Come to the Whitlock Safari!


CRIKEY, we love our patients!

Slap on some cargo shorts and hiking boots, toss in a pair of binoculars and come on down to the Whitlock Safari! The Wild Wilderness Safari, along with the Little Pony Express is taking over Whitlock Orthodontics on Wednesday, June 24, 2009 from 4PM – 7PM at our Springdale office.

Come play with wild exotic animals, take a ride on a pony, get your face painted, and stuff your face with hot dogs, funnel cake and ice cold lemonade! (All braces friendly we might add!) We are going to have tons of door prizes! So bring your friends!

It’s fun for the whole family on June 24 here at Whitlock Orthodontics, so bring all of those brothers and sisters! Our Super Cool Kids Club will be set up to reveal its fun loving mascot Buckley the Beaver, and accept new patients too! You never know what is going to happen next here at Whitlock Orthodontics, but one thing is for sure—it’s going to be fun!

How To Stay Young And Healthy from Whitlock Orthodontics


Whether you’re 5 or 50, your health depends on your awareness of what’s good for you. But in a world filled with fad diets, blaring advertisements, and unintelligible ingredient lists, we at Whitlock Orthodontics know it can be difficult to determine exactly what is good for you – and what’s not.

For straightforward guidance on how to live a long, healthy life, we recommend Brush Your Teeth! And Other Simple Ways to Stay Young and Healthy by Dr. David Ostreicher. The book sums up good health in six fundamental principles: hygiene, diet, attitude, exercise, sleep and personal safety.

Drawing on nearly three decades of experience as an orthodontist and professor of health and nutrition, Dr. Ostreicher definitively answers age-old debates, like the best way to prevent colds and flu (your mom was right: wash your hands). He provides straight talk on a variety of diet choices including salt, fats, carbs and organic food, and he documents the importance of regular sleep, stress reduction and positive thinking to your overall health. His suggestions throughout are simple, clear, and inexpensive.

Dr. Ostreicher advocates a back-to-basics, common-sense approach to staying young and healthy. We at Whitlock Orthodontics couldn’t agree more, and we’d like to repeat the title of his book as our favorite piece of advice: don’t forget to Brush Your Teeth!
