Don't Forget...
Dr. Paul Styrt and Dr. Allen Job, serving San Diego, La Jolla and surrounding areas, have been receiving some great patient reviews lately! Check out what our current patients are saying about our office! 
Great question- thank you! Fall is upon us, and with it comes the dreaded cold and flu season. After recovering from your cold, Dr. Paul Styrt will tell you one of the most important steps you can take to avoid becoming reinfected is replacing your toothbrush!
This week marks National Young Reader's Week, and during this time, Dr. Paul Styrt will tell you it’s more important than ever to remind your child to read on a regular basis. After all, reading helps kids develop the mind, expands a child’s knowledge base, activates his or her flow of ideas and boosts their confidence. Plus, reading is fun!
At the office of Dr. Paul Styrt, we value the relationships we have developed with our patients in San Diego and surrounding communities. Even if you only see us for your appointment on a regular basis, did you know that you can now connect with Drs. Styrt and Job & staff on our Facebook page?
We always get why we work so tirelessly to give our patients straight teeth. Of course it’s great to have a smile full of evenly-aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth at our San Diego office can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime!
Week after week, Dr. Paul Styrt and our creative team at Simply Spectacular Smiles blog about important topics pertinent to orthodontic treatment care and your well-being, including innovative orthodontic techniques we offer at our convenient San Diego office.
At the office of Dr. Paul Styrt, we know that gingivitis - the early stage of periodontal disease - can be difficult to recognize. Many people don't recognize the warning signs - bleeding and swollen gums, as a precursor to gum disease. This month, a national campaign is under way to raise awareness about gum health and periodontal disease, and we wanted to help do our part to spread the word!
With summer here for just three more full weeks, it's a good time for Dr. Paul Styrt and Dr. Allen Job to remind our patients (especially you athletes out there) to take care of both your mouth and appliances while participating in contact sports (and non-contact sports) these coming fall months. Let's face it, this is a busy time of year sports-wise, whether you're playing soccer in the park or preparing for high school football.
Gum disease, known also as periodontal disease, is far more common in American kids than you may think. Year after year, new studies begin to link the effect gum disease can have on your heart, and today, Dr. Paul Styrt and our staff thought we'd help spread the word! One of the simplest steps to achieving healthier gums can be your diet. We recently found a great article from EatingWell, outlining several options for healthier gums. Included among the suggestions were:
With the hot and sultry Dog Days of Summer slowly coming to an end soon, it's time for you and your child to start thinking about school. August is Get Ready for Kindergarten Month for the two million kids who will be entering kindergarten come September.

Memorial Day Weekend, only a few days away, is a time to reflect and honor the men and women who have served to protect America and ensure our freedom. It’s also the unofficial start of summer, and for many kids in San Diego, getting out of town for three days with parents or relaxing after being cooped up at school for 9 months is always sweet, sweet relief.
If you recently completed treatment at Simply Spectacular Smiles, we’d like to congratulate you! Now that your braces have been removed, Drs. Styrt and Job will provide—or have provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, teeth can shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, however, provide that stabilization. They are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by Drs. Styrt and Job is the best insurance that the treatment improvements last for a lifetime.
Dr. Styrt was recently approached and asked, "Hey, doc, how does your office manage to "Go Green and stay Green"?

We know everybody loves a bright white smile (after all, that's why you're in treatment), but dentists and orthodontists alike are becoming more and more concerned that their patients are reporting more problems due to excessive whitening.

We consistently strive to provide the finest and most technologically advanced orthodontic and pediatric dental care to each person we serve.

With spring here, many children, teens and adults in San Diego will once again pick up the ball, bring the bat out of seasonal retirement, and lace up their cleats to hit the fields for the return of spring sports! April is National Facial Protection Month, and during this time, Drs. Styrt and Job urge our young athletes to play it safe when out on the field. 
Drs. Styrt and Job know there are quite a few myths about orthodontics (and orthodontists) floating around nowadays. But before you buy into those myths, our docs think you should get the facts! We came across a great site that helps set the record straight. Our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists have some excellent information on the myths and facts of orthodontics. We encourage you to check them out today!
Our team at Simply Spectacular Smiles read an interesting article this morning pertaining to cavities and how bacteria spreads from parents to children, and thought we'd share the news with you, our phenomenal patients and parents.
Of course not.
Whether Irish or not, millions of people around the world celebrate St. Patrick's Day with parades, toasts, and "the wearing of the green." Here are some fun facts about St. Patrick's Day, from Dr. Paul Styrt and our great team. Enjoy!
At Simply Spectacular Smiles, we love to have fun, and we enjoy rewarding our fantastic patients from time to time. Some favorite contests and events that Drs. Styrt and Job have done in the past include taking our patients to Padres games, monthly drawings for beautiful baskets filled with wonderful goodies, iPod and digital camera giveaways and gift certificates. 
At Simply Spectacular Smiles, we think a child's first visit to the dentist should be enjoyable and positive. The more you and your child know about the first visit, the better you will feel. Children are not born with a fear of the dentist, but they can fear the unknown. At Simply Spectacular Smiles, Drs. Styrt and Job and our team make a practice of using pleasant, non-frightening, simple words to describe your child's first dental visit and treatment. We want you and your child to feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door.
Each February for the past 60 years, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. For kids wearing braces, brushing and flossing can become more difficult, requiring extra time and vigilance to remove food particles that accumulate on and between the teeth and in braces. New options for braces such as Invisalign Teen, which is removable, make it easier for kids to maintain good oral health during orthodontic treatment.
Dr. Job enjoys educating children and their parents about proper dental care and maintenance for a beautiful healthy smile. He enjoys utilizing the latest technologies while making your children feel safe and comfortable. Dr. Job performs all facets of pediatric dentistry including preventative care, restorative care, trauma care, and sedation dentistry. He specializes in treating special-needs children.
People wonder why Drs. Styrt and Job work tirelessly 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!
Dr. Styrt loves helping patients create the smile of their dreams. "I truly love what I do - achieving spectacular smiles for all those that we serve! I feel blessed to have been able to create an environment in my office where we are able to consistently exceed our patient's expectations for excellence in customer service and treatment results. Orthodontics is a terrific field that contributes to the lifelong well-being of each and every patient."
