Do I have to brush my retainer?

Bachmann Orthodontics

You would never consider going days without brushing your teeth. However, many retainer wearers go for long periods without cleaning these devices.The same bacteria that build up on teeth can grow on a retainer. As a result, putting an unclean retainer in your mouth is like applying a bacteria and plaque-laden solution to the teeth and gums..How to clean your retainer?When brushing teeth, people should brush their retainer as well. It is best to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-whitening toothpaste. Afterwards, remove the retainer and rinse it thoroughly. People should brush their teeth again after removing the retainer to clean any areas covered by it..What can we do to make you smile?Enquire about braces > Book a consultation today.....#Retainer #BACHMANNORTHODONTICS #BACHMANNSMILE #plaque, #DIAMONDS #braces #speedbraces #SMILE #SMILENEWS #TEETH #toothbrush #jewelry #invisalign #clearbraces #aligners

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
