National Children’s Dental Health Month is celebrated every February and is meant to raise awareness about the importance of oral health for children. Remember these important steps to keep children’s teeth healthy:
• Brush 2 minutes, 2 times a day
• Floss daily
• Limit snacks, eat healthy meals
• Visit your dentist regularly
Also, remember that the American Association of Orthodontics suggest that children be evaluated for orthodontic treatment at the age of 7. We would be happy to set up a complimentary evaluation – just ask!

Step one was making it to appointments, step two was eating braces-friendly foods, step three was having good hygiene. Now, finally, we want to remind patients to WEAR PRESCRIBED RUBBER BANDS! Rubber bands are very important for the bite-fixing phase of orthodontic treatment. Rubber band use has been calculated into the treatment plan and anticipated beband day, so wearing them properly is a must!

Most orthodontic problems are inherited. Some are “acquired,” developed over time like sucking the thumb or fingers, mouth breathing, dental disease, abnormal swallowing, poor dental hygiene, early or late loss of baby teeth, accidents, and poor nutrition. Sometimes an inherited orthodontic problem is complicated by an acquired problem. Whatever the cause, orthodontists can treat most issues giving patients not only a beautiful smile, but a healthy one too!

Earlier this month we talked about the importance of making all your appointments and eating properly. Having GOOD HYGIENE is another important thing that patients can do to stay on pace with their anticipated deband day. When you take good care of your mouth, teeth, and braces, you’re speeding up the process in getting your braces off faster. With the many different wires and brackets in your mouth, it’s important to brush your teeth at least twice a day. It may be helpful to invest in an electric toothbrush during this time, as it’s a great way to apply a consistent brushing technique to your braces. Be sure to floss daily, preventing plaque buildup between teeth and gums, and allowing braces to do their work properly. The healthier your gums and teeth are, the more likely your teeth will be able to move fast, and you’ll be able to get your braces off on schedule or maybe even early!

Did you know mouth breathing, as opposed to breathing through your nose, can cause dental problems and the need for orthodontics? Yet another reason that children should be evaluated for orthodontic treatment at age 7. We’ll do that evaluation complimentary and follow-up every six months to follow their development!

YES, rubber bands are very important for the bite-fixing phase of orthodontic treatment. Rubber band use has been calculated into the treatment plan and anticipated deband day, so wearing them properly is a must. If you have been prescribed rubber band wear, be sure you understand the what, when and where of it all!

In the United States, flu season occurs in the fall and winter. While influenza viruses spread year-round, most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February …. So, January is right in the middle. As much as we want you to make all your appointments, we certainly want you to take care of yourself when you are sick even more. Please call us asap when you realize you should not come in because you are sick. We’ll try our very best to get you rescheduled at a convenient time.

Our first tip was to make all your appointments. A second important thing patients can do to stay on pace with their anticipated deband day is WATCH WHAT YOU EAT! Here’s a few tips to remember when eating and drinking with braces:
1. Avoid foods that can break your wires or brackets: chewy foods like bagels, hard rolls, licorice; crunchy foods like popcorn or hard chips; sticky foods like caramels and gum; hard foods like nuts, hard pretzels; foods you have to bite into like corn on the cob, apples and carrots.
2. Take the time to chop up hard foods like apples, raw vegetables, crunchy breads, or meat. When eating, take small bites of your food and chew slowly and carefully.
3. It’s also important not to chew or bite down on anything that isn’t food while wearing braces, such as chewing on pencils or pens, and biting your nails, as it can damage your wires.
4. Stay away from carbonated drinks and sodas. These types of drinks can damage the health of your teeth and prevent them from moving properly while wearing braces.

Our goal is the same as our patients – for braces to come off on time or even early! This year in January, we will share four pointers on how patients can make that happen! One of the most important things patients can do is to MAKE EACH AND EVERY APPOINTMENT so we can make the appropriate adjustments to follow the doctor’s treatment plan. Missed appointments frequently mean added time to the anticipated deband day. So, if you need to miss an appointment, call asap so we can try to get you rescheduled in a timely manner.
