Oral Hygiene Instructions (Phase II)
Following these directions will decrease your overall time in braces, and decrease the changes of developing "white spots" on your teeth!
MORNING
- After eating breakfast, brush for 3 minutes using Prevident 5000® toothpaste.
- Rinse with Listerine® for 30 seconds.
MID-DAY (and after meals)
- Brush for 3 minutes using regular fluoride toothpaste.
BEFORE BED
- Brush for 3 minutes using regular fluoride toothpaste.
- Rinse with Phos-Flur® for one minute. DO NOT rinse with water afterwards, as the fluoride needs to remain on your teeth overnight.
- Remember to floss daily!
PLEASE NOTE
- The first tube of Prevident 5000® and bottle of Phos-Flur® are provided by DeLuke Orthodontics, PC at no charge to the patient.
- Subsequent tubes/bottles can be purchased from our office as needed.
Remember to floss daily and see your dentist every 6 months for routine check-ups and cleanings. |
