Can you believe it’s already the end of June? School’s out, the sun is shining (finally!), and summer fun is in full swing. Whether you’re heading out on vacation, relaxing by the pool, or just soaking up some well-deserved downtime, we want to help you keep your smile shining bright all summer long.

At Perennial Smiles, we know summer can be a little unpredictable, so we put together a few quick tips to help you stay on track with your treatment while still enjoying all the things that make this season so great!

Traveling? Take Your Smile Kit!

If you’ve got summer trips planned, don’t forget to pack a little orthodontic “go bag” with your toothbrush, floss, wax, rubber bands (if you wear them), and maybe even a small mirror. You’ll thank yourself when you need to freshen up after a snack on the road.

Snack Smart

We get it, summer is full of yummy temptations (hello, popcorn and caramel ice cream?!). Just be mindful of anything too sticky, crunchy, or chewy that could damage your braces. If you’re wearing aligners, remember to take them out before eating, and brush before putting them back in.

Some of our favorite braces-friendly summer treats? Watermelon, soft-serve ice cream, smoothies, and cold pasta salad. Trust us, your brackets will thank you.

Hydration = Happy Teeth

Drinking water helps keep your mouth clean and your body cool. Try to limit sugary drinks and sodas. They can sneak in and cause issues with your teeth and appliances. Keep a water bottle with you and sip throughout the day.

Don’t Skip Those Appointments

We know summer schedules can be busy (and let’s be honest, sometimes a little chaotic), but it’s super important to keep your ortho appointments. Each visit helps move you one step closer to your dream smile...and we want to keep you on track!

If you’re heading out of town, just give us a heads-up and we’ll work with you to adjust your schedule.

Show Off That Summer Smile!

We LOVE seeing your progress! If you take any fun summer photos showing off your smile, tag us on social media! It always brightens our day.

From all of us here at Perennial Smiles, we hope your June is full of laughter, sunshine, and smiles!

With the launch of our new website,we thought it might be fun to incorporate a blog to keep everyone updated of certain information and events happening in the practice and community, announcements, or other orthodontic information.  With this said, I wanted to write a little post about some great news that happened recently.

With the roller coaster of a ride that 2020 has been so far with lock-downs and Covid-19 pandemic that has reshaped the way we practice, we are excited to announce some great news!  The Canton Repository annual Best of the Best contest for 2020 has recently come to a close.  We feel greatly honored and humbled to be voted "Best Orthodontist" for a 5th year in a row!  It means so much to us to be part of this community and have such great support all around.  We truly appreciate each and every one of you and want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Dr. Morgan and our fantastic team will continue to uphold our practice standards to keep serving this great community.  We love being here to bring out the best in people and literally put smiles on their faces.  When you love what you do, you never really have to work.

 

Thank you for taking the time to visit our blog. Please check back often for updates on fun and exciting events happening at our office, important and interesting information about orthodontics and the dental industry, and the latest news about our practice.

Feel free to leave a comment or question for our doctors and staff - we hope this will be a valuable resource for our patients, their families, and friends!
