Do I have to brush my retainer?

Bachmann Orthodontics

You would never consider going days without brushing your teeth. However, many retainer wearers go for long periods without cleaning these devices.The same bacteria that build up on teeth can grow on a retainer. As a result, putting an unclean retainer in your mouth is like applying a bacteria and plaque-laden solution to the teeth and gums..How to clean your retainer?When brushing teeth, people should brush their retainer as well. It is best to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-whitening toothpaste. Afterwards, remove the retainer and rinse it thoroughly. People should brush their teeth again after removing the retainer to clean any areas covered by it..What can we do to make you smile?Enquire about braces > Book a consultation today.....#Retainer #BACHMANNORTHODONTICS #BACHMANNSMILE #plaque, #DIAMONDS #braces #speedbraces #SMILE #SMILENEWS #TEETH #toothbrush #jewelry #invisalign #clearbraces #aligners

Poll: Is street parking fair game?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Some people are frustrated by their neighbours or neighbour's friends parking on the street outside their house. This means they have to park further away themselves.

Do you think it is inconsiderate to park directly outside a neighbour's house on the road? Or do you think street parking is fair game?

Share your thoughts below.

SCAM ALERT

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Own your Online website is part of the New Zealand government's work to raise understanding of cyber security issues for individuals and businesses, they have shared a message about a new scam that is targeting Kiwis.

Own Your Online say:
We are seeing a significant increase in reporting of ‘Hi Mum’ scams.
A ‘Hi Mum’ scam is a scam where a random message from an unknown number is sent to you claiming to be from a close relative, usually your son or daughter.
The fake relative often claims their phone is broken – which is why they’re contacting you from a different number – and will ask you to do something, sometimes asking you to help them with a payment or to do something by clicking a link.

If you receive one of these, don’t click the links. Try to contact your relative using their normal number which is probably still working.
You can also report these scam messages by forwarding free to Department of Internal Affairs on 7726
