Braces and your oral Hygiene in Weybridge

It can often be hard enough for someone as it is in Weybridge, being fitted with fixed braces, but it can get worse still before it gets better, as you have to learn how to clean them as well and this is an art-form in itself, especially if the brace is a complex one. All that wiring is the perfect haven for food to get stuck in and for bacteria to breed. When you have a fixed brace fitted, your dentist should give you all the best tips on how to avoid further complications from arising. You can start by getting a long bristled brush that will get behind the wiring and fixtures. Floss and inter-dental brushes will become your other greatest allies in the removal of food from around your braces and though it will take a while to get the hang of, it’s worth persevering with. To back these up are some great plaque busting mouthwashes to help keep your teeth clear of problems. But probably the best innovation you can use is a dye, that when swished around the mouth, highlights any build up of plaque, which then you and your dentist can get to work on.
