Cold and Flu Season……

Posted by NettOrtho in orthodontics on January 19, 2011

It’s that time of year again…cold and flu season! To promote healthy and clean environment in our office, we give a great deal of attention to sanitation and sterilization at all times.

For the protection of other patients and Dr. Nett and his staff, we always ask that patients reschedule their appointments if they have ANY type of cold or illness that can infect others.

Maintaining and protecting your toothbrush is also important to stay healthy during this flu season. To protect your toothbrush from harmful bacteria follow these simple steps:

• Wash your hands before and after brushing

• Allow the brush to air dry after each use, harmful bacteria dies after being exposed to oxygen

• Store the toothbrush in an upright position to allow water to drain so your toothbrush will dry faster

• Replace your toothbrush after every cold or flu or every 3-4 months when bristles appear worn

Hope this helps all of our patients or potential patients to stay healthy!!

December 2011 Share-A-Smile Winner

Posted by NettOrtho in fun, orthodontics on January 16, 2011

Congratulations Nicole & Our Runner Up Winners!

Nicole Santoro was the winner of the “Share A Smile” referral program! Each time any one of our patients refer someone to our office for an orthodontic evaluation by Dr. Nett, their name goes into a drawing. On December 15th, we had a random drawing and Nicole was our lucky winner. In appreciation for the referrals, Nicole got a $250 gift card to any restaurant or store of HER choice! Nicole choose to get a gift card to Costco where she plans to possibly purchase a computer or one of their notebooks. Congratulations Nicole and thanks again for referring your friends to us for their orthodontic needs. We appreciate the compliment very much!

In addition to Nicole Santoro being the 1st Place winner, we also had three Runner Up winners!! Hannah Gohlke, Phoebe Berka and Jesse De Clair each received a Harkin’s movie cup, along with Harkin movie passes and candy to enjoy while at their movie. Our next drawing will be on June 14, 2012. If you know someone who is interested in “remodeling” their smile, have them call our office to schedule a NO CHARGE orthodontic evaluation. If they tell us that you referred them, you too will be entered in our next drawing for a chance to win an awesome prize! You can refer more than one patient which will increase your chance of being our next lucky winner. In addition to creating beautiful smiles, we want to make your experience in our office memorable and have fun along the way too!

A HUGE “thank you” to all of you who have referred someone to our office, as that is the greatest compliment we can receive!!
