Ask Dr. Badalamenti: why is continuing education so important?

We participate in continuing education as a regular part of our professional development. Most of us that work at Dr. Badalamenti's office have licenses that we update yearly with educational credits. Continuing education is something we value and enjoy.

Dr. Badalamenti recently attended a course in Dallas to improve lingual (inside) braces with computerized SureSmile treatment. The great success we have had with SureSmile treatment is something we can offer in many different types of appliances. Dr. Badalamenti is committed to the best treatment available for our patients.

What do Dr. B and our staff love about St. Clair?

Recently, Dr. Badalamenti and our team were asked: "What's the greatest thing about our town? What do you love about St. Clair?"

And here's our answer:

Lucky us......living so near the water. Lake St. Clair is not one of the Great Lakes, but it helps to connect a couple of them. We have a few main roads that go near the shoreline, so you can get a nice view now and then as you travel in this area. That is one of the perks of living here. We still have public access for boats and fishing, as well as winter sports like ice fishing and skating. Many outdoor activities take place all year long-the winter does not put a damper on outdoor activities available. One of the tried and true sayings we grow up with in Michigan is: "If you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes and it will change!!!"

Maybe some of you could fill in the blanks about favorite eating spots? We have many in this area. Lots of diverse food choices. Post your answer on our Facebook page and have a wonderful weekend!

What's happening at our office?

Happy Tuesday! We have just finished our calendar contest for our 2011 calendar. We had a lot of entries this year. Our patients are very talented and creative. If any patients missed this year's deadline, and would like to enter for 2012 calendar - we are now taking entries.

We hope all our patients of school age have a great school year. We have many patients involved in school activities, and would like them to share any news with us regarding their achievements or school activities on our interactive Facebook page! We hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!
