"Staying Cavity-Free While in Braces"

Sept. 17
Melissa (Hammerstein) and Tony
Oleshansky of Waterford are delight-
ed to announce the birth of their
son, Brody Sol (Nisson). Welcoming
home Brody with a smile and open
arms is 2-year-old big sister Jolie
Reese. Sharing their happiness and
love are grandparents Marlene and
Bill Oleshansky of West Bloomfield,
Carol and Michael Corman of West
Bloomfield and Ann and Stan
Hammerstein of Ingelwood, Fla.
Proud great-grandmother is Edith
Iskowitz of West Bloomfield. Brody
Sol is named in loving memory of his
maternal great-grandfather Solomon
Hammerstein. His Hebrew name
was chosen in loving memory of his
paternal great-grandfather Nathan
Oleshansky.

Those who wear the non-removable orthodontic appli-
ances known as braces must guard against decay spring-
ing up around the edges of brackets and bands by paying
meticulous attention to oral hygiene. Aside from rinsing,
flossing, and brushing after meals, patients also have the
option of applying a prescription gel to their teeth as a
means of preventing decay or decalcification. A recent
Nelson Hersh
study shows that those patients with braces who brushed,

months, reduced levels of plaque (the sticky, germ laden
substance that coats teeth and encourages cavities), gum
swelling, and gum bleeding by about half, when compared with those patients
who did not use the gel and only brushed. There are also mouth rinses that
contain a .63% stannous fluoride and can be a supplement to the oral hygiene
routine. Many offices carry these at their offices for your convenience, or can
write a prescription for their patients.

Dr. Daniel and
Angela (Dings)
Rosenberg of
Novi are thrilled
to announce the
birth of their son,
Ty Matthew (Mori
Rosenberg
Avraham). Excited
big sister is Dylan Ava, 27 months.
Sharing in their joy are adoring grand-
parents Ann Dings of Dundee, Leonard
and Susan Rosenberg of Ocala, Fla.,
and Joanne and Jack Rubin of West
Bloomfield. Excited great-grandparents
are Gertrude Stern of West Bloomfield,
Marjorie Tilley of Florida and Lola
and Sol Rubin of West Bloomfield. Ty's
Hebrew name was chosen in loving
memory of his great-aunt Linda Goren.

Electric toothbrushes can also help the patient comply with good oral hygiene,
but any soft bristle toothbrush can be used, and if the plague is removed, the
teeth will move more efficiently, remain cavity-free, and stain-free. For patients
with work or school, our office also provides a travel toothbrush, which makes
it more convenient to brush when not at home.

In general, excellent orthodontic treatment can only be obtained with coopera-
tive and informed patients. Once orthodontic therapy begins, the patient will
be expected to continue to see the family dentist for regular check-ups, dental
cleanings and routine care. Routine dental care will help ensure best results
from orthodontic therapy.

2300 Haggerty Road, Suite 1160, 248-926-4100.
