June is the National Smile Month!

Now that we’re in June, the Romani Orthodontics Team thought we’d tell you June is National Smile Month, and a good time to remind all our patients to practice good oral hygiene, especially while in orthodontic treatment. According to our friends at the American Dental Association, a person's smile outranked eyes, hair and body as the most important physical feature!

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

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

Have a wonderful weekend!
