Tell Dr. Farina what’s on your mind!

Week after week, Dr. Farina and team blog about important topics pertinent to orthodontic treatment care and your well-being, including innovative orthodontic techniques Dr. Farina offers. This week, we thought we’d step back and ask you, our wonderful patients and readers: what’s on your mind? What would you like to know about the always-changing field of orthodontics? What would you like us to focus on our blog in the coming months? Perhaps there’s something you’ve wanted to ask us for a while now? Let us know by posting here or on our Facebook page!

So… take it away and we’ll try to answer any questions you may have! Also, our thoughts are with the students, teachers and parents of everyone heading back to school in the coming days and weeks. May it be a great school year for everyone, learn a lot and have FUN! From Dr. Farina & our entire team.

Smile wide! It's National Smile Week!


It’s National Smile Week, and a GREAT time to remind our patients at Farina Orthodontics 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)!


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!

- Dr. Farina and team
