Dr. Tieken, your local Under Armour mouth guard provider

With the hot and sultry Texas summer here for another five weeks, Dr. Derek Tieken and our staff would like to take this time to remind all the athletes out there to take care of your mouth while participating in contact sports (and non-contact sports). After all, we know this is a busy time of year sports-wise, whether you're participating in a volleyball game in the park or getting ready for high school football.

Under Armour mouthguards, available at our convenient League City office, enhance the performance of every athlete and give you peace of mind that your mouth is protected. Remember, only by using a mouth guard can folks avoid serious sports injuries. So, the next time you're in for a visit with Dr. Tieken, we encourage you to ask us for an Under Armour mouth guard, and we will provide one!

We hope you're enjoying your summer so far!

National Smile Week!

National Smile Week is here, and at J. Derek Tieken DDS, that means the perfect opportunity to enjoy spontaneous moments of silliness all week long. Here are three ways you can enjoy National Smile Week.

• Smile at people throughout the week, whether you know them or not. Believe it or not, smiles are contagious, and are always good to give and to receive. In addition, smiling can actually help you live longer, according to one recent study!

• Stick a love note, funny poem, or a cartoon into your child's lunch sack or your husband’s pocket or briefcase – anywhere where they will find it during the day, read it and smile.

• Practice random acts of generosity while at work – whether it’s a small anonymous gift on a coworker's desk, ordering flowers to your spouse or taking a loved one or coworker out for lunch.

And remember, coming in for regular cleanings and checkups with Dr. Tieken helps you perfect that warm smile.
