With orthotropics, our Livonia, MI, team offers treatment for children suffering from difficulty sleeping.

Remember that when you’re keeping your smile healthy and clean that cleaning between your teeth is part of the equation. If you’re focusing only on getting the surfaces of your teeth clean, then you’re only doing a partially good job. “Isn’t this enough?” you might ask yourself. Unfortunately, when we’re discussing your oral health, “enough” is only when you’re completing the cleaning session by getting all dental surfaces clean, which includes the areas between your teeth. So, what can you do to be sure you’re addressing even these little spaces? Our Livonia, MI practice can answer that with easy care reminders!

As you peruse your options throughout each and every holiday meal and party you attend, you will likely find that there are oh-so-many sweets that tickle your fancy! However, you may feel that you’re heading into Christmastime with a serious eye for those sweets that are (or are not) considered the worst offenders for your smile. You skip the super sticky, stretchy, taffy-like stuff. You avoid anything too chewy. You steer clear of highly crunchy things. You think, as a result, that you’re in the clear when you select hard holiday candies! Of course, you think! This is the best solution when you want some sugar. However, our Livonia, MI team reminds you (in many ways) that hard candies actually pose some serious oral health risks!
When children lose sleep, they often have trouble functioning at school and in their daily life. Serious complications can arise, including issues reaching emotional growth milestones. Issues with the growth of their smiles could impact their risk of poor sleep, but fortunately we can help Livonia, MI, patients with orthotropics.
What should you do if your smile feels sensitive over the holidays? Well, if it feels sensitive right this minute and you’re worried about it, then you should probably pick up the phone to contact our Livonia, MI team! However, what if your tooth sensitivity happens to crop up once the excitement, travel, parties, and more have begun? Is there anything you can do to make your teeth feel a bit better, to avoid any additional aggravation, and to feel like you have a plan in place, so you can allow yourself to relax and have fun? Why, of course there is!
When children have trouble sleeping and seem to struggle in school, these two issues may be connected. In addition, the source of these trouble could be connected to their smile, particularly, the development and growth of their jaw and oral structures. To help children in Livonia, MI, with these issues, we may prescribe orthotropic treatment.
