Former Florissant patient, Dan H., is no stranger to this blog. He has been previously featured for participating in the Junior Olympics in rifle shooting in Colorado Springs.

Remarkable Family - Remarkable Kids!

2010-04-23T09:15:00.004-05:00

Rob and Jeanne Hermsmeier are very proud and very remarkable parents! They want their kids to aim high in life - no pun intended. Their two oldest kids, Dan and Katie, have just accomplished some remarkable things.

Katie, currently a student at St. Norbert and who will be attending Cor Jesu in the fall, did a science fair project about tooth decay. She wanted to find out if sugar or acid caused most of the decay. She got real teeth from her oral surgeon and placed these in sugar, sweetener, vinegar, diet soda, and distilled water. Her results showed that it is not sugar that causes the decay, but rather acid. This is true because the bacteria eat sugar and discard acid as a waste product. She got a blue ribbon in her school science fair. She then got the privilege to go to the Greater St. Louis Science Fair at Queeny Park. There she received a blue ribbon, a Discovery Award, Monsanto Science Award, and the American Association of University Women Award. She project turned out to be a great success, and she can't wait to do another project later on this year!

Katie's older brother Dan (who finished his orthodontic treatment a couple of years ago at Taeger Orthodontics) is currently a Senior at St. Louis University High.

Dan, who is the co-captain of the SLUH rifle team, earned a silver medal in the .22 small-bore rifle category at the Junior Olympics on April 19 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. With this achievement, which he earned in a remarkable, come-from-behind effort, he became the only Missouri shooter to win a medal in this match in its 20-year history, and he has been appointed to the National Junior Olympic Team.

The match was shot over two days with a .22 rimfire target rifle at 50 meters at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. It consisted of two full-course Olympic three position matches (each 120 shots: 40 prone, 40 standing, 40 kneeling) and a 10 shot Final for the top eight shooters that is shot in the standing position.

In the first match, Dan placed 13th with a score of 1135. He improved his position to 7th with a score of 1151 in the second match and gained a spot in the Finals. After nine shots in the Final, Dan had improved to 4th place. The stunning accuracy of his tenth and final shot earned him the silver medal.

As a member of the National Junior Olympic Team, Dan will be working with Dave Johnson, coach of the U.S. National Olympic Team. This will provide him the opportunity to shoot internationally alongside the U.S. Olympic Team, including the medalists from the Beijing games.

Dan has just recently accepted a full scholarship to the University of Memphis to shoot on the school's rifle team!

The work of an Orthodontist!

2010-02-19T13:39:00.002-06:00

This is more than a smile. This lights up a room. This shows confidence. This is a work of art. This is the work of an orthodontist. Check out http://www.taegerorthodontics.com/!

Your new smile!

2010-02-19T13:07:00.005-06:00

Getting a smile straight can be puzzling. When it comes to to putting together a straight smile for your child, an orthodontist completes the picture. Only orthodontists receive an extra 2-3 years of specialized education beyond the four years of dental school to learn the proper way to align and straighten teeth. The expertise of Taeger Orthodontics will make you smile!

Don't forget about safety!

2010-02-19T12:47:00.001-06:00

Taeger Orthodontics always recommends the use of a mouth guard when playing any kind of contact sports! Be sure to ask us which kind to use because not all mouth guards are appropriate while you are wearing braces. Those that are suitable are available in our office. Remember: saftey first!

Future NASA Space Scientist!

2010-02-18T08:38:00.002-06:00

Taeger Orthodontics Florissant patient and future NASA space scientist Patrick M. has a real "taste" for what it is like to blast things into space. His Uncle Bruce has an interesting offer he makes to his nephews: When they turn 13 and can demonstrate a lot of "down-to-earth" responsibility, he makes them a "potato cannon", which they use to "blast" into the New Year. A little PVC pipe, some propellant, a simple ignition, and a few potatoes and they are good to go. Not only does it "pack a good bang", it sends the potatoes over 100 feet!...After that, are they then "smashed potatoes" or "hash browns"?

Diving Competition at Hazelwood West High School

2010-02-16T15:43:00.003-06:00

Each of the 10 competing girls had to perform 11 dives.

She hopes one day to compete in the olympics as a diver and also as a swimmer. Go Amy!

Congratulations to our Ste. Genevieve patient, Salena K., for winning the Ste. Genevieve office 2009 4th quarter "C.O.O.L. Club" prize and being really "COOL".

"C.O.O.L." stands for 1) Co-operative, 2) On time, 3) Oral hygiene that is excellent, 4) and no "L"oose brackets. Salena is an avid iPod collector - she now has three - and will have plenty of music stored away for any kind of occasion! Congratulations, Salena, for being "COOL".
