Dr. Christopher Henry of Henry Advanced Orthodontics

    A healthy, attractive smile is an important part of our lives, regardless of age. It impacts our self-esteem, confidence, and overall well-being, as well as our personal, social, and professional relationships. Dr. Christopher Henry, of Henry Advanced Orthodontics believes that giving someone confidence in their smile is the most rewarding part of his job.  Dr. Henry says “No one can take that away from them and they have one less obstacle standing in the way to achieve their life’s dreams.  To me that is powerful...it’s the gift that keeps giving and priceless when compared to the investment”.

    In 2017, Dr. Henry, relocated to St. Johns County, and took over the Orthodontist practice of Braces by Dr. Liz.  He moved here after 12 years of building a successful orthodontist practice in Alaska.  He chose St. Johns County to be closer to his family and quite honestly, to thaw out a little from the cold.  When you meet him it’s easy to see that his laid-back style is a perfect fit for the way we live and play in St. Augustine.

    His practice specializes in superior care and is known for being able to handle the toughest cases.   

    The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children have a check-up with an orthodontic specialist no later than 7 years old. Why age 7? At this stage of development, it’s an ideal time to evaluate many possible dental concerns.  Their growth pattern can be altered to provide a balanced bite, resolve crowding, expand the upper jaw, and diagnosis congenially missing teeth.  The majority of patients seen at this age will not require any treatment, however early treatment can be in a patient’s best interests if their problem is one that could become more serious over time if left untreated.  For parents, it’s not always easy to know if your child needs orthodontic treatment.  Dr. Henry’s goal is that you have a clear understanding of your specific needs, what your treatment will consist of and how long it will take.

    While it is ideal to see an Orthodontist at an early age, healthy teeth can be moved successfully at any age. Orthodontic treatment creates a better bite, making teeth fit better, and decreases the risk of future dental problems regardless of age.  And thanks to the variety of options used by orthodontists, teens and adults may be able to inconspicuously achieve the great smile they want.
​
    New patient exams are always free and Dr. Henry and his staff are looking forward to discussing all of your treatment options to provide you with your Trademark Smile.

Frank & Bonnie of Rivertown Fine Wine & Spirits Visit Washington DC on a quest to help PANCAN!

Picture

What is the secret to a long life? Well, some would say happy memories, connections, gratitude and the beautiful, strong fighting spirit of survivors who never give up but instead turn around and use their experience to help others.
    Bonnie and Frank Dvoravic, Owners of Rivertown Fine Wine & Spirits know first hand that life is precious.  Bonnie is a 12-year survivor of pancreatic cancer, and she and Frank are passionate about increasing awareness and raising money to help others beat this terrible disease.
    For the past two years, Frank and Bonnie have raised funds for PANCAN through auctions at their store on County Road 210 West in St. Johns, (near Publix).  To date, they have raised over $34,000 for research.  They are often blown away and truly grateful to our community for their support.
    In October, they will feature an auction of special items with one-hundred percent of proceeds going to PANCAN. Some of the items include a Fireball ice chest, Jagermeister ice chest, a Titos cooler and more. Plus, just arrived, a 12-year-old Elijah Craig barrel of bourbon created exclusively for Rivertown (part of the sale of each bottle will go to PANCAN).
    This summer Frank and Bonnie took a journey that led them to Washington DC to advocate for PANCAN, The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.  Along the way, they visited family and friends from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, including Frank’s 96-year-old “Uncle Frank” whom he had not seen in fifty years. His advice for a long life was to take vitamins, baby aspirin, chocolate kisses and two Coca-Colas a day.          
    The experience reminded them how blessed they are to be here enjoying the life they have built, a life that includes a beautiful riverfront home, time spent with their children and grandchildren, and a successful family business.

     In Washington DC over 600 survivors and family members from PANCAN visited US Representative John Rutherford & representatives of Senator Bill Nelson, and Senator Marco Rubio.  Meeting with legislators was empowering. Survivors were able to share their stories so legislators really understand what families experience when they are faced with a disease that according to PANCAN statistics takes 91 percent of its victims within five years and kills more people than breast cancer in the United States.
    The goal of advocacy at the national level is to double the survival rate by 2020. One of the main challenges for pancreatic cancer is lack of early detection.  There are few symptoms and no test exists to warn people they may be genetically inclined to get the disease. Although it is the second most common cancer it does not have funding earmarked for research to find a cure.  Increased funding would help researchers develop a test so that early detection would be possible.
    Efforts like Frank & Bonnie’s in-store Auctions and larger events such as the PurpleStride walks and runs held across the country continue to help researchers find answers to this devastating disease.
