July 12 I went for a consult. Ortho (Dr Nelson)is very nice, the office is very modern and clean. You do a computer check in and they seem to move very fast.

Wll I have become an addict too I guess, and I dont get my braces on for 2 more weeks. I am the type to need certain routines or I let things go. I figured if I started the routines when I made the descion to get braces, I would have less problem sticking to it. Today I started adding in the salt wa...

I have been looking around for either and cant find them at all. I have been to Bartells, Walgreens, Riteaid and Walmart. As far as I can tell the blue stuff isnt back on the market yet and I cant find the disclosing tablets anywhere but on line from some dental site.

Kiwi you are right your tongue can be a good guage for what you need to do. I also find that now that I have made a decsion to take care of my teeth...

Ok so as I prepare for my b-day I am curious what you all do for your morning, lunch (at work), and before bed oral cleaning routines. I work as a nurse and I will be lucky if I can do a quick rinse on my lunch. I want to start a rountine now before the braces go on, so its not another new thing on ...
