Dr. Michael Scott and his team are always available to answer your questions about your teeth and orthodontic treatment. We strive to provide our patients with quality care in a warm, family-friendly environment.

We also recognize that the most important questions are our responsibility to answer. Here are the top 5 questions Dr. Scott believes a patient/parent needs to know at the initial consultation visit:

1. What is the orthodontic problem?
2. Do any permanent teeth need to be removed?
3. What exactly will be done during braces?
4. How long will the patient wear braces?
5. How much will the treatment cost?

We then take care to answer all other questions a patient/parent might have. We try to anticipate questions for them, especially if this is their first orthodontic experience. We want your orthodontic experience to be informative and comfortable.

If you have any specific questions or need to to schedule a consultation give us a call or find us on Facebook!

Great question!

If you are brushing and flossing daily during your orthodontic treatment with Dr. Michael Scott, we think that’s great! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for you to visit your general dentist every 3-to-6 months in addition to brushing your teeth and flossing (and visiting Insert Name of Practice), of course). Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health, especially during orthodontic treatment.

Tooth decay, which is caused by sugars left in your mouth, can turn into an acid, which in turn can break down your teeth. Children are at high risk for tooth decay because adolescents tend to be lax in their oral hygiene habits. Proper brushing and flossing routines, combined with regular dental visits, help keep tooth decay away.

If you have any questions, please be sure to keep ask Dr. Michael Scott or our team during your next adjustment appointment, or ask us on Facebook!
