According to the American Dental Association, a person’s smile outranked eyes, hair, and body as the most important physical feature, which is why it’s important for our team at King Orthodontics to support National Smile Month this June.
Here are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health so that you may celebrate National Smile Month for many, many years to come:
- Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Here’s a helpful video showing you how to brush with your braces on.
- Floss every day to clean between your teeth.
- Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks during your orthodontic treatment with Drs. King.
- Visit your dentist regularly (usually every six months apart).
If you have questions about any of these tips, we encourage you to give us a call.
