This Year, Make a New Year’s Resolution to Smile About!

Let’s face it- when was the last time you managed to keep a New Year’s resolution? We at Baker Orthodontics believe the key to sticking to a goal is picking one that is both reasonable and attainable. If you haven’t yet picked a New Year’s resolution, consider setting one that will improve your oral health!

For example, resolve to brush twice and floss once a day. Good oral hygiene only takes a few minutes a day, and can make a big difference in your oral health and overall health too! For more oral health-themed resolutions for you and your family, check out this article.

We would love to see what you come up with, share with us by commenting on this post or on our Facebook page. Whatever your New Year’s Resolution, we wish you the very best for 2011!

-Happy New Year, from your friends at Baker Orthodontics

Baker Orthodontics partners with SDSU for the Healthy Smiles program

Dr. Baker and his orthodontic team are currently partnering with the San Diego State University (SDSU) Healthy Smiles program to help educate and promote healthy lifestyles and habits for teens. The two-year program provides positive reinforcement to young kids in effort of increasing their healthy eating, physical activity, and tobacco avoidance.

Donna, our registered dental hygienist, was recently quoted in a SDSU article, saying “We have had nothing but positive feedback from both patients and their parents.”

As an orthodontic office, Dr. Baker and our team appreciate the opportunity to talk with our patients about important health issues. For more information on the Healthy Smiles program, and orthodontic treatment options at our office, be sure to give us a call!
