Summer Sports Are Here, Keep those Braced Teeth Safe and in the Clear

Keeping Asheville Braces Safe

With Summer in full swing it is easy to forget that school sports are right around the corner, some as early as August 1st.

• We want to provide the most pertinent and relavent information regarding the protection of teeth from trauma.
• Mouth guards are a MUST with sports, plain and simple. It does not matter if you have braces or not.
• Contrary to common belief, football is NOT the source of most dental injuries. While hockey runs a close second, the highest incidence of trauma to teeth from adolescent sporting activities is basketball.
• Now Moms, don't bubble wrap your tiny basketball players, just get them a mouth guard!
• We provide mouth guards for all our patients that are wearing braces. The mouth guards that are worn over braces are a little different than what you might be used to.
• Boil and bite is not right! The mouth guard should not form fit around the brackets

TS Orthodontics Reaching Out

Over Halloween 2009 Dr. Scanlan and his Team orchestrated a candy buy-back.

What is a buy back?

As every parent knows, when Halloween hits, candy is everywhere!! .........Dr. Scanlan wants it. In fact, Dr. Scanlan was rewarding his patients with Tokens from his rewards program for every pound of candy.

Where is Doctor Scanlan sending all this candy?

Having been in the military for four years himself, Dr. Scanlan knows there are children in underdeveloped countries who have been orphaned. These children know very little about what goes on outside of their country. Some of these children are told the U.S. is the reason they are orphaned. Dr. Scanlan sends candy to these children with the message that we care....

To the TS Orthodontics kids: See these kids? You have made their day :-)

Dr. Scanlan and TS Orthodontics plans to continue this kind of giving
