Take 5: Straight Talk About Grapevine, Texas Braces

Having braces in Grapevine uncovers unique concerns.

Hello, I’m Dr. Scott Mason at Mason Cosmetic & Family Dentistry. I support healthy oral hygiene and regular, consistent check-ups. Hygiene for braces is a bit different.

Here are five essential concerns to keep in mind with braces:

1. Be Careful What You Eat
Sweets and extra food stuck in hard-to-notice spaces may lead to plaque and yellowing around the appliances in your mouth. Avoid sweets, juices, sodas, anything that will stain your teeth. Also, sticky things like gum and caramel can break the equipment in your mouth.

2. Consider a Mouthguard
Sports are the center of life for many Grapevine families. We’re an active community. I love that. A quality mouthguard provides important protection for both your teeth and braces.

3. Take Time for Gum Health
Maintaining healthy gums requires deliberate brushing and flossing. In the past, two minutes of quality brushing was acceptable. Braces are trickier to clean. What’s another minute to make sure every nook and cranny is taken care of?

4. Check the Mirrors
Humans are exceptional at noticing flaws. Check your smile often in a mirror to keep your braces free of obvious food particles.

5. Smile with Confidence
At first, people will notice the change in your smile. But if you’re relaxed about your new braces, soon your friends will simply look past them without even noticing.

Thanks for visiting my blog today, hope it helps.

I’ve been treating patients in Grapevine, Southlake, Grapevine and beyond since 1993. You name it – dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, CEREC same day porcelain crowns – we do it.

I’ve got the expertise, experience, tools, and team you need to maintain a healthy smile. I deal daily with sedation dentistry, implant-supported dentures, periodontal disease treatment, cosmetic dentistry, and implant restorations. The cost of a smile makeover, cosmetic dentistry, and celebrity-caliber teeth may be more affordable than you think.

Meet with me today and we can go over the possibilities and straightforward options to meet your needs. Can’t wait to see you!

  Mason Dental has completely changed my experience with dentists for the better! I have always been terrified of the dentist, but everyone here is so kind and knowledgeable, and they make you feel safe and heard! Dawn is an incredible hygienist! The one morning I came in, emotional from a rough night prior to my appointment, the lady at the desk prayed over me! Overall a very good crew, would recommend to anyone!

  I changed dentist to Dr Mason after bad experiences with another office in the area. After using them for the last couple of years, I still love how they inform, provide options, but never pressure me when sharing the types of services they offer

  I came in for a procedure that was to take no more than a couple of hours but due to my complicated anatomy it took much longer and Carrie was amazing. She was professional, nice and kept me comfortable throughout. Carrie was skilled and knowledgeable and she even stayed late after the clinic closed on her own time. I recommend going to Mason as it is by far the best Dental practice I have been to. Thank you

  I have been coming to Dr. Mason for 20 years. The entire staff is friendly, professional, caring, and kind. Dr. Mason always is interested in you as an individual and not just a patient on which to complete some dental work. I also appreciate the visibility of “Our Promise to Our Patients.” Good people, top of the line equipment and service. Every assistant or hygienist is personable, gentle, and kind. Thanks to all!!!
