Patient Convenience at Romani Orthodontics

At Romani Orthodontics, we strive to make your visit to our office an enjoyable and convenient one, so accessibility is one of our biggest priorities. Our two offices are scheduled so that patients experiencing a problem can always receive attention from our team at one of our locations. Dr. Romani is also available after hours for emergency appointments.

We are now more available than ever, and are answering the phones Mondays through Fridays, 8-5 pm. This includes the lunch hour for all our busy parents and adult patients to connect with us.

Our office is entirely digital, meaning that we can access patients records, treatment information, photos and radiographs ("x-rays") from either location, which means that patients will always receive the same level of care regardless of the office they are at. The team also travels between the two offices, meaning that you will always receive the same level of care from the same friendly faces on each visit to Romani Orthodontics.

As a patient, it is easy for you to view your account information, including upcoming appointments, by logging on to our secure web site. We even send out email reminders for appointments to keep up with your busy schedule.

Dr. Romani to Host Garden Dedication at Ponaganset Middle School

Community involvement is a big part of our mission here at Romani Orthodontics. Next week, on Thursday, June 17th, Dr. Romani will be sponsoring the dedication cookout for Ponaganset Middle School's new Welcome Garden. The new garden is situated at the entrance of the school, and will include native plants from the community, making it a National Wildlife Federation Certified garden. The cookout will be from 5-7pm at the middle school, and the entire faculty will be helping out by cooking and serving food for attendees.

If you were planning to attend this event, please make sure to RSVP with the school. We hope to see you there!

June is the National Smile Month!

Now that we’re in June, the Romani Orthodontics Team thought we’d tell you June is National Smile Month, and a good time to remind all our patients to practice good oral hygiene, especially while in orthodontic treatment. According to our friends at the American Dental Association, a person's smile outranked eyes, hair and body as the most important physical feature!

Here are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health during your treatment so that you may celebrate National Smile Month for many, many years to come:

* Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Here's a helpful clip showing you how to brush with your braces on.
* Floss every day to clean between your teeth.
* Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks during your orthodontic treatment.
* Visit your general dentist regularly (usually every six months apart) in addition to your regularly schedule appointments here at Romani Orthodontics.

Have a wonderful weekend!
