Did You Know No. 9: Surfing by George Freeth since 1907

Have you ever wondered how surfing was discovered, created, or invented? Although surfing is already being performed in Polynesia for a thousand years, it was only until 1907 when surfing became known to the world. George Freeth is a Hawaiian-Irish athlete hired by Henry Huntington to demonstrate the art of surfing in Redondo Beach. Huntington is a baron who has invested heavily in real estate (Redondo Beach) and would like to entice more visitors through surfing. Since then, surfing became famous in California especially in Beach cities which includes Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Hermosa Beach.

Freeth had seen a Polynesian painting that shows his mother’s ancestors riding surfboards. This sparks Freeth’s interest in surfing and he decide to revive the art of riding in waves. At first Freeth had little success with his 16-foot board that is popular at that time. So he decided to cut it in half to make it easier to manage and control thus creating the original “longboard” nowadays. This invention made him the talk of the town. While Freeth is demonstrating the art of surfing, the visitors are very delighted that he was scheduled to surf twice a day in front of Hotel Redondo.

Aside from bringing the art of surfing to the world, Freeth also became the first official lifeguard in southern California as he swims, dives, and enters water polo competitions in the region. The torpedo rescue can which is being used by lifeguards today was invented by Freeth. Overall, Freeth promulgated a surfing revolution which became a phenomenon in California coast.

The Importance of Early Orthodontic Treatment

Early orthodontic treatment is one of the best ways that you can ensure your child has the most treatment options available to them for future oral health. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children attend their first orthodontic consultation around the age of seven years old. At the age of seven children’s mouths have not fully formed but permanent teeth are beginning to interrupt and replace primary teeth. This can give an orthodontist all of the indications that they need to perform orthodontic treatment at a full orthodontic assessment.

Orthodontists will look for a wide array of different conditions as well as make sure that teeth are erupting in the proper order. When teeth erupt in the wrong order or come in crowded, it can lead to future issues. Making sure that children’s teeth are coming in correctly at an early age is one of the best ways that orthodontists can provide treatment options to spare children difficulty later on in life.

Jaws, bones and teeth are not fully set in place at the early age of seven and manipulating all of these factors with orthodontic treatment is made easier while they are still forming. Instead of requiring extensive surgery or a long treatment process, getting orthodontic treatment at a young age is a great way that orthodontists can structure and guide growth so that children can form a natural jawline with teeth that will come in straight.

Overall, the reason that early orthodontic treatment is extremely recommended is to limit the amount of invasive procedures that a child may require later on in their adult lives. Diagnosing and treating orthodontic issues in their early stages can help to save time and expense on the part of parents and children alike.

Early orthodontic treatment can also help with issues of confidence as a child develops into a youth. Many young adults and teens are forced to wear orthodontic appliances to correct any number of issues that they might face with their oral health. Getting early treatment is one of the best ways that you can shorten the overall length of treatment which will help kids to keep their confidence when they reach their teenage years. They can enjoy less time with braces or potentially avoid them altogether by getting in early consultation and early treatment.

Serious and abnormal conditions can cause permanent dental health problems as well. If children between seven and 10 aren’t able to visit an orthodontist and they have one of these severe oral health issues, that can cause issues with speech, chewing and potentially even excessive stress on their oral health. When teeth are crowded or a child has an irregular bite this can cause extra wear on their gums, their tooth enamel and also can cause issues in the supporting and surrounding jawbones.

If you are interested in scheduling your child’s first orthodontic appointment please contact Beach Braces today for a free consultation so that we can assess your child and diagnose any issues.

White Spot Lesions: Not a Cause for Concern

White Spot Lesions after Orthodontic Treatment

White spot lesions will frequently occur after the removal of orthodontic appliances. During orthodontic treatment there are some teeth that seem to be more prone to this demineralization process. Around the mandibular canines as well as the maxillary lateral incisors we can start to see area affected by the orthodontic appliance and a real reaction caused on the enamel. This is usually seen mostly in the first few weeks after the removal of a fixed appliance like braces. The lesions can appear shortly after the appliances are installed and may still prevail after the appliances are removed. Saliva seems to do wonders for fading these lesions however. White spot lesions after orthodontic treatment will fade in time and the belief is that saliva plays a big part in that role.

There are some other methods used for assisting the fading of these lesions as well. Low concentrations of fluoride products at the site of the lesions can work to fade them, but high concentration of fluoride will only result in staining. The key is to find a low dose product that can gently remove the stains. Saliva can also be stimulated by regularly chewing sugar free gum. Gum will work to increase saliva flow which can in turn work to cut back on the severity of the lesions.

White spot lesions that have reached advanced stages can make things more difficult. These advanced stages make sure that lesions will persist and may require advanced care treatments to cause them to fade.

With advanced white spot lesions, fluoride therapy may be ineffective and restorative fillings may be required. These fillings do not require any type of anesthesia or drilling and simply add a product that reinforces the enamel. With fully reinforced enamel the lesions will fade away completely and there will be little to no evidence they were ever there. This is an advanced and effective treatment e.

The only real disadvantage to using restorative fillings is that in most cases there is also a sacrifice of part of the healthy tooth structure. With this healthy tooth structure sacrificed there can be some sensitivity, but the overall structure of the tooth will be just as strong with the reinforced enamel to help it.

If you are affected by white tooth lesions shortly after an orthodontic appliance has been removed, it is never a good idea to adopt a reactive attitude to white spot lesions. Act preemptively and seek professional low dose fluoride immediately as these lesions can get worse if they go untreated. In most cases your orthodontist can make recommendations based off of your case when your orthodontic appliances are removed. Remember that this is fairly common and very treatable.

The orthodontic experts at Beach Braces can provide recommendations for any patient who experiences white spot lesions prior to their treatment through the office. For more information on treatment options after orthodontic appliances, or to book a free consultation for orthodontics please contact Beach braces today.

Myths about Chewing Gums: Busted

Getting to the Bottom of Chewing Gum Myths

There are many people who chew gums on a regular basis and consider it to be something that’s extremely healthy for their teeth and gums. Well there are a lot of rumors that go around concerning chewing gums and oral health. We’re about to present the real facts concerning chewing gums and how it can affect your overall oral health.

Chewing sugar-free gum can actually work to prevent tooth decay and tooth mineralization. Tooth mineralization can leave harmful stains as well as work to start breaking down teeth by causing lesions throughout the month, chewing gum actually has more claims on it than any other food product available with the EFSA, this means that the product claims to have more benefits than just about any other food product available on the market today.

Sugar-free gum helps in mineralization, reduces oral dryness which increases saliva, which in turn can help to protect teeth and help us digest, as well as neutralize plaque acids. All of these acids and adversities can contribute to your overall oral health and by taking preventive measures such as chewing sugar-free gum occasionally can work at promoting a better oral health.

Saliva is a way in which we have evolved to protect our teeth and to help us digest our food. Saliva brings calcium, phosphate and a natural balance of pH inside our mouths which will help to keep us healthy and our teeth strong and clean.

Xylitol is a popular ingredient in many sugar-free gums. This ingredient works to sweeten gum without having to use sugar but also can work to promote dental health in gums. By reducing the amount of sugar content and harmful sweetener content in gum these types of intense sweeteners can provide health benefits and lower teeth to look whiter and cleaner as well because they are constantly being exposed to extra ingredients that are beneficial to overall oral health. Xylitol is especially beneficial when gum chewers are able to chew two or three pieces a day to provide cleaning directly after meals. Chewing after meal will work to clean teeth when you don’t have access to a toothbrush and can restore the natural pH balance in your mouth to prevent acid buildup which can eat away at tooth enamel.

Some types of sugar-free gum also provide whitening and cleaning along with their product. Some types of gum include fluoride, which works as a tooth whitening in cleaning agent. Many types of toothpaste contain fluoride as an active agent for cleaning and quite a few professional whitening sugar-free gums also contain fluoride today as well. With many different types of sugar-free gum available on the market it’s very important to choose carefully as different ingredients can provide certain health and cleaning benefits better than others.

If you would like more recommendations for sugar-free gum or for us to answer any other gum myths please contact Beach Braces for any questions you have about chewing gum and oral health.

February: The Month Dedicated to Children’s Oral Care

Children’s Dental Health Month: February

Orthodontics

Children’s dental health month is organized by the ADA (American Dental Association) every February to help raise awareness about the importance of oral health especially when it comes to children. During children’s dental health month Beach Braces will be working to promote the idea of  bringing children into our offices to have their health evaluated at an early age so that we can provide families with the greatest number of treatment options for any oral health condition.

The best time to get your children an initial orthodontic appointment is around the age of seven years old. At seven years of age adult teeth will begin to impact and make their way through your child’s jaw line to give an orthodontist a better picture of the way his/her teeth might impact and eventually set in place. Orthodontist can get initial x-rays as well as develop a treatment plan that can leave your child with their ideal smile. At this early age something as simple as taking out a few teeth could be all that your child needs to guide their progress and ensure that teeth impact correctly and create the formation for a perfect smile. Early treatment is the best way that parents can save hassle down the road.

Children’s dental health month is not only just about reminding children to floss, clean and keep up regular dental appointments. Children’s dental health month includes overall oral health and providing solutions to children who struggle with everyday tasks like chewing, speaking and breathing because of their oral health. Getting kids who struggle with these issues into our offices is the best way that we can provide them with solutions that can shape their future and improve their confidence and quality of life. We help children every day to experience issues with speech, chewing and confidence and have flexible treatment options to suit any budget and lifestyle.

On our website you can find a wide array of information about how you can help your children better care for their oral health. From cleaning tips to special instructions for children who are undergoing orthodontic treatment, we were to increase awareness of various oral health concerns not only just in February but the entire year round.

Children’s dental health month is important for us to promote, this campaign runs every year and is extremely beneficial to kids as we work directly with parents, other dental professionals, healthcare providers and teachers and caregivers as well. This means that children are not only learning about how they can better care for their oral health in our offices and at home but also in their own schools as well. On the ADA website educators and parents can find some great planning and instruction packages that they can use to help their kids learn how to improve their oral health to enjoy brighter smiles with less concern.

For more information on children’s dental health month or to schedule your child’s first orthodontic appointment contact beach braces today.

South Bay, CA & Parrot Squawks

Orthodontics

Did You Know No. 3: Can You Hear the Parrot Squawks?

Have you ever heard the parrots squawk in your neighborhood? If you’re living in the South Bay, you probably hear them every day as the largest flocks of wild parrots are living in this area. Residents say that they could hear the loud squawks of these parrots all over town.

Wild parrots are parrots that have adapted to life in an ecosystem to which they are not native. These parrots may have been imported from the time that importation is not yet banned, and then escaped or released intentionally to the wild. Parrots have roughly 372 species with 86 genera. They are mostly found in subtropical and tropical areas and are divided into three super families: true parrots, cockatoos, and New Zealand parrots. The greatest diversity of parrots however can be found in Australasia, and South America.

Parrots have generally curved and strong bill, strong legs, upright stance, and clawed zygodactyl feet. Since most of the parrots are vividly colored and multi-colored (this makes them very attractive), people love to have them as pets. Parrots love to eat fruits, seeds, buds, nuts, and other plant materials. Although few species likes to eat animals and carrion; Lories and Lorikeets love to feed on soft fruits and floral nectar. Almost all parrots live in hollow trees and they lay white little eggs.

Since the parrots, along with crows, ravens, jays, and magpies are among the most intelligent birds, most people preferred them as pets. In addition, parrots can also imitate human voices making them more prevalent as pets than the other birds.

Overall, South Bay is not only famous because of the wild parrots. The town is also known to have the best orthodontic services offered by Beach Braces. Contact Beach Braces now to schedule an appointment: 310 – 379 – 0006.

California: A Place to Enjoy Delicious Food

Burritos

Did You Know No. 2: Why Burritos are So Yummy?

Everybody loves burritos – a soft wheat flour tortilla stuffed with rich meat, refried beans, Mexican –style rice/plain rice, cheese, sour cream, salsa, lettuce, and other ingredients. The best Mexican food in California can be found in the South Bay. Of course, burritos are included in this list! The best burritos in town can be bought at El Gringo, Amigos Tacos, and El Burrito Jr. While more and more people are discovering the exquisite taste of burritos, only few of them really knows where it came from or how it was discovered.

How Burritos Are Created

Generally, burritos consist of flour tortilla folded or wrapped (in a cylindrical shape) in order to enclose the fillings. The tortilla flour is usually steamed or lightly grilled in order to make it pliable and soft. While most of the burritos sold in restaurants nowadays have several ingredients, refried beans and meat are sometimes the only ingredients in Mexican burritos. American-style burritos are known to have more ingredients as fillings compared to Mexican-style burritos.

Burritos and Its Yummy History

There are a lot of stories suggesting the discovery of burritos in history. One of the folk story states that a man named Juan Mendez sold tacos in the street using his donkey as a transport for the food and himself. To keep the food warm, he wrapped it in tortilla flour. The word “burrito” means little donkey and in Spanish, burro means donkey hence the name “burrito” was coined for the tacos he sold.

On the other hand, another story came suggesting that a street food vendor once sold tortilla wrapped food to poor children in a state-run middle school. The vendor calls the children his burritos and later on this term of endearment became the name of the food he sells. The two folk stories above may have brought the burritos we know today.
