ORAL CARE AND BRACES- A QUICK GUIDE:


·       
  • Brush thoroughly at least three times a day (and specially after eating).
                                                   
  •   Use fluoride toothpaste with a soft bristled toothbrush specially designed to clean around your braces.


  • Clean between teeth daily to remove plaque from areas your toothbrush can’t reach.

  • Use a fluoride mouth rinse at least once daily to help prevent cavities.


  • Eat a well balanced diet-but avoid sticky or chewy foods that can damage your braces and increase your risk for cavities.

  • Continue to visit your dentist and hygienist for regular checkups.
