• Stop Gummy Smiles: WaterPik A Flossing Alternative
  One of the most common causes of gum tissue becoming puffy or actually growing over the teeth while wearing braces is the accumulation of bacteria. Braces can make it difficult if not impossible for some patients to keep everything squeaky clean underneath all that hardware. It is not surprising that some patients will not floss as often as they should. Waterpik irrigation can eliminate the need to floss and keep everything free of bacteria build up. Prevent excess tissue growth the easy way.
