Hey there jessicatee - sorry to hear about this.
You can disable it by clicking on the Dropbox icon in your system tray, then the gear icon, then Preferences. You'll then have the option to choose when you'd like to see the Dropbox badge: "Always show", "If others present" and "Never show."
To completely disable the Dropbox badge, select "Never Show" from the drop down menu. That will prevent Dropbox from showing the badge on your Office documents.
Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else!

This is the most annoying feature. This should come turned off as a default and people can turn it on if they want OR put a button on the badge to click to NEVER show it again as opposed to just HIDE. This feature makes me want to switch from Dropbox to something else.
