🍎 Back to School, Back to Braces-Friendly Routines! 🦷
With school back in session, life tends to get a bit more hectic, but that should never get in the way of an amazing smile!
As students dive into the new academic year, keep these quick tips in mind:
✨ Stick to the basics: Don’t forget to brush at least twice a day and floss once a day!
📅 Stay on track: Keep up to date on your regular check-ins with Drs. D, Woo, Shamoun, and your favorite Petaluma ortho crew.
🥪 Pack smart: Fill those lunchboxes and serve after-school snacks with braces-friendly treats (think soft wraps, cheese sticks, fruit slices, and frozen yogurt!).
🛡️ Protect your progress: Heading into a new sports season? Always guard that smile with the right mouthguard.
Your smile is a beautiful work in progress, and we’re here to help you rock it all school year long!
