Yes, it is.\u00a0 But cavities can form between your teeth quickly and easily with braces on.\u00a0 There are tools to help make it easier for you.\u00a0 Floss threaders and Superfloss have a flexible portion of the floss to help it get under the wires.\u00a0 Water flossers are great for gum health and rinsing food and plaque from teeth, but they are not substitutes for flossing.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Use toothpaste with Fluoride in it.<\/strong> Fluoride binds to softened enamel to make it chemically harder thus preventing cavities from forming.\u00a0 Fluoride is your friend when you have orthodontic hardware in your mouth.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Drink a lot of water.<\/strong> Any beverage besides water will make the oral environment acidic and more prone to cavities.\u00a0 Sipping on beverages throughout the day significantly increases your risk for dental decay.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>See your dentist every six months for routine cleanings and fluoride treatments.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simmonsyoung.com\/PediatricDentalBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Signature-300x60.jpg\"
