Fall is just around the corner

With Fall just around the corner, remember to be careful with caramel apples and other Halloween treats that could damage orthodontic appliances. Damaged appliances could cause delays in treatment and unnecessary repair appointments. Have a great Fall!

Lending a hand

Our office recently made a charitable donation of dental equipment to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church. The church provides a free clinic for the needy citizens in our community.

Go Colts

Colts vs. Green Bay tonight! Sondhi-Biggs Orthodontics would like you to know that we PROUDLY support our Indianapolis Colts by having "Colts Day" prior to every game.

Are you ready for some football?

Colt's preseason is in full swing, as well as alot of other football programs. Always remember, you MUST wear a mouth guard when you are playing contact sports. All NFL players wear their mouth guards to protect their mouth and you should also. If you have any questions about what mouth guard you should be wearing, or if you should be wearing one, please contact our office for further information.

Piercing your tongue....

Piercing of the tongue for some people is the way to be "cool" or fit in with a group of friends. However, tongue piercing can lead to damaging habits that could potentially cause gaps to appear between the upper front teeth. Just remember, that hole in your tongue could potentially end up costing you thousands of dollars in dental treatment years down the road.

Even though you think the barbell is just sitting in there, it is actually putting pressure against the back side of your front teeth at all times. Every time that ball hits or you accidentally bite down on it you could possibly crack, chip or break a tooth. It may not be as cool as you think and it may be costly.

Back to School

It's almost time to start packing that backpack and waking up early. Before you know it, your first day of school will be here and summer vacation will be over. Remember, when you are stocking up on your school supplies you may also need to pack a toothbrush, elastic bands and mouth guards in your supplies.

Texting while driving.....

Sondhi-Biggs Orthodontics tries to simplify your life any way we can. We offer email reminders that are followed up by text reminders if you would like. Please remember to be responsible while driving, and save the texting for when you arrive at your destination.

So far, 25 states have banned texting while driving (in Indiana, texting is not allowed for driviers younger than 18). Many states have gone a step further, sending kids through courses so they can see the accidents they could cause.
