Your Back-to-School Oral Care Essentials for Braces Wearers.
Whether you’re rocking braces in high school, middle school, or elementary school, the below Ekong Smile back-to-school braces kit will help you have an awesome school year.
1. Dental Floss and Interdental Brushes
If you are wearing braces you’ll know that flossing can be complicated, but it is very important. So, it’s a must to floss while wearing braces. There are special floss threaders designed to slide under your wires, making it easier to clean in between your teeth thoroughly.
Ekong Smile has floss which you can use to clean your teeth in school in case food gets stuck between your teeth or around your braces.
2. Water Flossers
Water Flossers use a gentle stream of water to flush away debris on your braces and areas where thread floss or toothbrush may not reach, leaving your teeth feeling fresh and clean.
3. Electric Toothbrushes vs. Manual Toothbrushes
For high schoolers, if you’re all about excellent cleaning, an electric toothbrush is the best toothbrush for you. It does the work for you, ensuring a thorough cleaning without much effort. For younger schoolers, a good manual or ordinary soft-bristle toothbrush works wonders for your braces too. Just add your favourite fluoride toothpaste and brush around those wires and brackets, or in between your teeth.
Ekong Smile manual toothbrushes or electric toothbrushes are always easy to fit in your school bag, making it easier to brush your teeth after lunch.
4. Fluoride Toothpaste
Fluoride is a natural mineral in many foods and is often added to drinking water too. It helps you fight against cavities. Fluoride is very important for our teeth. That’s why we usually need a little extra of it in the toothpaste to make our teeth strong and resistant to cavities.
5. Mouth Spray for bad breath
For a quick freshen-up before that pop quiz or between classes, Ekong Smile pocket-sized mouth spray is the best for you. It helps you fight bad breath. A spray or two, and you’ll feel confident knowing that your friends won’t perceive any mouth odour because your breath will be super-fresh.
6. Mouthwash
Mouthwash differs from mouth spray. Swish and gargle it around your mouth and spit. It fights off those nasty bacteria, leaving your mouth feeling clean and fresh that lasts all day. It’s also gentle on your sensitive teeth and gums.
7. Orthodontic Wax
Are you new to braces or Is your brace poking you? Make sure you go back to school with Orthodontic wax for those unexpected moments. A little wax can go a long way in keeping your mouth irritation-free or help to cover any spots that might get sore while you’re busy chatting with friends or playing.
8. Emergency Kit
This emergency kit or orthodontic kit is your brace’s first aid kit for any unexpected situations that might arise during school hours. So, make sure you go back to school with a small kit containing orthodontic wax, pain relievers, and a tiny mirror.
9. Regular Orthodontic Check-ups
While in school, don’t forget your regular orthodontic appointments. Your regular check-up will help your orthodontist keep an eye on your progress, make adjustments, and ensure you’re on track to that perfect smile.
Conclusion
Remember, no matter your age, taking care of your braces is a journey and is a team effort between you and your orthodontist. With proper care, it’ll work fast and effectively.
So, purchase your travel-sized back-to-school dental floss, water flosser, electric or manual toothbrush, mouth spray, and mouthwash, from Ekong Smile. These oral care products are designed in a way that they can easily fit into your school bag or travel kit.
