Im sick of flossing my Braces and need help?

Ask your dentist for the special floss threaders that go between your teeth, or take a walk to the local pharmacy and ask to see the box of blue floss threaders. Brushing your teeth with a whitening toothpaste would help; not drinking tea, or coffee, or colas; making sure you brush your teeth for as long as it takes you to sing a song like “Yankee Doodle Dandy” might help. When the dentist adjusts your braces, the action pulls on your teeth to align them closer to where they need to be; the process is painful, not life-threatening, so you should not rely on pain killers for such a standard adjustment. The pain will pass, and remember, you are one of thousands that experience this pain from adjustment. The cleaning of teeth, the braces are for the purpose of improving your bite, which will make your teeth last longer. We hear your pain, but you are lucky to be able to have braces, as they are costly.
