Smile! June marks National Smile Month!

At Apple Creek Orthodontics, we're having a difficult time believing that it's already June! As it turns out, today is a great day for Drs. Tomassetti and Lin to remind our patients that June is National Smile Month, which means it's not a bad time to get serious about practicing good oral hygiene between your visits to our office.

Here are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health so that you may celebrate National Smile Month for many, many years:

* Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Here's a helpful video showing you how to brush with your braces on.
* Floss everyday to clean between your teeth.
* Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks during your orthodontic treatment.
* Visit your dentist regularly (usually every six months apart) in addition to visiting our office.

We hope these tips help! Go out there and show everyone your great smile!!
