WELCOME DR. ESCOBAR! 🎉
It’s with great pleasure that I introduce you all to Dr. Rick Escobar! I’ve known Dr. Escobar for over 2 years now and am thrilled to announce that he is going to be joining our practice as a full-time orthodontist. Our team is excited to have him joining us, and he is excited to meet you all too.
Dr. Escobar grew up in Tampa where he attended Christ the King and Jesuit High School. He did his pre-dental work at SMU in Dallas before going to dental school at Nova Southeastern in South Florida. He’s finishing up with orthodontic training at the University of Colorado in a few weeks and will be here in March!
You’ll always be able to request a certain day or doctor to see you, but we hope that the added convenience of additional days per week in each office will bring more feasible options for your busy schedule. I’m confident that you’ll enjoy meeting Dr. Escobar, and I’m confident that he’s going to help to make our great orthodontic practice even better! Thank you for helping us to welcome him in the the Amley Mc Ortho family!
Sincerely,
Clay McEntire
✨ SPRING CLEAN✨ your Oral Hygiene Routine!
While it is the time of year we often find ourselves decluttering our closets and dusting off the cobwebs in our homes, have you considered sprucing up your dental hygiene routine as well?
Below are a few tips you can use to spring into action! 🪥
Brush Up on Proper Brushing Techniques - Make sure you are brushing your teeth 2x a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush. When brushing with braces, be sure to target above, below and on top of the brackets and wires for an exceptional clean!
Floss like a Boss - Make it a habit to floss at least once a day. We spend so much time focusing on our brushing, sometimes flossing is overlooked. Flossing is a step to always remember to reduce redness and inflammation of the gums. If you have a hard time flossing with your braces, let one of our team members know at your next appointment - we would love to help you!
Schedule your Dental Spring Cleaning - While Dr. McEntire and Dr. Escobar are working hard to straighten your teeth, it is crucial to check in with your General or Pediatric Dentist for a good cleaning. Regular cleanings help prevent cavities and ensure good overall oral health!
No ifs, ands, or putts about it, Topgolf with the team is always a great idea!
Thank you Dr. McEntire for a great afternoon! ⛳️
