Tell us about your summer!

The dog days of summer are upon us, and what better time for our team at Tieken Smiles to ask our patients about their summer!

Whether you visited Disney World, went on a camping trip, visited the state fair or just stayed in town and hung out with friends, we want to know how you’re all spending your summer! Please feel free to share your summer plans and experiences with us below or on our Facebook page as the summer comes to an end soon for a lot of our patients at Dr. Tieken's office!

We look forward to reading all about your adventures! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

What's on your summer reading list?

With summer here, some of us at Dr. Tieken's office have been thinking increasingly about the importance of reading. Sure it’s easy to keep putting off reading, but reading during the summer is a vital step in brain development - and it's fun!

What's on YOUR summer reading list? What are some of your all-time favorites? Out of ideas for great summer reads? Ask us for suggestions, and our staff (and Dr. Derek Tieken) would be happy to provide a few suggestions. You may also ask a local librarian for some ideas or check out these summer reading ideas that we came across today, courtesy of Barnes & Noble.

Happy reading!

Share your Fourth of July plans with us!

This upcoming Sunday - which happens to be Independence Day, of course - Dr. Derek Tieken and our staff will celebrate our nation's 234th birthday. For most folks, the Fourth of July is a chance to celebrate and commemorate America's Declaration of Independence. It's also a time for every American to pay homage to all our soldiers, past, present and future - who lost their lives in battle - and the brave servicemen- and women who place themselves in harm's way every day so that we may continue enjoy our freedoms.

Today, we thought we'd ask: what are your Fourth of July weekend plans? Are you heading to a barbecue? A picnic? Hitting the open road with family? Having fun in the sun?

Whatever you might be doing over Independence Day weekend, our entire staff hope you have a great week and a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend! Feel free to post your Independence Day photos on our Facebook page!

Dr. Tieken and team, wishing you a pleasant, safe and relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

The unofficial kickoff to summer—Memorial Day weekend—is two days away, and that means it's a time for Americans to remember all those who bravely fought and gave their lives for our country over the years.

For many folks here in League City, Kemah and surrounding communities, getting out of town for three days after being cooped up in the classroom or office is sweet relief. At the office of Dr. Derek Tieken, we know Memorial Day weekend is ripe for travel. After all, Memorial Day means a season full of vacations, adventures and great memories is on the way.

What about you? What are you up to this Memorial Day weekend? Whether you're headed to a barbecue, a camping trip, or just hitting the great open roads of Texas, Dr. Tieken and our entire team would like to hear all about it!

We hope you have a safe and relaxing weekend!
