Drs. Bernard & Eimer want to know: What do you love about our community?

Bernard & Eimer Orthodontics, located in North Canton and serving surrounding communities, is situated around some pretty unique neighborhoods. Each is special with its own personality, created by the people and places (and our patients) living within.

Today, Drs. Bernard and Eimer, as well as our team, thought we'd ask: What are your favorite things about North Canton? Is there a local event you attend every year? Do you have a favorite eatery? Favorite bar? Favorite place to visit? After all, Canton is home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the William McKinley Presidential Library, as well as other important historic sites!

Please feel free to share some information about your favorite local hang-outs, and everything you love best about “your neck of the woods.” And, who knows, we might post your response on our social networks! Or, you may give us a call!

Have a great week!

Dairy and your diet, from Bernard & Eimer Orthodontics

Drs. Bernard and Eimer want to know: Is dairy a major part of your diet? If not, it should be! A 2008 study from the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) has found that regular consumption of dairy products, such as milk, cheese and yogurt, can lower your chances of contracting periodontal disease (also known as gum disease).

Gum disease is caused by a bacterial infection in the mouth that affects the gums and jaw. Gum disease results in a loss of teeth and bone, and has been connected to certain cases of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, respiratory disease and osteoporosis.

Results of the study show that adults who consume at least 55 grams of lactic acid a day are less at risk for gum disease. Eating dairy is not just healthy for building strong bones, but is essential for maintaining a strong, healthy mouth. Next time you reach for a quick snack, choose some cheese, or a glass of milk, and remember with each bite, and every sip you are preserving your teeth for a lifetime of smiles and good oral health!

A few helpful webisodes about orthodontics, from Drs. Bernard & Eimer

Drs. Bernard and Eimer would like to point you to a few interesting webisodes about orthodontics, located on the YouTube page of the American Association of Orthodontics, or AAO.

There, they tend to post some very pertinent videos about orthodontic treatment, as well as state-of-the-art technology in orthodontia. These include "Orthodontic Treatment Basics," "Common Bite Problems Seen in Children" and "Does My Child Need Braces?"

We think you may find these webisodes interesting, as well as enlightening. If you have any questions about the videos, or your treatment here at Bernard & Eimer Orthodontics, please give us a call.
