For those who don’t know, October is National Orthodontic Health Month.
This is a month long event organized by the American Association
of Orthodontists, or AAO. During October, members of the American
Association of Orthodontists (AAO) conduct a wide range of activities to
educate dentist, orthodontists and their patients about protecting their
teeth during Halloween, as well as share information about the benefi ts of
orthodontic treatment.

Drs. Nelson “Nick” Hersh, Marsha Beattie and Amy Isenberg realize that
this is a great opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of oral
hygiene. National Orthodontic Health Month also aims to recognize the
dedicated work of orthodontists like Drs. Hersh, Beattie & Isenberg
