Exeter Smiles Educates Patients on Preventing Cavities After Braces

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Feb. 20, 2025 - PRLog -- Exeter Smiles, a leading provider of affordable braces and Invisalign, emphasizes the importance of oral care after orthodontic treatment to prevent cavities. While braces help create straighter, healthier smiles, patients must take extra steps to maintain good dental hygiene once their braces are removed.

Traditional braces at Exeter Smiles are available for only $3,995. This all-inclusive price covers x-rays, retainers, adjustments, repairs, and even emergency visits. After treatment, patients receive guidance on maintaining their smiles, including strategies for cavity prevention.

"Achieving a straight smile is just the first step," says Dr. Joel Silman, dentist at Exeter Smiles. "After braces, it's essential for patients to practice excellent oral hygiene to protect their teeth from cavities and ensure long-term dental health."

To prevent cavities after braces, Exeter Smiles recommends:

• Brushing and Flossing Regularly: Brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily helps remove plaque buildup.
• Using a Fluoride Toothpaste and Mouthwash: Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent decay.
• Limiting Sugary and Acidic Foods: Reducing consumption of sodas, candies, and acidic foods can lower the risk of enamel erosion.
• Scheduling Regular Dental Checkups: Routine visits to the dentist allow for early detection of potential issues.

Lehigh Valley braces patients can also explore Invisalign as an alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier for patients to maintain proper oral hygiene throughout treatment.
