How can You Protect Your Teeth if You are Wearing

Braces ? Always remember to brush your teeth after every meal and floss at least once a day.

If you take out your retainer to eat, make sure you brush your teeth, floss, and remember to keep it safe in its container so that it does not get lost or broken.

Be sure to schedule your routine checkups with your family dentist. It is recommended that you continue to visit the dentist every six months.
