February 2013

We always encourage our patients and friends to take pictures and show them off in our offices.  We love to see our patients enjoying themselves.  Patients that partake in any activity wearing their Century Orthodontic T-shirt and snap a photo will be given an extra coin. The coin program gets our kids involved with us and helps everyone make the orthodontic process go by faster and more fun.  We try to stay up to date with what is trending in the world of teens and young adults, because they are who we spend most of our day with.  We also have to stay up to date with the mom's and dad's who bring their kids to see us or, are our patients. If you every have any ideas to help us improve our practice let us know.

Toothbrush Charity

In our office we offer all the supplies our patients need.  We ask if you take a new toothbrush or supplies that that patient make a donation to our toothbrush charity.  Every 6 months we choose a new charity that has hit home with our patients, staff or our local area. If you have a charity that you would like us to donate we just need the information of where to mail the donations to and a little about the charity.

In the past we have donated to Smiles Change Lives, Autism Speaks and Dent County Animal Rescue.  This time we are donating to Epilepsy Awareness.  This charity is close to one of our girls, Angi, her friends little girl has this condition. Angi thought what a great way to help find a cure for this horrible problem that efflices children and adults.

When you get supplies or a toothbrush at any of our offices please donate $1 or more to help others.  

Education Our Youth

Today our office is visiting a local elementary school to educate the third graders about the joys of orthodontics.  We will tell the students how to become an orthodontist or an orthodontic assistant, why we love our jobs and what a great place Century Orthodontics is to work for.  The students will be learning about a few other professions but we want to show them what a great job it is to be an orthodontist. The students will also learn what we do in our orthodontic practice. 

 If you would like Century Orthodontics to visit your school please contact us via email.
