How to get an A on brushing

How do I get an “A” or “B” on brushing?

Answer- clean teeth & healthy gums-

and here are some tips:

1. Brush. Most people do fine except for 2 areas

   1. Behind the arch wires

   2. The area between the gum line and the braces

       

       

       

2. Floss. You will need to floss every day, NOT just the day before your appointment.  (This removes the bacteria which cause puffy gums and cavities.)

    

   Use the threader and make sure the floss goes on the side of each tooth and not right in the middle.
