Importance of Dental Health

Dr. Biggs and some of the Sondhi-Biggs staff recently visited several elementary schools in honor of National Orthodontic Health Month. The purpose of the visit was to emphasize the importance of regular brushing, flossing and routine dental check-ups with the child's dentist. Dr. Biggs explained some of the important factors for children to understand regarding maintaining their dental health now that they are starting to grow their permanent teeth. A short presentation and video was shown, and our hope is to help motivate the young students to practice good oral hygiene to enhance their overall dental health.

2011 Superbowl for Saturday's Kids

On Monday, October 17th, Dr. Biggs & Amy Biggs, along with their friends Randy & Angie, attended the fifth anual Superbowl for Saturday's Kids. This charity fund-raiser supports the People's Burn Foundation and Kids' Voice of Indiana.

October is the start of flu season

It's hard to believe, but October is the start of the flu season. It is recommended that everyone 6 months of age and older get a yearly flu vaccine. The timing of the flu is very unpredictable and can vary from season to season. Flu activity most commonly peaks in January and February; however, seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October and continue to occur as late as May. Try to avoid the flu by making sure you are washing your hands several times a day, and keeping your hands away from your mouth and eyes. The Doctors and Staff at Sondhi-Biggs Orthodontics follow universal precautions to help protect you from the possibility of getting the flu.
