It's February! For the past 62 years, the American Dental Association has sponsored National Children's Dental Health Month during the month of February to raise awareness about the importance of children's oral health. Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.For kids wearing braces, brushing and flossing can become more difficult, requiring extra time and vigilance to remove food particles that accumulate on and between the teeth and in braces. New options for braces such as Invisalign Teen, which is removable, make it easier for kids to maintain good oral health during orthodontic treatment.
If the health of your teeth is ignored during treatment with braces, the results can be significantly compromised. The entire team at Thomas Family Dentistry are available and happy to explain why effective brushing and flossing is one of the most critical actions needed from patients during orthodontic treatment. Are you due a check-up or has been a while since your last visit? Give us a call at 918-455-0123 and schedule an appointment!
God Bless,
DRT
