The night before braces and all through the house...

#1 Post by discomom »

not a creature what stirring, not even a mouse. My mouth was all snuggled and warm in my bed, not knowing that afternoon tomorrow could be dread! When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter, I ran to the bathroom and threw open the floss. When what to my wandering eyes should appear, but flossing with ease for the last time this year..... I think that I have lost my mind. Yes, I am certain of it. I will be glad when tomorrow's over and I can forget about getting braces put on, they will be ON!!! Have a great night!!! :lol: Lori

Interesting post there indeed... I will be looking forward to following your story!

As KK usually posts here is what she normally posts!

Before your b-day ...
* warm salt water rinses once a day – a pinch of salt in a small amount of warm water
* setup your travel dental cleaning kit, or buy a dentakit from this site
* stock up on consumables ... wax, mouthwash, interdental brushes, stiff ended floss etc
* never forget why you're doing this
* keep a positive attitude

On your b-day ...
* go to the toilet
* cover your lips with balm
* keep positive

After your b-day ...
* continue the daily salt rinses
* wax to prevent sores
* keep your body well hydrated
* chew to increase blood flow in your gums
* make sure your oral hygiene is A1
* be confident with your decision
* remember ... braces do not prevent us from doing anything, only we can do that!
* stay positive!

Here's to your journey being a great one! :banana:
