    It may seem like the most interesting thing about teeth is waiting for the tooth fairy to arrive, but there are actually quite a few curious facts about them. If you type the word “tooth” in the Guinness World Records website, nearly 300 tooth-related entries appear! From the longest teeth to most teeth in a mouth (37), and the largest collection of human teeth to the person who could hang from their teeth for over 7 minutes, teeth are the source of all kinds of strange and f

    Interesting Mind-Twisting Orthodontic Myths

    Orthodontic treatments improve the teeth of 4 million people a year. Chances are that you may be trying to decide if braces are right for you or your family. While it’s always best to be aware of the pros and cons of any matter, some areas seem to end up with more than their fair share of false claims and myths attached to them. One of these subjects is orthodontics, onto which the myths have attached far and wide. Some myths are hilarious, but others can be frightening – whi

    Some Things Never Change in Orthodontics… Unless It’s for the Better

    If you can remember braces in the 1980s, you might recall visions of large, bulky, metal braces. For those of us lucky enough to wear braces in the 80s, you had to have a large single band placed on each tooth. And are you ready for this? The braces were placed with a “thumper”. The process to adhere the braces to teeth was not only long but quite uncomfortable. In addition, having braces was perceived as something only wealthy people could afford. It’s a bonus then, that ove

    Healthiest Ways to Eat Sweets

    We recently discussed the fact that added sugar is hidden in many different kinds of foods, including kids’ snack foods and “healthy” foods. Eating too much sugar is bad for your teeth, your immune system, your blood sugar levels, and your weight, just to name a few. However, it is nearly impossible to eliminate all sources of added sugar and who even wants to live a life that doesn’t allow for any sweets?

    What Happens If My Child Has a Tongue Thrusting Problem?

    Many orthodontic conditions can be caused by something called tongue thrusting. This problem is far more common than you would imagine since all babies are born pushing their tongue forward when they swallow. As a child grows, they need to learn the correct position for their tongue. If they learn too late, it impacts a child in many more ways than orthodontic development. So, what exactly is it and why does it have such an impact on the way the mouth forms? Perhaps more impo

    Hidden Sugar in Kid’s Foods

    We all know that too much sugar causes cavities and gingivitis. Unfortunately, even if you don’t allow your child to eat treats, they can still consume a ton of sugar from foods you would never think of as sweet foods. Pretzels, potato chips, goldfish crackers, yogurt, apple sauce, and cereal bars can be full of sugar. Even if your child never consumes sweets, the hidden sugars in “healthy” foods may easily put them over the recommended daily limit. Just as eating too many sw

    What to Do If My Child Has an Overbite

    An overbite is completely normal and many people with beautiful smiles have a small overbite. However, when your upper teeth protrude over your bottom teeth more than normal, the overbite may create problems. How can you know when an overbite needs to be treated, and can it be prevented or treated at home? It is normal for your top teeth to overlap your bottom teeth a little bit. When the top teeth significantly overlap or protrude over the bottom teeth, the overbite becomes

    If you’ve been told that your child has an ankylosed tooth you may be wondering why it matters. Is it something that really needs treatment? The tooth is fused to the bone, but so what? Aren’t all your teeth attached to the bone? How is this any different? In some cases, an ankylosed tooth will be just fine without treatment. Other cases, if left untreated, can result in some pretty major problems that will eventually require extensive treatment. What is an ankylosed tooth? I
