Practice Events

We believe at bluegrass Orthodontics that children’s teeth are meant to last a lifetime and a healthy smile is very important to a child’s self esteem. With proper brushing and flossing along with eating a balanced diet and visiting the dentist two times a year children can achieve this goal! Therefore, during the month of February Dr. Ferguson and Liz Maskos visited some area schools in Lexington, Kentucky to help educate children about the importance of dental health. Take a look at some of the pictures from their exciting visits.

We need your help! Do you think you have a great name for our newsletter? If so, write it down on an entry form before March 31st. The most creative entry will become the title of our Newsletter. The winner will also win a $25.00 gift card to Barnes and Noble.

2. Elf: Buddy leaves the Northpole to find his real Dad

Deborah from Drs. Smith and Steckler’s office was the 1st quarterly referring office winner!

Her name was chosen at random and won a digital picture frame to keep all her pictures of beautiful smiles in.

If your name was not chosen this time- don’t worry another raffle will be held in May. I can’t tell you what the gift will be, but here’s a hint:

"Shopping just got a little easier!"

Good luck to all everyone in our wonderful referring offices. We truly appreciate everything you do for us!
