We hope you enjoyed the long holiday weekend! Now that we’re in June, Dr. Cottingham and team thought we’d tell you June is National Smile Month, and a good time to remind all our patients to practice good oral hygiene between your visits to Cottingham Orthodontics.Here are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health so that you may celebrate National Smile Month for many years to come:
* Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Here's a helpful video showing you how to brush with your braces on.
* Floss everyday to thoroughly clean between your teeth.
* Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks during your orthodontic treatment.
* Visit your dentist regularly (usually every six months apart).
If you have questions about any of these tips, we encourage you to give us a call at (317) 202-1873 at our Indianapolis office or (317) 204-4109 at our Avon location!
We want everyone to get out there and share your beautiful smiles with the world!
