February Marks National Children's Dental Health Month

At Moles Orthodontics, February is National Children's Dental Health Month, as well as National Dental Health Month, and Dr. Moles and team thought we’d promote good oral hygiene among our patients with a few tips and tricks, courtesy of the American Dental Association.

• Teeth brushing techniques: It takes only two minutes to properly brush using short, gentle strokes and devoting extra attention to the gumline, areas around fillings and hard-to-reach areas such as the back teeth.

• Flossing: hold the floss snugly between thumbs and index finger and insert it between each of the teeth, making sure to go beneath the gumline and curving the floss around the base of each tooth.

• Snack wisely: choose healthy snacks such as cheese, fruits and vegetables and avoid crunchy, sticky, chewy candies that can stick to the teeth. If you eat these snacks, be sure to brush after doing so.

• Carbonated or sugary drinks: these drinks create acids that can damage the teeth when mixed with saliva, so they should be avoided altogether. If you’re going to drink one of these beverages, don’t sip on it throughout the day. Rather, drink it and then brush your teeth.

• Regular dental visits: in addition to seeing our team at Moles Orthodontics during your orthodontic treatment, you should visit your dentist for professional check-ups and teeth cleaning appointments about every six months.

National Dental Health Month aims to increase awareness about the importance of our patients' oral health. If you have any questions about keeping your mouth healthy, or about your treatment with Moles Orthodontics, please feel free to give us a call or ask us on Facebook!

"I'm 32 years old - am I too old for braces?"

At Moles Orthodontics, nobody is “too old” for braces! In fact, we read a fascinating stat recently: adults getting braces has actually jumped 24 percent since 1996! Also, one of every five patients in orthodontic treatment nowadays is over the age of 21. Of course, braces help make your teeth stay strong, healthy and become perfectly-aligned. But we’d like you to know orthodontic treatment with Drs. Moles, Ferri or Sanfelippo can be successful at any age, and adults especially appreciate the benefits of a beautiful smile.

In fact, we are proud to offer an adult-friendly option for straightening teeth called Invisalign, which uses a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after.

If you’ve been thinking about getting that perfect smile, we would love to have you visit for a consultation at our Milwaukee, Racine or Brookfield offices. Please give us a call to set one up and have a wonderful rest of the week!

January featured patient reviews for Moles Orthodontics!

It’s no secret that at Moles Orthodontics, we love hearing from our patients. Lately, our office, serving Milwaukee, Racine, Brookfield, Greenfield, Waukesha and surrounding communities, has been getting some pretty great patient testimonials! We thought we’d share some with you today! Happy Monday!

"Thanks Dr. Moles! I had to have braces when I was in high school, as a senior. That was upsetting to find out.. UNTIL I heard they have SureSmile, and I was in and out of braces in 6mo and everyone at school was able to see it before graduation." ~ Justin K.

"You can’t go wrong with Moles & Company! Every aspect of the orthodontic care my daughters received from Moles was great. Over the 6 years, I came to appreciate the timely appointments, friendly staff, and quality of care our family received. We almost always could schedule appointments for routine wire & band changes to fit our busy schedules. I can't say enough good things about the staff. Their absolutely wonderful! We had our favorites, but truth be told, all staff members are trained, experienced and go above and beyond for customer care. Dr. Moles is dedicated to providing quality care and offering his clients the best available treatment options. He was also was open to feedback from our dentist and took time to address my concerns and make adjustments to treatment when needed. Thanks! Choosing an orthodontist is very important and the quality of care in the marketplace can vary widely. You can't go wrong with Moles & Company!"

"OUSTANDING SERVICE AND QUALITY! "I Had my ortho done there and the service was top notch! I never had questions because everything was thorough and told to me in advance. (Customer Service still exists) & My treatment with SureSmile was a breeze and I was done in less than a year- I highly recommend Dr. Moles, and his staff!"

Are those rumors about swallowing bubble gum true?

At Moles Orthodontics, we know the rumors going around – mostly among young people – that once you swallow a piece of chewing gum it will stake a claim and take up residency in your stomach for at least seven years! We really hate to take all the fun out of the mystery, but the truth is that chewing gum, when swallowed, will enter the stomach and move through the digestive system just like any other piece of food and leave the body long before seven years! So, if you ever have accidentally swallowed a piece of gum, there is no need to worry!

This being said, gum does not have any dietary benefits, so while it’s not harmful to swallow, you still want to avoid swallowing it. If you are a gum-chewer, make sure you chew sugarless gum, because gum with sugar can lead to cavities. Sugarless gum still has the same amount of flavor, but with less cavity causing ingredients. You see, when the bacterium in your mouth breaks down sugar, what’s left behind is acid. This acid eats away at the enamel coating of your teeth, causing holes that we call cavities. Cavities can lead to other long term mouth problems if they are not treated in time, so it is best to try and avoid overexposing your teeth to too many harmful substances!

Happy (sugar-free) gum chewing from Moles Orthodontics!

The importance of visiting your dentist during treatment, from Moles Orthodontics

Are you brushing teeth twice a day and flossing during your orthodontic treatment? If the answer is yes, we think that’s great! But, Dr. Moles and our team at Moles Orthodontics would like to remind you to visit your general dentist every six months (or as recommended) in addition to taking good care of your oral health during orthodontic treatment. Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health. Your dentist can:

•Check for problems that might not be seen or felt
•Detect cavities and early signs of decay
•Treat oral health problems early
•Show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth

During an oral exam the doctor will check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing. If you have not been to the dentist in the last six months, it’s time for you to schedule an appointment!

Hope this helps. Give us a call if you have any questions. Happy New Year!
