Gum Disease Awareness Month in Tallahassee

Image
February is Gum Disease Awareness Month. Did you know more than 80% of Americans are living with periodontal or gum disease, which most often than not, goes unnoticed? Because the symptoms are barely noticeable at first and there is no pain involved, it can be tough to recognize you have gum disease at all. According to the American Association of Periodontology (AAP), you may have gum disease, even if it's in its early stages, if: your gums are red, swollen and sore to the touch. your gums bleed when you eat, brush or floss. you see pus or other signs of infection around the gums and teeth. your gums look as if they are "pulling away" from the teeth. you frequently have bad breath or notice a bad taste in your mouth. or some of your teeth are loose or feel as if they are moving away from the other teeth. A great oral hygiene routine and regular dental visits are the absolute best way to take a preventative measure against gum disease. The American Den...

Burch Orthodontics: 3 Facts about Your Tooth

At Burch Orthodontics, our mission is to create lasting relationships with our patients, honoring the trust they have placed with us while creating incredible smiles! Your smile is our number one priority. Our teeth say a lot about our health and a healthy oral hygiene routine will keep your smile shining bright all year round in Tallahassee . Here are 3 facts you may not know about your teeth. 1. Baby Teeth: Baby teeth are more important than we realize. 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. 2. The part of the tooth you see, the crown is only about a quarter to a third of the entire tooth. The rest of the tooth is under the gums. 3. A cavity is one of the few things the body cannot heal. It just gets larger with time, unless a dentist removes the decay and places a filling. Burch Orthodontics is now offering any members of our community to join the Burch Orthodontics Famil...

No Christmas holiday season is complete without candy canes! Whether you love them or don’t, candy canes are everywhere during the holidays. However you feel about candy canes, if you have braces, you may want to avoid candy canes this holiday season. Candy canes are one of the worst foods for teeth. Candy canes are 100% sugar. Sugar can lead to cavities, tooth decay, and loss. Candy canes are also one of the hardest treats to eat. One of the types of foods you should stay away from if you have braces (during orthodontic treatment) are hard foods and candies and candy canes fit the criteria perfectly. Combining both reasons, candy canes take a while to eat, which gives the sugar a reason to linger around longer and form into bacteria, leading to cavities. Here are other treats to stay away from this holiday season that are harmful to our teeth. Your family’s health is a priority and that includes smiles.
