What is orthodontics?
Dr. Ellsworth, are orthodontics a specialty of dentistry?When you have a malocclusion or "bad bite," you have a dental or facial irregularity. Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of such irregularities. What does an orthodontist do?An orthodontist is a specially-trained U.S. dentist who has completed the required two to three year advanced residency program in orthodontics following completion of their four year dental program. Each program is accredited by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation. For more information about how we at Craig C.

Don't Forget to Floss! Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay-causing bacteria can hid between teeth where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line. Visit Our Office Regularly! Take good care of your smile. Remember to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams. Mouthwash Is Important, Too! Brushing and flossing may not be enough. The ADA now recommends using an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque and prevent gingivitis. |
