Christmas is all about spending time with friends and family but for most people the best part is the food. It’s always hard to stay away from the sweet treats and buffet table on the big day. This is fine unless you have braces where should take extra care as it can cause damage. Keep reading to find out how to get through the festive season now.
It’s almost Halloween, the holiday of trick or treating, fancy costumes and endless confectionery. Although it is a fun holiday for all, it’s a little more complicated for those wearing braces and a nightmare for many orthodontists. It’s already known that sweets and treats have the potential to break brackets and bend wires, meaning more appointments to fix those issues. So here are a few treats you can and can’t eat this Halloween:
A dentist assesses, diagnoses and treats diseases and conditions in the mouth. They may also monitor the soft tissues of the face, checking for any abnormalities.
An orthodontist is initially trained as a dentist but has then gone onto specialise in orthodontics. This is a further qualification carried out over 3 years. An orthodontist, like those at Oldham Orthodontics, treat irregularities in relation to your teeth and jaw. The frequency of your appointments with your dentist or your orthodontist depends what you are attending for.
