Occasionally, some baby teeth never fall out, and for this reason, an adult tooth cannot replace it. These baby teeth that never fall out are called retained teeth, and although they are typically harmless, they can cause some dental issues. We would be happy to do a complimentary evaluation to see if your baby teeth are creating issues for you that orthodontics could potentially correct.

Not because your mother made you wear that same vest! We’re talking about the smile. When your upper teeth stick out significantly over your lower teeth, this is called an overjet. Having too much overjet can cause trauma to your upper front teeth. This can be corrected with braces in combination with rubber bands. Call for a complimentary appointment today!

On Great American Smokeout Day, let’s talk about smoking and your teeth:
Everybody knows that smoking wreaks havoc on your health. While your teeth may not be the first thing you think of when considering the dangers of smoking, any kind of to***co use can bring about some serious damage to your mouth.
Tooth Discoloration … Most people know that smoking can turn your pearly whites into not-quite-so whites in a hurry. Regular to***co use, even if you’re not a pack-a-day smoker, can turn white teeth into ones that are yellow or brown.
The more you smoke, the more likely you are to notice tooth discoloration quickly.
Tooth Decay … To***co can do some serious damage in your mouth, but most people think of oral cancer and gum issues. While those shouldn’t be overlooked, not many people associate smoking and to***co use with the kind of tooth decay dentists often see in their patients.
Periodontal Disease … Periodontal disease is basically a bacterial infection that occurs in your mouth. Over time, this infection impacts the gums. While the early stages of periodontal disease can often be reversed if you see a dentist, long-term smoking and to***co use can lead to the problem becoming worse.
Bone Damage … If periodontal disease is left untreated, the infection can spread into tissue and bone, which can then cause bone damage.
Tooth Loss … When periodontal disease takes hold in your mouth, usually tooth loss isn’t too far behind. Where there is periodontal disease, you’ll also usually find a higher rate of decay due to infection.

Saturday is America Recycles Day! Patients often ask if orthodontists recycle braces. You can relax to hear that we would never take brackets out of one person’s mouth and put them in yours! But there are many different materials that may be recyclable. Stainless steel for the brackets and wires can be recycled for other purposes. Spark is also completely recyclable. The aligners, once used, can go in the recycle bin. We now have a recycle box for them in our office! They are then sent to the same place all other plastics go. Hooray for that!
