We see this on the right all the time and it is heartbreaking. Parents please stay on top of your kids about their oral hygiene!

Braces can fix your teeth alignment—but without proper care, they can increase the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Orthodontic brackets create plaque traps around every tooth. If cleaning isn’t precise, bacteria build up along the gumline and around brackets, leading to early white spot lesions (demineralization), cavities, and inflamed, bleeding gums. What may look like “just stains” during treatment can become permanent enamel damage once the braces are removed.

That’s why oral hygiene during braces matters more than ever. Cleaning around brackets, between teeth, and along the gums isn’t optional—it’s what protects your enamel while your teeth are moving. Straight teeth are important, but keeping them healthy is what truly defines a successful result.

Read this! Flossing is important!

Flossing may lower your risk of more than 50 systemic diseases.

Most people see flossing as a small hygiene step — something that just prevents cavities or stops gums from bleeding.

But gum inflammation is not just local irritation. It is biologically active. Inflamed gums release inflammatory mediators, and harmful oral bacteria can enter the bloodstream during everyday activities like chewing. This phenomenon, called transient bacteremia, is well documented in medical literature.

Over time, untreated periodontal disease has been associated with serious systemic conditions, including:

• Cardiovascular disease and stroke
• Poorly controlled type 2 diabetes
• Pregnancy complications
• Respiratory infections
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease
• Chronic kidney disease

The connection is inflammatory and microbial.

When plaque builds up between teeth, it creates an oxygen-poor environment where pathogenic bacteria thrive. The immune system responds continuously. That chronic inflammatory burden can influence blood vessels, insulin regulation, endothelial health, and even brain tissue.

Flossing physically disrupts that bacterial biofilm in areas a toothbrush cannot reach.

It reduces the bacterial load.
It lowers gum inflammation.
It decreases repeated episodes of bacteria entering the bloodstream.

This is not cosmetic dentistry. It is preventive health care that starts in the mouth.

Oral health and systemic health are biologically connected. A simple daily habit — interdental cleaning — is one of the most practical, evidence-based steps you can take to protect both.

Small habit. Whole-body impact.

All of the research now says that the dental xray beam is so focused that lead aprons are no longer necessary for safety, even for pregnant patients. We will still have them in the office if you request one, but will not be routinely using them any more as they can make it more difficult to get good images.
