We wish you a happy, safe, enjoyable and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

Dischinger Orthodontics, supporting National Physical Fitness and Sports Month

Did you know the month of May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month? Twenty seven years ago, President Reagan encouraged Americans - young and older - to incorporate more activity into their lives, and the reminder is even more important in this day and age, as kids everywhere are distracted more and more by TV, social networking and video games. Drs. Dischinger and our team will tell you that children and teens living an active lifestyle can improve their health, productivity and overall well-being.

At Dischinger Orthodontics, we always encourage our patients to stay fit by exercising or participating in sports. However, we want to remind you to always wear a mouth guard or other forms of facial protection when playing sports. To learn more about how often your child should exercise, we recommend you check out this series of helpful articles about kids and exercise, courtesy of our friends at KidsHealth.org.

And thanks to everyone who came to Prom Night yesterday! It was great to see you all!!
