November is here, and—believe it or not—we’re almost in full holiday mode! But before we forget about the spooky month that just wrapped up, we’d like to know how you celebrated Halloween! What did you wear? Did you have fun?

If you have any photos or videos that you would like to share with us, please send them our way or feel free to post them on our Facebook page! We hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween!

Before you go: Have you been in for a dental checkup lately? It’s important that you see your dentist as well as visiting Dr. Rooney during your orthodontic treatment. If you have questions about your treatment or just want some general information, give us a call or stop by for a visit! Happy Monday!

This upcoming Thursday - October 28th, don't be surprised if you see Dr. Rooney walking around your school and peeking into your classroom!

On Thursday, Dr. Rooney, Jen and Denise are going to visit Austin Road Elementary School to talk about National Orthodontic Health Month. Dr. Rooney and staff will talk to the kids about having good oral hygiene, and about getting braces. He will also discuss oral health problems to watch out for at an early age.

Be sure to write down your questions for us, and Dr. Rooney will be happy to answer! See you on Thursday!!

We hope you're having a great Monday!

October is National Orthodontic Health Month, and our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists have included information on protecting your braces, including tips for trick-or-treaters, braces-friendly Halloween recipes, facts about braces and treats you should avoid while wearing braces.

Dr. Sean Rooney and our staff recommend you check out the AAO's website as well for helpful tips on keeping your braces in tip-top shape. If you have any follow-up questions, please feel free to give us a call at 845-621-1222, ask us on Facebook or ask Dr. Rooney during your visit at our convenient Mahopac office!

Have a great rest of the week!

Dr. Rooney just completed the Ironman Syracuse 70.3 - the race consisted of a 1.2 mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride and a 13.1 mile run. We had a raffle in the office for the patients to take a guess of how long it would take Dr. Rooney to complete it. One of our patients, Carissa was lucky enough to guess it right on the dot! She guessed 5 hours and 36 minutes and won a $50 visa gift card and a T-shirt! Great job, Carissa!
