When sugar mixes with saliva, it creates a sticky film (plaque) that coats the teeth.Brushing can remove plaque, but that becomes harder to do with braces. And if you're unable to remove this sticky film, there's a risk of tooth decay.Be mindful that braces are sensitive to damage, so you'll need to avoid certain foods for as long as you have braces.These include sticky and hard foods that can damage the wires or bands, or cause a bracket to separate from a tooth.What can we do to make you smile?Call Candice and make an appointment today 09 448 1128.....#nuts #culinaria #food #vegan #powerfoods #sweeds #desert #fruits #fizzy #smile #xmas #bachmannsmile #nuts #bachmannorthodontics #foodie #nut #nutrition #culinarychefsportal #cooking #eating #healthylifestyle #healthyfoods
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
