Cleaning teeth with spring-loaded braces requires meticulous care to remove debris from both brackets and springs.

Use an electric toothbrush for better access, a water flosser to clear debris, and a floss threader to navigate wires, flossing daily. Brush for two minutes, three times a day, paying close attention to the gum line and under wires.

Spring is the perfect time to refresh and reset, and that includes your oral hygiene routine—especially if you have braces. With the warmer weather, it’s the ideal moment to make sure your teeth are being properly cared for and that your orthodontic treatment is on track.

So visit us at Kids on 1st Denitstry, we are committed to helping you achieve the best possible results. If you have any concerns or need additional guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s make this season a fresh start for your smile and take your orthodontic journey to the next level!

People often say, “a baby takes calcium from your teeth.” That is not the reason teeth get damaged. The problem is the change in the mouth environment and habits, especially gums, acid, saliva, and plaque control. The ADA and ACOG both emphasize that oral problems during pregnancy are common and that dental care during pregnancy is safe.

Hormones make gums more reactive to plaque, so they can get swollen, bleed easily, and become tender. That’s why “pregnancy gingivitis” is common.

What helps
1. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
2. Floss daily
3. After vomiting, rinse first; don’t brush immediately
4. Keep up dental cleanings/checkups during pregnancy
5. Tell your dentist you’re pregnant or postpartum

Routine and even emergency dental care are considered safe during pregnancy.

For children, there are roughly two ways to help them love brushing: one is to constantly encourage the act of brushing, and the other is to use interesting things to praise them or attract their interest.

Some interesting methods I recommend are: having brushing games with the whole family at fixed times and places, seeing who gets the angle and timing just right. The kids get so excited they actually open wide so I can check their teeth; regularly attending dental health game lectures at community hospitals, letting children play the role of dentist, check for cavities, giving them a certain sense of urgency; setting up brushing to-do lists to enhance children’s sense of accomplishment.

For older children, start cultivating the habit of using dental floss, making sure that residue between teeth is cleaned.

Taking care of children really involves a lot of skills. Let’s share more and communicate together. Start by calling us at - +1 253-517-7780⁠

Lately the office has been filled with many new faces but if it’s been over 6 months… it’s time.
We can't stress enough:
✔️ Early check-ups = fewer problems
✔️Fewer problems = happier kids

Don’t make the same mistake most parents do:
Waiting until it hurts.

🫣 Prevention is faster.
🫣 Easier.
🫣 Less expensive.

Mondays can feel a little gloomy. If you said yes, I think we can both agree on just how horrible it can be for both your little one and yourself! 🥺 Your little one is having to go through pain and discomfort and you are having to watch while not being able to do much to help! It can be so heartbreaking and such a stressful time to go through, as you just want a quick and easy way to help take away their pain!

I’m not gonna lie—teething is the worst.
It’s sad, it’s painful, and yep… it can totally mess with sleep.

You might’ve heard that teething shouldn’t impact sleep at all… or that some babies sleep 12 hours and wake up with two new teeth 🦷🦷. It is true
