Neglecting oral care during braces treatment can cause irreversible enamel damage, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. 🦷🪥

Wearing braces is a crucial step toward achieving a straight and beautiful smile, but it also requires a higher level of oral care. The brackets and wires create spaces where food particles and plaque can easily accumulate, making it more difficult to clean your teeth properly. If oral hygiene is neglected during orthodontic treatment, it can result in serious problems such as enamel decalcification, tooth decay, and gum inflammation.

Enamel damage appears as white spots around the brackets—early signs of mineral loss that can become permanent. Plaque build-up around the braces can lead to cavities, especially in hard-to-reach areas, and increase the risk of gum disease due to chronic inflammation. Over time, this can compromise not only your dental health but also the final results of your orthodontic treatment.

To prevent these complications, it's essential to brush thoroughly after every meal using an orthodontic toothbrush or electric brush, floss daily with special orthodontic aids, and maintain regular professional cleanings. Good oral hygiene is the foundation for a healthy smile—before, during, and after braces.

💥 [Overbrushing Teeth]
I have been practising dentistry for 16 years in Singapore CBD (Tanjong Pagar).
One of the most common cause of teeth sensitivity nowadays is overbrushing and wearing away of healthy teeth. This can lead to severe teeth sensitivity and gum recession.

How can you prevent this from happening at your home?
1. Avoid sawing action when brushing teeth. Use the modified bass technique to brush.
2. Always use a toothbrush with soft bristles
3. Do not press down hard when you brush your teeth. Go easy with your hand pressure.
4. The yellow colour that you see near the gums is the natural colour of root and tooth. Do not mistaken that as decay and end up brushing harder and causing further tooth wear.

If your teeth is already worn down, you can do the following....
1. See your dentist for a filling to replace the worn off tooth surface.
2. If the wear or sensitivity is minimum, you can use toothpaste for sensitive teeth and monitor the area. Simply apply the toothpaste to the sensitive area. Leave it there for 5-10mins. After that then do your normal brushing. Do it for a few days till sensitivity decreased.

Hope this sharing helps.
