Happy Valentine's Day
 
 
 
Can you believe that it is middle of February already?  Well, since the world didn't explode last December and we all realized on December 22 that had to go on with our lives, we have been full steam ahead here at Davis Orthodontics.  Thanks to you all we ended up with a great 2012 and we are looking forward to a fabulous 2013. 
 
As we entered this year thinking of new ways to improve your experience, we have committed ourselves to bringing you the best customer service possible.  We have and continue to expand our knowledge in making your visits the best part of your day. 

I would also like to welcome Kristal and Layne to our office.  Kristal takes care of all of our scheduling and helping us keep on time.  Layne is in charge of our office marketing.  She directs our office contest and our community outreach.  We are blessed to have them join our team. 

I also wanted to let you all know of a new orthodontic device we have available in our office.  It is called the Acceledent.  This device is a bite piece that you bite on and it places small sonic pulses to the bone that holds the teeth.  This causes the bone remodeling to happen at a faster pace which translates to faster treatment.  Studies have shown that patients receive a 30-50% reduction in treatment time. We have been using the device since November and our patients using the device have shown quicker alignment as well as decreased discomfort.  We would be happy to show you this device at your next appointment.  Just ask myself or one of our team members for information. 

February is also Dental Health Month.  I will be doing a couple of talks at area elementary schools teaching 5-7 year olds on proper brushing techniques. This is also a good time for each of us to re-examine our oral hygiene habits.  I'm sure that there is room for improvement for all of us, including ME!

Well, it's been a while since I've done this last.  Actually forgot what username this was under, so now that I have it, you know what we do......we write it down.  Very similar experience that I had with my dry cleaning.  I was able to pick up shirts from November 2011 with a phone number that I hadn't use in a while.  2011!!!  Okay file that under "Didn't really need to know" stuff. 

This has been a very exciting last half of the year here at DO.  We have hired three new team members!  Heather has been helping us in the operatory since September and has done an outstanding job.  We hired Kristal as our scheduling coordinator two weeks ago and will welcome Lane as our Public Relations Coordinator in January. 

Kathy Boykin's last day is today.  She has been working in the orthodontic field for over 30 years.  She has been my office manager for 12.  She is leaving a legacy here and will be deeply missed.  She will be enjoying her time off with her husband and visiting with those three grandbabies she has. 

I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and a properous new year (that is if the Myans don't get us..... only 12 more hours till 12/21/12).  I'll update you on some new and exciting developments that will be happening with Davis Orthodontics when we get back from the break!

Welcome to Davis Orthodontics's first blog post.  This is a new thing for me and we will have to see how well it goes.  This summer is running by fast. We have done so much this summer for our practice and patients that it all is starting to run together.  I have to thank everyone on the participation of our summer contest - the "You Brushed Where?" picture contest.  To be honest, we all were a little worried at the beginning of the summer when there were no pictures sent.  But you guys went full steam ahead in July and we have got some remarkable pictures.  The best is that it gives us an insight into your private lives and lets us know what things you enjoy (other than coming to visit us). It is going to be hard to decide on who wins. 

I have been hard at work in my "extra" time (haha) perfecting a new website, which I guess that most of you found this blog through the new site.  I am very proud of this site and hope that you all will find very useful and fun information on it.  Along with that we are starting our patient reward program, called Patient Hub.  You will be able to earn points everytime you come into the office to redeem for iTunes cards, Best Buy cards, Amazon card, Target cards, etc.  There are so many choices to name.  I hope that you get excited as well all are when this program starts. 

Well I'm gonna post this to see if it works.  Check back for more information.
