Ask Dr. Studebaker: Why are regular checkups so important?


Dr. Robert Studebaker and our staff want to know: Are you brushing and flossing daily properly during your orthodontic treatment? If the answer is yes, that’s wonderful! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for you to visit your general dentist every 3-to-6 months in addition to brushing your teeth and flossing (and visiting our office, of course). Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health, especially during orthodontic treatment.

Your general dentist can check for problems that might not be seen or felt, detect cavities and early signs of decay, treat oral health problems early and show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth.

During an oral exam your dentist can check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing. If you have not been to the dentist in the last six months, let us know during your next visit and Dr. Studebaker will provide a few great references in Spring, Klein, Tomball or The Woodlands! We hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

This summer, what's on your reading list?

With summer only two days away, our staff at Studebaker Orthodontics have been thinking more and more about the importance of summer reading for the teens and young people at our practice. Of course it’s easier for today's teens to go play ball or kick back and watch TV, but our staff will always tell you that reading during the summer is a key step in being prepared for classes in the fall and maintaining your skill level!

Out of ideas for great summer reads? Ask us for suggestions, and our staff (as well as Dr. Studebaker) would be happy to provide a few great titles for you. You may also ask a local librarian here in Spring for some ideas or check out various summer reading lists from Barnes & Noble that we came across on Friday.

Happy reading everyone and happy Father's Day weekend to all the wonderful dads who come to our office week after week!
