October 8th, 2015

NEW PATIENT EXAMS!

We all know that there are plenty of stresses that come with deciding if you or your child needs braces or Invisalign and that there are a TON of questions you may have.

Magness Orthodontics is here to make that all easier with our FREE exams and x-rays! We try and make it as easy on our patients and there pockets as best as we can.

Are New Patient Exams range from one hour to one hour and a half. You may be thinking “WOW, that’s a long time! I don’t know if I can pull my child out of school for that long.” But we Promise you will leave here with all questions answered plus more information that you probably didn’t know. They are also set up this way to make sure nobody feels rushed! We want you and your family to be able to ask any questions and get the full explanation of treatment and the payment plan so that you do not leave our office confused.

In our New Patient Exams you can expect to meet with our AMAZING Treatment Coordinator Cindy  who will show you around the office and make sure you feel at home when you are in our office. You will also meet with the man who does it all Dr. Marc who will come up with the best treatment plan for you.

We are also open on some student holidays as well!

BACK TO SCHOOL!

August 13th, 2015

Its that time of year again!

Where we have to wake up early, go to school, and come home and do homework. 

BUT just because we are going to school doesn’t mean we forget about our Orthodontic Care!

Here is a couple things to remember: 

* NEVER take any appliance out and put it in a napkin! 

*ALWAYS have your retainer case! 

(If you need one stop by our offices! They are FREE)

*PACK a small tooth brush and tooth paste in your backpack so just in case you need to brush after lunch!

*BRING you school excuse for your orthodontic appointments!

* WEAR a mouth guard when playing physical sports! (You do NOT want to injure your mouth or braces)

*WEAR your appliance while you are in school , if that’s what the doctor has told you to do!

(You maybe embarrassed but 90% of kids have gone through orthodontics or will be going through it soon)

* BRING your lunch if your mouth is sore from your previous appointment! We NEVER want you to go hungry! 

** AND AND MOST OF ALL  TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT MAGNESS ORTHODONTICS**

Have a great school year!

What To EAT With That Sore Mouth?!?!

June 22nd, 2015

HELLO!

Here at Dr. Marc’s office, we ALWAYS have patients coming in and out with sore mouths, because they have new braces, or new wires, or new appliances in their mouth that their teeth are not used to! And just because you have a sore mouth doesn’t mean your stomach has decided its not hungry. So we have decided to make a list of some of the foods you can eat throughout the day that should help with that hungry feeling.

So lets star with breakfast;

*Smoothies

*Eggs

*Yogurt

* Cereal

*French Toast

*Oatmeal/Grits

On to Lunch and Dinner;

*Cooked Veggies

*Soup

* Mac N Cheese

*Rice

And of course everyone’s favorite Desserts and Snacks;

* Ice Cream

*Pudding

*Applesauce

* Jello

*Saltine Crackers

* Cookies (with milk so they get mushy)

Remember, you can add milk or juice to most food and cook any veggies to make them mushy and easier to eat when your mouth is sore.

You can also shred and cut any fruit or veggie to make it easier to eat!
