we love to not only see your smile, but also the pearly whites of your kitty, puppy, horse, pig, and other pets! That's why we're asking our patients to share their pet photos for a chance to win a gaming system (Xbox, PlayStation 3, or Wii) in our Winter Drawing.

Be sure to ask Dr. Hogkins and our team about our Winter Drawing the next time you're in our office. The drawing will take place March 31, 2011, so don't delay in submitting your entry!

Share your smile with the Braces Brigade!

At Hodgkins Orthodontics, our patients want to get as much out of their treatment as possible. That includes asking a lot of questions and making sure they take care of both their appliances and oral health.

Would you like to learn more about what to expect during orthodontic treatment, from someone with firsthand experience? Well, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recently developed the Braces Brigade blog, where past, present, as well as future orthodontic patients from coast to coast document their (or their child’s) orthodontic journeys. The blog will serve as a source of guidance for others as the patients undergo orthodontic care.

Our team at Hodgkins Orthodontics encourages you to visit the Braces Brigade blog to read these great and informative blogs—who knows, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two! As always, don’t hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions about the Braces Brigade or your own orthodontic treatment with Dr. Hodgkins!

Dr. Hodgkins announces our Winter Drawing!

Would you like to be the proud owner of a brand new gaming system? Our team at Hodgkins Orthodontics invites all of our patients to participate in our office's Winter Drawing. The drawing winner will receive a gaming system of their choice (Xbox, PlayStation 3, or Wii).

Be sure to ask our office staff how to enter at your next appointment. The drawing ends March 31, 2011, so don't delay in submitting your entry! Have a great weekend everyone!

Flossing 101

Here is a very concise video explaining the proper way to floss your teeth now that you have braces. Many people think that flossing is only to get the food out from in between your teeth, when actually flossing should be done every day on every tooth to help protect your teeth and gums.

Be sure to give us a call if you have any questions about flossing with braces, or if you would like to schedule your next appointment with Dr. Hodgkins! You can also visit our website to learn more about brushing and flossing with braces.
