After finishing a busy lecture series, Dr. Ginsberg is ready for summer!

When Dr. Gerald Ginsberg isn't creating beautiful smiles for our Phoenixville and Plymouth Meeting, PA patients, he enjoys maintaining an active lecture schedule. Over the last several months, Dr. Ginsberg has lectured to orthodontic residents at Eastman University Rochester, New York, University of Pennsylvania, and the State University of New York at Stony Brook. In February and March he lectured to groups of Orthodontists in Philadelphia, PA, and Wilkes Barre, PA.

Dr. Ginsberg is always keeping busy. When he isn't working, he is riding his bike or traveling around the world to share his experience with Invisalign and other orthodontic techniques. Dr. Ginsberg has lectured to fellow orthodontists and industry professionals in the United States, Costa Rica, Europe, and China. Isn't it nice to know that your orthodontist is an accredited and respected leader within the orthodontic industry?

Dr. Ginsberg supports National Physical Fitness and Sports Month!

Did you know the month of May is designated National Physical Fitness and Sports Month? In 1983, President Ronald Reagan encouraged Americans to incorporate more physical activity into their lives, and the reminder is even more significant in this day and age, as kids everywhere are distracted more and more by television, social networking and video games. Kids living an active lifestyle can improve their health, productivity and overall well-being, and best of all? It doesn’t have to take a lot of time!

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has provided these public health guidelines for your convenience. The guidelines call for children and teens to exercise for at least one hour each day of moderate intensity physical activity (such as playing sports or brisk walking) or one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous activity (jogging, dancing and jumping rope).

At Gerald Ginsberg, DDS, we always encourage our patients to stay fit by exercising or participating in sports. However, we want to remind you to always wear a mouth guard or other forms of facial protection when playing sports. To learn more about how often your child should exercise, we recommend you check out this series of helpful articles about kids and exercise, courtesy of our friends at KidsHealth.org.

Distinguishing the myths and facts about orthodontics

But before you buy into those myths, we think you should get the facts! Our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists set the record straight (no pun intended) and have provided some information that sheds some light on the myths and facts of orthodontics. We encourage you to check them out today!

If you have any questions about orthodontics or your treatment here at Gerald Ginsberg DDS, feel free to give us a call.
