Brushing & Flossing

Creating Convenient, Affordable & Confident Smiles for Busy People

Parents of the world turns out you were right! Brushing your teeth is very, very important! And though it is important every day throughout your life, it is even more so during your orthodontic treatment. No matter how frightened of floss you are, ensure that you both floss and brush regularly so our treatment can deliver the best possible result. Resilient and frequent brushers are rewarded with smiles bright enough to reflect light, just like the movies!

We are a team! You, us, your personal dentist! We all want the same thing, and that is a smile you can wear proudly. We will do our part to the best of our abilities, and if you promise to meet us halfway and keep your teeth clean, there’s no stopping us! Proper dental care will require time and effort on your part, but believe us when we say it’s well worth it. Show your smile some love, and it will return the favor tenfold!

Hey Dorito, Onion, & Coffee Breath

Dental hygiene is always important, but it’s important in a whole new way as you undergo your orthodontic treatment. Without getting in there and brushing regularly, plaque and food can accumulate and form empires of their own! Those little kingdoms of bacteria can lead to some not-so-impressive cavities or gum disease, so make sure you are diligent in getting around your braces and brushing like crazy!

Brushing

Step 1

Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gum.

Step 2

Brush gently in a circular motion.

Step 3

Brush the outer, inner, and chewing surfaces of each tooth.

Step 4

Use the tip of your brush for the inner surface of your front teeth.

Flossing

Step 1

Using a piece of floss about 18 inches long, carefully thread the end between braces and wire. You may find a floss threader helpful.

Step 2

Carefully floss around the braces.

Step 3

Carefully floss around the gum areas.

Step 4

Carefully floss around each tooth.

Had a great visit summer made us feel very welcomed. She eased my son mind about the process and help walk us through the details of the payments and the process of what was going to be... done!! My son was very happy with the staff and summer she made him feel comfortable! She also helped with an insurance issue that she didn’t have to I am sure but she did!! The dentist was also very welcoming and explained what would be best for my son.If your child needs to see a orthodontist this is where you need to goread more

First visit there today. Summer was just FANTASTIC with my 8 year old who was a tad nervous. The Doctor was wonderful too. Going to make her care a lot easier. Her exact words when we left... were “They’re so nice to us”read more
