Cottingham Orthodontics, supporting National Smile Month

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!
