Summer is over and now we are getting back into the swing of things for the Fall. Sports, School, upcoming holidays etc are quickly approaching and are all on the forefront of our minds and schedules! But, don't forget about your teeth! Make sure you fit time in to schedule you or your child's orthodontic exam/consultation (ideally starting at age 7 and up) and orthodontic adjustments if you are in braces/aligners already before your schedule of Fall activities gets filled up!

Don't trust your smile to just anyone! Make sure you seek the care of a Certified Orthodontist to ensure a healthy and beautiful smile. Dr. Hughes is one of only a few board certified orthodontists in the Metrowest area. Board Certification is a voluntary process which orthodontists go through after they receive their orthodontic degrees and it helps to ensure that they are up to date on all the current research, have the highest of orthodontic standards for completing cases and are passionate about their profession and maintaining high quality care for you and your family. Check out our website link to the American Board of Orthodontists

Diagnosing Sleep disorders such as sleep apnea in children is a critical thing for their overall mental and physical health and well-being! Did you know that if your child has sleep apnea, it can impair their organ health long-term and has been linked to attention issues in school? If you think your child has some of the signs and symptoms of a sleep disorder, contact your pediatrician for a consult. They may refer you for a sleep study as well. If your child is diagnosed with sleep apnea, an expander is a critical orthodontic appliance used to improve their breathing ability through their nose. Don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions regarding this very importance health issue that has become more and more recognized in our population today.

Our office is a small local practice and so we love to support the local schools and charitable events that go on in and around Natick. This year we have participated in the Brown Wicked Fun Road Race, The Jingle Bell Run, Donated Dental Hygiene goody bags to the Brown Elementary School, sponsored the PanMass Challenge, ran a table at the Natick Organic Farm's Spring Spectacular and will help to sponsor Scoopapalooza in June. We also love to support the Drama Workshops in Natick and Framingham and the local sports teams!
