During the month of October, you likely take a break from your health regimen with some Halloween candy and holiday celebration. However, you can enjoy the season and still improve the health of your smile. As Orthodontics Health Month, there’s no better time to educate yourself and your loved ones about how your family dentist can help you to enjoy a healthier life. Below is a quick guide to what this month is about and how the treatment can help. 

How Can Orthodontics Help?

Although orthodontics is typically thought of as a cosmetic procedure, the fact of the matter is that straight teeth help you to maintain a healthier smile. They are easier to clean and brush, helping you fend off problems like dental cavities and periodontal—or gum—disease. Additionally, well-aligned teeth make people feel great about themselves, which improves self-esteem and work performance. 

If you have been living with crooked, uncomfortable teeth, start on the road to a healthier, more beautiful smile today by meeting with Drs Emery & Scuro DMD, PC​, in Rochester, NY. In addition to helping kids, teenagers, and adults with orthodontic care, this kind and caring dental team also offers laser dentistry, dental implants, teeth whitening, and routine preventive care.
