One More Day for Mitten Tree!

The mitten tree at Jarrell Orthodontics is looking good, but there is always room for more...mittens, scarves, hats, and gloves. We will be taking all donations to the Salvation Army for distribution to those in need tomorrow.

So, you have 1 more day to help us load the tree with things to help us keep our little ones warms this winter.

Thank you!

Orthodontic patients, if you get more than just "ortho approved" candy in your bag this year, sell it to Drs. Kevin & Melissa Jarrell for the troops!

Symptoms of Soda Pop Syndrome

Symptoms of Soda Pop Syndrome:

1. Chalky appearance to the teeth
2. Lost surface definition
3. Extensive cavities

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Soda Pop Syndrome

Know the perils of "pop" which can cause Soda Pop Syndrome. Did you know that drinking soft drinks lowers the acidity, or pH level, of your mouth to below the level at which enamel decalcification occurs? It takes approximately 20 minutes for the pH to get back to normal. This is why continuous sipping over the course of the day is so destructive.
