Now that Memorial Day weekend is behind us, we thought today would be a great time to tell our wonderful patients that June is National Smile Month, and a good time to remind all our patients to practice good oral hygiene between your visits to Pediatric Dental Specialists.
Here are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health so that you may celebrate National Smile Month for many years to come:
* Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Here's a helpful video showing you how to brush with your braces on.
* Floss everyday to clean between your teeth.
* Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks during your orthodontic treatment.
* Visit with Drs. Planells, Sanchez or Cortez regularly (usually every six months apart).
If you have questions about any of these tips, we encourage you to give us a call at (562) 377-1375.
We hope you all had a memorable Memorial Day weekend and now we want everyone to get out there and share your beautiful smiles with the world!
