National Children's Dental Health Month!

It is National Children's Dental Health Month! At Legler Orthodontics we believe in the importance of good oral health at young age, therefore we have made it our mission for the past 20 years to raise awareness through visiting elementary schools along the treasure coast and teaching children the importance of developing healthy habits at an early age.

An early start to developing good oral health will give children a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. We also want our patients to recognize the importance of oral health-even while wearing braces. Although brushing and flossing with braces requires extra time and effort, ignoring your dental health can significantly compromise your results. Additionally, a lack of brushing and flossing can lead to tooth decay, sore and swollen gums and decalcification.

We are happy to explain why effective brushing and flossing is so critical during orthodontic treatment. If you have questions, send us a message on Facebook! For a guide to brushing and flossing with braces, please visit our website at www.bracesatlegler.com.
