Article by Dr. Leaver & Dr. Gardner

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS

PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH

BRUSH UP ON YOUR DENTAL HYGIENE

  • use fluoride toothpaste with a soft toothbrush
  • replace your toothbrush as soon as it begins to show signs of wear
  • brush around every part of your braces and every surface of your teeth
  • brush until your brackets are clean and shiny
  • floss every night before you go to bed
  • use tools like floss threaders and Waterpiks to clean hard-to-reach areas
  • brushing at least three to four times a day, after each meal and once before bed, using a soft toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste
  • brushing gently at a 45-degree angle toward the gum line, moving the toothbrush across the teeth to effectively remove bacteria and any trapped food particles
  • flossing at least once per day to remove bacteria and any food that has accumulated throughout the day
  • replacing your toothbrush every 3-4 months, or sooner if you have a cold or any other illness
  • using antimicrobial and fluoride mouthwashes to help further improve your oral health
