June is National Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Month June is National Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Month.  Eating more fruits and veggies is essential to a healthy diet and good for your teeth! If you are in braces, remember to cut any raw veggies (like carrots) and fruit (like apples) into small bitesize pieces rather than biting down into them. Braces like their fruits and veggies too! #braces #fruit #veggies #bracesbydrruth #drruth #therealorthodontistofnashville
Prolonged pacifier use may cause problems with the Prolonged pacifier use may cause problems with the proper growth of the mouth and the alignment of teeth.  It also can cause changes in the roof of the mouth.  We suggest that children should stop using pacifiers by age 2.  And don’t forget that the AAO suggests children are evaluated by an orthodontist at age 7.  We’ll be happy to do that for you! #pacifiers #braces #orthodontics #bracesbydrruth
June is National Migraine and Headache Awareness M June is National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month.  Did you know that in some cases orthodontics can help alleviate headaches?  The American Dental Association reports that crooked or misaligned teeth can cause bruxism and tension headaches. In such cases, orthodontic treatment is often successful at alleviating headaches and migraines.  Give us a call if you would like an evaluation! #braces #headaches #bracesbydrruth #therealorthodontistofnashville
If baby teeth are not lost in the correct order, o If baby teeth are not lost in the correct order, or if a baby tooth is lost and not replaced by a permanent one within three months, there could be issues that an orthodontist should address:
• Crowding: Some adult teeth may come in before the baby teeth are lost creating what can appear to be two rows of teeth and crowding in some areas in the mouth. If this happens, it is a good time to have the child evaluated by an orthodontist.
• Premature tooth loss: It is possible for a baby tooth to fall out before the permanent tooth is ready to erupt, often because of a traumatic accident or tooth decay. In such cases, a spacer/space maintainer is often put in the location where the baby tooth fell out prematurely, to preserve the space for the adult tooth and to prevent future crowding problems. In general, if a child loses any teeth before the age of 4, an orthodontist should be consulted to determine that there are no inherent dental problems that have developed.
• Late tooth loss: Some children may reach the age of 8 without losing any teeth and in such cases, there may be nothing wrong, but an orthodontist should be consulted and take an X-ray to evaluate the situation.
• Missing adult teeth: A baby tooth typically does not loosen until the permanent tooth beneath it pushes up to take its place. As a result, if a child is missing some permanent teeth this process will not occur in certain locations in the mouth.
• Extra Teeth: When this occurs, it can block the natural eruption process of the regular adult teeth.  Seeing an orthodontist would be an important step towards having a healthy set of adult teeth! #babyteeth #bracesbydrruth
