If you have visited any of the many pumpkin patches in Tallahassee, you know Halloween is right around the corner! The time of sweet treats and endless candies are here. While you may have your pumpkin carved out and Halloween costumes planned out, there is one big reminder you shouldn’t forget when it comes to Halloween and your teeth. If you are in the middle of orthodontic treatment and wear braces there are certain types of candies and foods you should avoid. Trade them for a braces-friendly treat such as pure chocolate, a soft cookie or even ice cream. Here are three types of treats to avoid if you have braces. 1. Nut Containing Candies Nut containing treats are very popular on Halloween (and other holidays). Avoid these types of treats because they can damage your braces, causing wires to bend or break.

Today is a great day because it is World Smile Day. Our smiles are so important for our overall health. Did you know our baby teeth hold space for the permanent teeth that follow – it’s important to hang onto them until they’re ready to come out on their own. Orthodontics are so important because our bite, the way we chew and how we speak is affected by our teeth and smile. Our staff is trained and skilled and each member of our team has years of experience in treating patients with the highest level of care. Here are some incredible smiles on World Smile Day.

It’s no secret the health benefits of quitting smoking and not smoking at all. Smoking increases an individual's risks of various types of cancer, such as cancer in our lungs, pancreas, stomach and anywhere else in our bodies. Smoking also can lead to respiratory diseases and other different health factors. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causes many diseases, and reduces the health of smokers in general.” It contributes to causing more than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States. This is nearly one in five deaths. By quitting smoking, not only does your overall health can improve, your smile and gums benefit as well. Here are a few reasons why smoking impacts your gums, teeth and overall smile in a negative way. Stained teeth and tongue Slow healing after a tooth extraction or other surgery Difficulties in correcting cosmetic dental problems  Gum disease Oral cancer Sources: h...
