KEEP CALM & BRUSH ON DURING COVID-19

During this time of uncertainty, we realize how interconnected we all are in this community and how important it is that we all work together for a bigger goal. It is essential that we all stay calm and keep our minds and bodies healthy. Keeping you and your family’s daily routine is essential during this time of social distancing. In a society when 100 miles per hour seems to be the norm, stillness can feel a bit scary and strange for some. Embracing this time to keep calm and create a routine that brings positivism and a sense of “normalcy” is important. This is the time we should take to create a positive environment by connecting with our kids, enriching our souls and supporting our community. Ways in which we can stay connected and stay health include:

• Good, positive communication reassuring our kids and loved ones that this shall pass.
• Regular family activities, such as games, reading together, cooking, doing yard work, doing homework together, etc. to keep mind healthy and worry-free.
• Communicating virtually with our friends and family to share a smile and great conversation.
• Sufficient sleep to keep a healthy diet and daily exercising which is vital for your health and overall wellness.
• Remember the importance of regular brushing and flossing with your orthodontic appliances. Brush and floss after every meal to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Be sure to use Antiseptic mouthwashes that can be used to fight and kill bacteria. Mouthwashes that contain fluoride such as ACT are very beneficial to fight tooth decay and decalcification. Oral Hygiene Products can be found at any of your nearby pharmacies or grocery stores.

We are positive that with the communities’ efforts to keeping our social distancing to “flatten the curve”, we all can overcome these circumstances. Before you know it, we will be back to our regular daily lives and schedules, which includes your orthodontic appointments. We can’t wait to continue to work with you on creating that healthy beautiful smile you deserve!
