Summer vacation can be a challenge

Summer vacation can be a challenge to many orthodontic patients. The daily routine of bathing, dressing, flossing and brushing usually becomes somewhat eratic when our regimen becomes varied and more flexible. Vacations, sleepover or late nights in the hood can lead to a relaxation of good brushing, flossing and daily flouride rinse. In fact, gingivites

usually peeks during summer and holiday vacations. Swollen, bleeding gums with heavy plaque can lead to gum recession, bone loss and white spot lesions over all teeth. Thats why we must keep up the discipline even in the summer. Straight teeth with multiple spots can not be the end results just because of a few weeks off.Power to u and the "Grand Slam Smile".
