Braces

Wearing braces can make keeping your mouth clean and brushing your teeth can be difficult because of the metalwork present. This can easily cause plaque to build up around the braces. This makes teeth with braces more susceptible to cavities and inflammation, making it extra important to maintain careful oral hygiene. A dental hygienist will help you with thorough cleaning, prevent dental problems, provide instructions and monitor oral health during orthodontic treatment. The good news is that this is free for children up to 18 years old, because it is covered by basic insurance.
