🦷 Swollen or Bleeding Gums with Braces? 😬
Braces can make it harder to keep your teeth and gums clean, leading to plaque buildup, irritation, and swollen or bleeding gums!
✅ Brush carefully around brackets and wires.
✅ Floss daily to remove trapped food and plaque.
✅ Keep up with regular dental cleanings.
✅ Contact your orthodontist if swelling or bleeding persists.
Healthy gums are just as important as straight teeth! 😁
