Bruner Orthodontics gives back to our local Redmond Elementary Schools! This year the Bruner Orthodontic team went into 15 classrooms to speak to 1st and 2nd graders at Redmond Elementary, Norman Rockwell Elementary and Alcott Elementary schools.

We spent time teaching them about making healthy choices. We didn’t talk to them about braces or orthodontics. We didn’t talk about invisalign or even the benefits of straight teeth. We talked to the kids in each classroom for 20 minutes about having healthy teeth and a healthy life. We made it fun and interesting for the kids. Some of the kids dressed up as dentists as we talked about what happens at a dental appointment.

In school they are learning about making good decisions, like following their teacher’s instructions. We stressed the need for them to make good decisions about their teeth and health. We taught them how to brush and floss properly, explained the importance of seeing their dentist for regular cleanings and exams, and reviewed which foods are the healthiest for their teeth. Everyone had a great time!! 320 kids went home armed with enthusiasm and information to help them take care of their smiles. They also took home a waterbottle full of toothpaste, floss, a toothbrush, chapstick and information for their parents.

We love to serve the community we are in and we cant wait to get back into the classrooms again next year!
