It’s that time of year again! The temperature is cooling off, fall sports are underway, and all the kids are headed back to school. At Oyster Bay Orthodontics we want to offer a few helpful tips for going back to school with braces!
- Make sure to follow the 2×2 brushing rule: brush your teeth for TWO minutes, TWO times each day! This will help keep your teeth and braces clean, which leads to quicker appointments and healthier teeth. If you want to brush after lunch, keep a toothbrush in your backpack.
- Bring a water bottle to school. Drinking water throughout the day helps to keep your mouth clean, fight cavities, and prevent bad breath. Stick with water and you can’t go wrong. (more…)
Do you know why we celebrate Labor Day? Labor Day is a federal holiday in the USA and has been since June 28, 1894, when Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September a national holiday. The purpose of Labor Day is to honor laborers of all kinds…the working man and the working woman and their achievements. Yes, this also includes orthodontists and orthodontic team members at Oyster Bay Orthodontics.
