1. Take your time brushing. If you fail to take the time to properly brush your teeth and stimulate your gums, swelling of the gum tissue and cavities may become a result of this neglect.2. Brush your teeth after every meal or snack.
3. Carry a travel toothbrush at all times. Then if you’re at school you can go into the bathroom after lunch and brush your teeth. No toothpaste is necessary at this time, just a little water. If unable to brush immediately, at least rinse your mouth with water to loosen and remove the debris. Then brush as soon as possible.
4. Keep up with your routine dental appointments. Some parents are under the assumption that since a child is undergoing orthodontic care, there is no need to keep up with their routine cleanings and examinations. This is not true. Since there is a greater potential for cavities and gum disease, these regular visits are crucial to your child's dental health. At our office, our orthodontic chairside assistant will give your child a thorough understanding of how to maintain excellent oral health during their orthodontic care that will result in a lifetime of gorgeous smiles.
