We think you'll agree that oral hygiene is critical to the success of every orthodontic treatment, but it can also be one of the most challenging aspects of it. That's why we have introduced an oral hygiene program into our practice. We believe this program will help improve our patient's oral hygiene routine and thereby help reduce the amount of decalcification, periodontal disease and excessively prolonged treatments due to poor tooth movement in a diseased dentition.
Between appointments, we will aim to educate our patients on:
• Properly use of products that we have recommended and/or supplied
• Floss before brush - at least once a day.
• Brush, at minimum, twice a day for four minutes at a time.
• Rinse twice a day for 30 seconds each time.
• Make wise food choices and avoid actions that could damage my braces, such as biting into hard foods and eating foods high in sugar.
• Regularly advise you or your oral hygiene score (Poor - 1, Needs Improvement - 2, Average - 3, Good - 4 , Excellent - 5)
We believe we will be able to provide our patients with the knowledge and tools to help them realize improved oral health throughout their ortho treatment.
Hope this helps!
-Dr. Elchahal and Team
