Is It Time For Your Child's Vision Exam? |
|
 Did
you know? Kids should have a complete vision exam by an optometrist or
ophthalmologist every 2 years. Please do not rely solely on your child’s
school vision screening because A National Institutes of Health study
found that school screenings miss more than 50% of vision problems,
yikes!
Also, were you aware that some kids are actually misdiagnosed as having
learning disabilities like ADHD when in fact, they’re really just having
trouble with their vision, yikes again!
There’s something more we want you to know. The American Optometric
Association states, “even if no eye or vision problems are apparent, at
about age 6 months, you should take your baby to your doctor of
optometry for his or her first thorough eye examination.”
For your child’s first vision exam the optometrist or ophthalmologist
will be evaluating the following: excessive or unequal amounts of
nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, eye movement ability,
eye health problems.
These problems are not common, but it is important to identify children
who have them at this young age. Vision development and eye health
problems are easier to correct if treatment begins early.
 So don’t wait any
longer. Visit www.aoa.org or call your
pediatrician for a referral to outstanding optometrist or
ophthalmologist.

Dr. Stella’s Product of
the Month |
 
Dr. Stella loves this product because it delivers results that you and
your dentist will notice. Research findings have shown 34% less gingival
bleeding versus a regular manual toothbrush. No other brush performs
like this one. The stand-alone SmartGuide has technology that helps
guide you to better brushing behavior. It comes with a timer that
provides visual guidance and timing to promote proper brushing; 5
brushing modes deliver a customized brushing experience; and the
pressure sensor alert brightly displays a warning when brushing too
hard. All of this adds up to a difference in your brushing habits: Plus,
an extra 3-minute mode on the SmartGuide encourages longer brushing for
patients with persistent gingivitis.

Dear Parents & Caregivers,
Now is the time to think about "Open Enrollment" for Dental Insurance
and it is also the time to prepare your Flex Spending Accounts for the
coming year.
Most businesses have the month of October as the time to make changes to
your dental plan that will become effective in January. Often, we find
that people seem to think they know what they have signed up for, only
to find out they wished they had chosen the other insurance for their
orthodontic needs. Sometimes this mistake can delay treatment for a full
year.
We would like to help you in making the best choice. Please call the
office now for your FREE orthodontic exam appointment. At this
appointment Dr. Sanjideh (our incredible orthodontist) will do a
complete exam and let you know if treatment is recommended. Also,
Veronica or Zulma (our wonderful treatment coordinators) will go over
your expenses to help you prepare your finances and insurance choices.
In addition, having an orthodontic exam appointment before January 2012
can help prepare you for your medical and dental taxed free savings
known as
Flex Spending Accounts or Cafeteria Plans.
Tell a friend too! They would be grateful that you reminded them about
their benefit.
Best,
Dr. Bob Stella
