• Importance of Cleaning: No matter what your age is, prepare a kit containing toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, lip balm and wax. Try to carry this kit everywhere you go. This is because the need to keep teeth clean increases manifolds when you are wearing braces. It is necessary to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy after the Napa orthodontic treatment and it can also save you from extra visits to the dentist.
  While normal people can manage the upkeep of their teeth by brushing twice a day, those with braces have to brush every time they eat something. Prolonged contact of food particles with the braces can lead to dental problems.

• The Perfect Way to Floss: It is essential that you floss at least once in a day. This includes flossing between the teeth, braces and under the wires as well. You can purchase orthodontic floss from a drug store to easily floss under wires.

• Have a Check on What All You Cannot Eat: Though the dentist would recommend you to eat very soft things in initial days after installing braces, you need to watch on your eating habit later also. Try to avoid the intake of hard, sticky, starchy and sugary foods like caramel, dried fruits, raw apple, carrots, chewing gums, etc. You can cut the crunchy or stiff food items into small bites and then eat.

Do not use any teeth whiteners and ask your Napa family dentist for eligibility of a tooth-care product before using it. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
