How to Prevent Cavities While Wearing Braces

Braces can trap food and plaque, increasing the risk of cavities. Brush after every meal with fluoride toothpaste, focusing around brackets and along the gumline. Floss daily using floss threaders or orthodontic floss to clean under wires. Limit sugary, sticky, and hard foods that can damage braces and cause decay. Rinse with a fluoride or antibacterial mouthwash to strengthen enamel and reduce bacteria. Learn more u2013 https://barriebraces.com/how-to-prevent-cavities-while-wearing-braces/

  1. HOW TO PREVENT CAVITIES WHILE WEARING BRACES

  2. Braces create spaces where food and plaque can hide, making oral hygiene more challenging, but consistent care ensures a healthier smile throughout your orthodontic journey.

  3. Understand How Braces Affect Oral Health • Braces make brushing and flossing harder, leading to plaque buildup and cavities, but awareness of these risks is the first step in prevention. • Choose the Right Toothbrush and Technique • A soft-bristled or electric toothbrush helps clean around brackets and wires effectively, ensuring thorough cleaning and reducing the risk of plaque accumulation. • Flossing Made Easier with Braces • Using orthodontic floss threaders or water flossers simplifies flossing, helping to remove plaque from hard-to-reach areas and reducing the risk of cavities.

  4. Rinse with Fluoride and Mouthwash • Fluoride rinses strengthen enamel, while antibacterial mouthwashes reduce harmful bacteria, both essential for maintaining oral health during braces treatment. • Watch Your Diet • Avoid sugary and sticky foods that promote cavities, and choose teeth-friendly options like fruits, vegetables, cheese, and nuts for better oral health. • Schedule Regular Dental Checkups • Routine dental visits ensure professional cleanings, fluoride treatments, and early detection of decay, keeping your teeth healthy during orthodontic treatment.
