It’s important to care for your teeth while wearing braces, as it can lead to further dental complications if not properly cleaned. During your consultation, Dr. Abbo will provide you or your child with instructions such as:
Brushing after every meal and flossing once a day
Using toothpaste and mouthwash that contains fluoride
Avoiding foods with a lot of sugar to prevent bacteria
Staying away from sticky and chewy foods
Be sure to also schedule regular biannual checkups with your dentist at our North Miami Beach office to ensure that there aren’t any complications.
