Back to school with Dr. Beth Faber

With many of the schools in Tappahannock and Kilmarnock back in session, Dr. Beth Faber and our staff would like to remind all of our patients about the importance of scheduling appointments in advance. With school, clubs and sports to consider, we know that it can be challenging to find time to visit Faber Orthodontics this fall. In order to accommodate all of our patients' busy schedules, it is important that you plan ahead for your appointments so that we are able to provide you with an appointment time that is convenient for you.

As always, please remember to give us advanced notice if you're unable to make your regularly-scheduled appointment. If we receive enough notice, we might be able to schedule another patient for that time. Feel free to give us a call at (804) 443-6419 if you have any questions, or if you would like to schedule your fall appointment.

Have a great week, and we look forward to seeing you!

The importance of mouth guards, from Dr. Beth Faber

With summer here for another seven weeks or so, Dr. Beth Faber and our entire staff would like to take this time to remind all our young athletes in orthodontic treatment to take care of both your mouth and appliances while participating in contact sports (and non-contact sports) this summer. Remember, only by using a mouth guard can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. The next time you're in for a visit with Dr. Beth, be sure to ask her for a mouth guard!

Have a fun and enjoyable weekend, and we hope you're having a wonderful summer!
