Question:
What can I do now, I have braces and....?
I take pretty good care of my teeth brush at least one or twice a day and floss and recently started using a recommended mouthwash for braces that is supposed to prevent cavities but I just notice a very small cavity appearing under one of my brackets.
What am I gonna do when I get my braces off, how do they fix cavities on the front of a tooth, can they even?
I am freaking out because I have never had a cavity on the front of my tooth and I know people who have cavities where every bracket was and I don't want that to be me. I thought cavities from braces only appear when you never brush your teeth or take care of them which I definately do.
Answers:
Keep taking good care of your teeth so that cavity doesn't get any larger. Your dentist will be able to use a white filling & match it to the color of your tooth. It'll be ok.
