Significant changes have been made to the advice given to dentists on the prevention of infective endocarditis (IE).

It is now recommended to give antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) to all high-risk patients undergoing extractions and oral surgery procedures.

The updated guidance will impact your practice, so awareness throughout the dental team is essential.

Braces can transform a smile, but poor oral hygiene can leave permanent marks behind.

Brackets and wires create additional surfaces where plaque can accumulate and become difficult to remove. When oral hygiene is inadequate, bacteria in plaque produce acids that pull minerals out of the enamel. The result is often the chalky white areas seen in this image, known as white spot lesions.

White spot lesions are early signs of enamel demineralization. They can develop surprisingly quickly during orthodontic treatment and may remain visible long after braces are removed. If the demineralization progresses further, cavities can develop.

Studies have consistently shown that orthodontic patients are at increased risk of plaque accumulation and enamel demineralization, making oral hygiene one of the most important factors influencing treatment outcomes.

Brushing carefully around brackets, cleaning between teeth daily, using fluoride products when recommended, and attending regular dental visits can significantly reduce this risk.

A successful orthodontic treatment is not just about straight teeth.

It's about finishing treatment with healthy enamel too.
