Painted Lady Butterflies Infiltrate Wu Orthodontics!

Butterflies at Wu Orthodontics! (And we don't mean the kind that turn your stomach into knots.)
These are the real deal. Painted Lady Butterflies are all around the Palo Alto Community right now, and some have even come into our orthodontic practice!

The butterflies migrate northwest this time of year and they don't stop until they run out of reserved fat carried over from their caterpillar stage. Back a couple years ago, the swarm was so thick it stopped traffic!

This year, to welcome them, we put up hundreds of colorful paper butterflies around our office.

They will only stay awhile as they migrate through, but hopefully they will be back in August as they return to the desert, their winter home. In the meantime, stop by Wu Orthodontics to see our colorful display, who knows maybe a Painted Lady or two will stop by to greet you!

Wu Orthodontics Leads Dental Study Clubs for Palo Alto General Dentists

Wu Orthodontics is committed to excellence in oral health. A key part of this commitment is their focus on education. That is why they regularly hold study clubs on topics of general dentistry.

Tuesday, March 24th, is the second study club in a series of seven. Fifteen to twenty general dentists from the Palo Alto and surrounding communities will attend the lecture held on the top floor of Wu Orthodontics' office building.

Dr. Wu will kick off the evening with a presentation about the Damon System. He will detail what the Damon System is capable of and present several cases that he is currently working on.

Following Dr. Wu's presentation, Dr. Terrell F. Pannkuk, a native Californian, will lecture on the differences between root canals and implants. He will discuss practical applications of the two and specific cases where each is appropriate.
