General Braces Care
Brushing
Flossing
Slide the floss back and forth between each set of teeth gently. Floss the sides of each tooth beneath the gum line to remove plaque and food particles. Repeat this process until you have flossed all of your teeth. Flossing is essential for oral hygiene and can help to promote healthy gums and reduce your risk of cavities and other dental problems.
Playing Sports
We recommend using mouthguards when playing contact sports to avoid damage and protect your teeth and gums from accidents that may occur during physical activities. In case of an emergency, contact our office immediately.
