Keep Your Smile Healthy During COVID-19

SURREY, British Columbia - May 1, 2020 - PRLog -- As the COVID-19 crisis continues in Canada (and across the globe), dentists in most areas of the country are still on lockdown in a national effort to #flattenthecurve. No regular check-ups, routine cleanings or elective dental procedures. Until we manage to control the spread of the coronavirus, Canadians will need to maintain their oral health at home.

Of course, we all know the basics of taking care of our teeth: every day, brush twice and floss at least once. But there are a few ways to keep your teeth extra safe and healthy to avoid dental emergencies during these uncertain times. Aura Orthodontics has created a guide to at-home oral health care to help get you started.

While brushing and flossing top the list of ways to keep your teeth and gums healthy, they're only the bare minimum. Protect your teeth from decay by eating healthy, whole foods. Prevent damage by wearing a mouthguard for any (physically distant) sports. Avoid sugary drinks and foods, embrace the strengthening power of fluoride, and when in doubt, book an online check-in with your Fraser Valley orthodontist (https://www.auraortho.com/).

Even if they can't see you in person right now, the Aura Orthodontics team is here to support your oral health, just like always. The office will remain closed until government officials advise otherwise, but Dr. Sharma, Dr. Lin and Dr. Koo are available for virtual appointments with existing patients. Have an orthodontic emergency? Want to make sure your treatment is on track? If you're already in treatment, simply book a digital check-in with Aura Orthodontics to get all the answers you need.

Before you know it, life will return to normal and you'll be able to visit your dentist just like before. Until then, take your oral health into your own hands with Aura Orthodontics' tips for healthy teeth at home and keep on smiling.
