The wires and bands on your braces may come loose 😯. If this happens, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can check and repair your appliance πŸ“². If any piece of your appliance comes off, be sure to save it and bring it to the office with you.

You can temporarily fix the loose wire by using the back of a spoon or the eraser end of a pencil to carefully and gently push the wire back into place. If the loose wire is causing irritation to your lips or cheeks, put wax or a wet cotton ball over the broken wire to relieve the pain. πŸ¦·πŸ’š

We have great news for athletes! β›·οΈπŸ“πŸ€

You can still play sports even while undergoing orthodontic treatment! If you do play sports, it’s recommended that you wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth and your appliance. Let your doctor know if you need help finding the right mouthguard for the best protection.

In case of a sports emergency, be sure to immediately check your mouth and appliance for damage. If you notice any loose teeth or appliance damage, please contact our office right away. You can temporarily relieve the discomfort by applying wax or rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater. πŸ’šπŸ¦·

1️⃣ Brush twice every day. The most important time to brush is before bed once your child has had their last food and drink for the day. πŸŒ€οΈπŸŒ„

2️⃣ Prepare the toothbrush with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Your little one has little teeth, so they do not need as much toothpaste as you do. This will help prevent them from accidentally swallowing any of the toothpaste. 🦷

3️⃣ Find a comfortable position for your toddler. A step stool is a good way to make sure they are not straining to reach the mirror. πŸ‘€πŸ˜·

4️⃣ The toothbrush should be positioned so that it is at a 45-degree angle toward the gum line. A gentle circular motion and back and forth motion should cover the full surface of each tooth. πŸ’š

Brushing your teeth is a key part of good oral hygiene and a bright, happy, and healthy smile 🀩. However, that does not mean that brushing your kid’s teeth (or convincing them that it is a good idea) is always easy. πŸ˜…

Do you know what the most common childhood disease is? It’s tooth decay. Tooth decay is caused by poor oral hygiene, bad brushing habits, and too few dentist visits. 😲

Brushing your teeth prevents plaque build-up, which is the cause of cavities, unhealthy gums, and gingivitis. Children should begin brushing as soon as their first tooth comes in. By brushing early, you are preventing cavities from the beginning as well as promoting life-long healthy dental habits. πŸ¦·πŸ’š

For both adults and children, an excellent dental experience is important to maintaining healthy teeth and a confident smile. So, finding the right fit is critical. πŸ€—πŸ’š

The most important aspect of practice is experience. There is a big difference between an adult or family dentist and a dentist who specializes in pediatric dentistry. Pediatric dentists complete years of extra schooling to understand and handle the complex needs that come with dental development. These specialized practices also foster a kid-friendly environment. πŸ¦·πŸ‘ΆπŸΌπŸ‘ΆπŸΌ

The enamel on your teeth is the hardest substance in your entire body, according to the American Dental Association.

Calcium helps keep tooth enamel strong. Calcium-rich foods include cheese, yogurt, sardines and salmon, seeds, beans and lentils, almonds, and whey protein. Eat salmon, milk, orange juice, mushrooms and other foods containing Vitamin D, as this important vitamin works with calcium to strengthen tooth enamel.

Strengthen your kid tooth enamel in 4 Easy steps:

1. Brush their teeth.
2. Use fluoride toothpaste.
3. Cut Out Sugar.
4. See your dentist regularly.

As your children grow πŸ‘ΆπŸΌ, so do their teeth 🦷. From teething babies to teenagers with braces, their teeth grow through a lot. San Marcos & San Antonio Pediatric Dentistry explains the process of tooth development in babies through permanent teeth. ‴️🦷

Typically babies begin teething at four to 6️⃣ months old. Teething is genetic and often depends on when the parents teethed as babies. Babies tend to cut their lower front teeth first. Signs of teething include excessive drooling, a mouth rash from drooling, a low-grade fever, chewing on hands and other objects, and fussiness. πŸ’š

By age 3️⃣, children have all of their teeth. Children then start losing their teeth around age 6️⃣. The children’s teeth typically fall out in the order they came in. The lower front teeth first and eventually their molars.

While it is possible for children to lose their teeth before the adult tooth underneath starts to erupt, teeth typically start to loosen because of the adult teeth erupting below. As children lose their baby teeth, their adult teeth grow in but do not cause as much pain and discomfort as when they first cut teeth as a baby. πŸ‘ΆπŸΌ

πŸ‘ΆπŸΌA few suggestions to help your child get through thumb sucking:

1️⃣ Children often suck their thumbs when feeling insecure. Focus on correcting the cause of anxiety, instead of the thumb sucking.

2️⃣ Children who are sucking for comfort will feel less of a need when their parents provide comfort. πŸ˜–πŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨

3️⃣ Reward children when they refrain from sucking during difficult periods, such as when being separated from their parents.

4️⃣ Your pediatric dentist can encourage children to stop sucking and explain what could happen if they continue.
