Are you brushing and flossing daily properly during your orthodontic treatment? If yes, 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 Dr. Benson, of course). Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health, especially during orthodontic treatment.

Your general dentist can check for problems that might not be seen or felt, detect cavities and early signs of decay, treat oral health problems early and show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth.

During an oral exam your dentist can check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing. If you have not been to the dentist in the last six months, let us know during your next visit and we will provide a few great references in the Lebanon, Mount Juliet, Hermitage, TN areas.

Last week, we asked you, our wonderful patients, what you most liked about your experience at Benson Orthodontics. We thought we'd share some with you today! Have a great weekend!

"April, the assistant who works on my braces, has been very helpful in answering my questions. Her kindness has also made this process a lot easier for me." ~Carol

"The entire team does an amazing job! I enjoy each visit in your office. The authentic personal touch is appreciated." ~Pamela

"I think Dr. Benson and all of the ladies that help us at the front desk, and those who work with her braces, go out of their way to help us feel like valued patients and always seem happy to give treatment." ~Sarah

Hey parents! Focusing on your kids' teeth and oral health so much that you're neglecting your own? If you've been thinking wistfully about having your own set of perfect teeth, our staff at Benson Orthodontics can help! We are specially trained to offer an adult-friendly option for straightening teeth called Invisalign.

This course of treatment consists of a set of clear aligners that are molded to fit your teeth using a proprietary technology. You wear them all day and night, except for meals, brushing, and flossing – when you can easily slip them out to make eating and cleaning a snap!

Because they're clear, your teeth will be steadily straightening – and no one will know it but you!

Please give us a call to set up a consultation, so we can discuss the specifics of your treatment.
