The dog days of summer are upon us, and what better time for our team at Hawks Prairie Orthodontics to ask our patients about their summer!

Whether you visited our nation’s capitol, went on a camping trip, visited the state fair or just stayed in town and hung out with friends, we want to know how you’re all spending your summer! Please feel free to share your summer plans and experiences with us below or on our Facebook page as the summer comes to an end soon for a lot of our patients at Hawks Prairie Orthodontics! We invite you to post your photos as well!

We look forward to hearing all about your adventures! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

It’s National Smile Week at Hawks Prairie Orthodontics, and a GREAT time to remind Dr. Ehrmantrout's patients to practice good oral hygiene to keep those teeth shining during your orthodontic treatment!

Here are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health so that you may celebrate National Smile Week for many, many years to come:

* Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.

* Floss everyday to clean between your teeth and braces.

* Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks during your orthodontic treatment

* Visit your dentist regularly (every 6 months or as recommended by your dentist)!

If you have questions about any of these tips, we encourage you to give us a call, ask Dr. Ehrmantrout during your next visit ... or ask us on Facebook!

And remember to smile at people you come across throughout the week, whether you know them or not. Smiles are contagious, and are a good thing to give and to get. We hope you’re all having a relaxing summer!

Hello everyone, we just wanted to let you all know about our new Groupon ad going out this Thursday 8-4-11 until Saturday 8-6-11. This is a great opportunity for new patients, so if you have any family or friends that are interested in Invisalign or Invisalign Teen, then all they have to do is get on Groupon and create an account. It is an awesome opportunity and is only valid for those three days!

Thank you all, have a wonderful day!

-Dr. Ehrmantrout and Team!

We hope you’re off to a great summer so far! If you are planning on traveling with family this summer or think you might not be able to make it to your scheduled adjustment appointment at our Lacey or Olympia office, please let us know ahead of time so that we may be able to accommodate you, as well as schedule another patient with Dr. Ehrmantrout at that appointment time.

Also, we ask that you give us a call and let us know if you have any new phone numbers or if your contact information has changed! Please call us with any updates to phone numbers and addresses, so we may be able to reach you. Thank you! Enjoy the rest of your week!
