Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. Locks of Love uses donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. It helps to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

Reminder: Sign-up now for Flex Spending to cover 2012 Orthodontic Expenses

admin — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:46:01 +0000

An FSA (Flexible Spending Account) is a tax-free account that allows you to use pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care or dependent care expenses. You choose an annual amount to contribute to your account, and your payroll deducts your salary contribution before calculating your taxes. Paying for eligible expenses with these pre-tax dollars saves money.

Did you know FSA dollars can be applied to orthodontic care? Before it’s too late, now is the time to start thinking about allocating money to your FSA account for 2012. Not every employer offers FSA accounts. If you are unsure, call human resources and find out today.

At Hutta Orthodontic Specialists, part of our commitment to current patients in treatment and new patients considering orthodontic care, is providing exceptional customer service. This includes ensuring you understand and apply for all the benefits to which you are entitled, both insurance and FSA.

Call us today to schedule a free consultation appointment if you would like to set aside funds for orthodontic care next year. If orthodontic treatment is indicated and you or your child is ready to start, we will provide you with the necessary information to take advantage of FSA tax free benefits for orthodontic care.

Year end deadlines are coming up soon for new patients and patients already under orthodontic care in our office. You must submit for the benefit each year. Each employer has a different final submission date.

We look forward to seeing you and discussing how your FSA will benefit you or your child during orthodontic care.

Turning Old Electronics into New Research for a Batten Cure

admin — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 18:10:31 +0000

Batten Disease is a rare neurological disease that currently has no cure. Over time, affected children suffer mental impairment, worsening seizures, and progressive loss of sight and motor skills. Eventually, children with Batten Disease/NCL become blind, bedridden, and unable to communicate and it is presently always fatal. Batten Disease is not contagious or, at this time, preventable.

Our Orthodontic Assistant, Chris, has worked for Hutta Orthodontic Specialists for 10 years. Her son, Nathan, has Batten Disease. Click below to read Nathan’s story.

Please join Dr. Hutta, Dr. Cook and our staff in collecting old, out-dated electronics to raise awareness and find a cure for children with Batten Disease. All recyclables will be given to Batten Disease Support and Research Association (BDSRA), who will in turn collect proceeds from these donations from CFK.

CFK (Cartridges for Kids) is a recycling program that will pay BDSRA CA$H for these items. Click below to see the list of items you can donate. Your donations can be brought to either our Worthington or Dublin location.

Our patient, Sarah Bellish, who has spinal muscular atrophy was able to fulfill her wish of recording a song in Nashville.

The River 104.9 will play her song Friday, July 29, 2011 at 8:10 a.m. Check out her awesome song!

Referral Program

admin — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 18:05:56 +0000

The greatest compliment we can receive is when our patients refer their friends to our practice. In order to thank you for this honor, we have initiated our Referral Program. If you refer a friend, and that friend starts treatment in one of our two locations, you can choose to receive an iPod Nano or a Teeth Whitening System!
