Fall is a season of transition when the lushness of summer fades away to the starkness of winter. It’s about letting go and moving forward. Yet instead of the leaves just falling off the trees, nature gives us an incredible reminder that transition can be full of vibrant color and beauty if you are open to seeing it. There have been many transitions at Bradburn Village Dentistry over our 18 years of practice. We are continually learning and implementing new things. There have been many new faces over the years with team and patients which we are so blessed for, because it gives us the opportunity to serve so many people and also grow from knowing them. We are so proud of being able to serve the Bradburn Community and beyond for the past 18 years, and the care we have been blessed to provide. We know many people, who have faced transitions in their life and we are no different. With these transitions comes exciting opportunities. We are always learning and growing for our patients and keep their best interest when it comes to their health in mind.

We have had quite a few patients welcome new additions to their family, so we thought it would be great to share some information for expecting mothers. So, if you are considering becoming , or are currently pregnant or know someone please read ahead. Oral health is extremely important during this time. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry announced new oral health guidelines for pregnant women in 2009 tailored to assist them in maintaining healthy teeth and gums during their pregnancy and into the early stages of motherhood. But why is oral healthcare important during pregnancy? There are many factors so read ahead.
When it comes to newborns, tongue-ties frequently need to be corrected. Oftentimes, they are identified due to feeding problems, as a tongue tie restricts the range of the tongue’s motion. This can negatively im- pact the mother-child bond that occurs during nursing. It can also lead to long-term developmental issues. Here is one of the many babies we have helped over the years.

Do you know where “see your dentist twice a year” comes from? It is not from science but from a 1950s Colgate add, and it said twice a year at a minimum. Getting your teeth cleaned twice a year can be enough IF: your are already in excellent oral health, diligent about your oral care at home (yup that includes flossing!) and don’t have any risk factors including: diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep issues, on more than 2 medications, overweight, autoimmune disease, gastric reflux and stress in your life. Our #1 priority is to help patients achieve well- ness by co-managing the risk factors that link oral and systemic diseases and by helping them achieve a functional and esthetic dentition that can be maintained relatively inflammation-free over their lifespan..
