Memorial Day weekend, a time to remember and honor the men and women lost while serving for our country. Memorial Day is also the unofficial start of summer, and for many folks in our community, getting out of town for three days after being cooped up in the classroom or the office spells sweet, sweet relief.

What about you? What are you up to this Memorial Day weekend? Whether you are headed to a barbecue, a camping trip, or just hitting the great American open roads, we’d like to hear all about it!

Our entire team at Newhart Orthodontics wishes you a happy, safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

Dr. Newhart & team recently made a donation to a silent auction at the school of one of our patients. The school’s committee send us the following thank you to us, and we wanted to share it with you all. We love to give back to our local communities!

Thank you so much for your wonderfully generous donation to our daughters’ charter school’s Silent Auction! It is so commendable that you give back to the community — it makes us even happier to be affiliated with your terrific practice. We’ll treasure our daughter’s smile that much more…

A personal testimonial: thanks to Dr. Newhart our daughter’s teeth are a true work of art! Dr. Newhart specializes in kids (of ALL ages) and is great with them. He has five offices from Beverly Hills to Santa Monica, but one conveniently located in the medical building at 321 N. Larchmont Blvd. He personally attends to every child, and our daughter loves him! Know you are supporting a wonderful, high-achieving public charter school — right around the corner from your office! Thanks so much, and best regards,

Tony G.

At Newhart Orthodontics, we know image is everything. At an age when image is so important, the thought of having braces may intensify the already-delicate confidence of today’s teens. Well, May is National Teen Self-Esteem Month, and during this time, parents are encouraged to act as positive role models, help stop negative self-images, and improve confidence and security among teenagers.

One of the great ways to improve your confidence is to improve your smile. And that begins with a free consultation at our office. After all, what better time to avoid having crooked teeth in your adulthood than coming in for a consultation with Dr. Newhart?

We proudly provide traditional braces and Invisalign Teen for today’s image-conscious teens.

We invite you to give us a call to schedule a complimentary consultation or ask us on Facebook!

With the school year close to winding down for a lot of our patients at Newhart Orthodontics, we wanted to remind all our patients about the importance of reading. Sure it’s easy to keep putting off reading this time of year, but reading is a vital step in brain development and literacy. And if you needed any more reason to read, May marks “Get Caught Reading Month.”

Today, we thought we’d ask: What’s on YOUR reading list? What are some of your all-time favorites? Out of ideas for great reads? Ask us for suggestions, and Dr. Newhart and our team would be happy to provide a few. You may also ask a local librarian for some ideas on what to read next!

Happy reading! Be sure to share with us your book picks or your all-time favorite novels or literature on our Facebook page!
