Why Is It So Important To Have Straight Teeth? Dr. Doleac explains

Some people wonder why we work so hard to give our patients straight teeth. Of course it’s nice to have a smile full of evenly aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime.

Straight teeth are less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque – the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay; and they are easier to keep clean!

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, give us a call at 503-200-2536 to set up a consultation. Dr. Doleac can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.

Dr. Doleac at West Point

Dr. Doleac was recently back at West Point with his wife, Marge, for an Advisory Board meeting of the Association of Graduates. While he was there, General Patton's statue, which had been in hiding since the new library, Jefferson Hall, was under construction, was just relocated to its present position with Patton's back to the library. That is appropriate as Patton, who graduated last in his class, probably never entered the library while a cadet. For that matter, neither did Dr. Doleac.



Dr. Doleac will be back at West Point in October for the annual National Conference on Ethics in America (NCEA) which is sponsored by his class (The Class of 1970). Please ask Dr. Doleac about West Point when you are in the office, especially if you have an interest in applying for admission. The time to open a file for admission is during your junior year of high school!
