Happy National Orthodontic Health Month!🩵🦷
Braces are a big step toward a beautiful, healthy smile, and keeping that smile clean along the way is so important!😁✨
At Ken Johnson Pediatric Dentistry, we want our patients to know that regular dental cleanings are just as important when you have braces. Brackets and wires create extra places for plaque and food to hide, making brushing and flossing at home more important than ever!🪥
🦷 Keep up with your regular dental cleanings.
🪥 Brush carefully around every bracket and wire at least twice a day.
✨ Floss daily using floss threaders or a water flosser.
💧 Drink plenty of water and limit sugary snacks and drinks.
Remember, braces straighten your teeth, but healthy habits at home and regular professional cleanings help keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout treatment!💙
