Upcoming and Past Events at Berky Orthodontics

Part of our goal here at Berky Orthodontics is to ensure your treatment with us is enjoyable and fun! Each month, we like to hold some sort of contest or drawing for our patients, and we are excited to announce some of our plans for this summer!

In May, we awarded four patients with Wet & Wild Water Park season passes. Just this past month, We had a drawing for Dr. Berky's referring general dentist's offices and their staff in Greensboro & High Point. We gave out four beach bags filled with summer-time goodies. Congratulations to the following winners:

Dr. Claire Wilson - Lynette Whitt
Drs. McGhee & Brandyberry - Renee White
Drs. Goldenberg, Applebaum, & Pierce - Melissa Victorelli
Drs. Hanna & Weston - Nikki Price

The winners of our June Win-Win Drawing were Ben, a patient at Dr. Berky's office, and Tonia from Dr. Beshears' office. In July, we plan to give four lucky patients family NC Zoo memberships.

Berky Orthodontics Reminding you to Smile! Its National Smile Month!

It’s June already! Where does the time go?

Dr. Berky and team are excited to tell you June marks National Smile Month, a great time to remind our patients to brush, floss, practice good nutrition at home (and over the summer) to avoid cavities and gum disease, among other dental health issues.

After all, there’s more and more evidence that suggests folks with gum disease are more at risk for serious health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and strokes.

Here are a few easy steps you can improve your oral health at home:

* 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 orthodontic treatment.
* Visit your general dentist regularly (usually every six months apart).

If you have questions about any of the tips here, we encourage you to give us a call! We hope you had a relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

SureSmile makes the rounds on ABC’s “The Doctors”


On a recent episode of ABC's "The Doctors," Dr. Thomas Lee of Oxnard, California, was interviewed in front of a live audience and demonstrated SureSmile technology and discussed treatment benefits for orthodontists and their patients. Dr. Lee's 14-year-old patient, Nina, who had just completed SureSmile treatment, was part of the segment as well, and spoke positively about her SureSmile treatment experience.

SureSmile is a software program that facilitates the precise positioning of a patient’s teeth placement for orthodontic braces. Did you know Dr. Berky is a certified SureSmile provider? Give us a call or check out our web site to learn more about SureSmile at Berky Orthodontics!
