EAGAN, ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – Eagan Orthodontist Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth recently released a tip sheet on the ways in which good oral hygiene can improve the orthodontic treatment experience and even speed up treatment time.
A question commonly asked of the Eagan braces provider is how long orthodontic treatment takes, so Eisenhuth created the tip sheet for patients to refer to, she said.
“Basically, we want to get the point across to patients that brushing and flossing regularly, maintaining healthy gums and keeping up with routine dental visits absolutely makes a difference when it comes to the length of orthodontic treatment,” said Eisenhuth, who also is an Eagan Incognito braces provider.

EAGAN, ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – The Eagan orthodontics practice of Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth is on board as a sponsor again this year for several youth athletic programs.
Eisenhuth has sponsored local hockey, soccer, lacrosse and football programs for several years by offering custom-fitted mouth guards for players and providing check-ups to ensure players’ mouth guards fit properly.
“Mouth guards are a very important piece of safety equipment for children who play contact sports,” said the Eagan orthodontist.
They help protect against broken or chipped teeth, getting teeth knocked out, and they help protect against bone and root damage, according to the Consumer Guide to Dentistry. Mouth guards also help protect players of all ages from getting more serious injuries including concussions, fractured jaws, neck injuries and cerebral hemorrhages by helping to prevent situations where the lower jaw jams into the upper jaw.

EAGAN, ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – If you wear clear aligners or retainers, you know that keeping them clean and odor-free can be a challenge.
Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth, a Minneapolis orthodontist, has a couple of tips for keeping Invisalign and other types of clear plastic aligners looking good.
Avoid Toothbrush/Toothpaste
Normally, a toothbrush and toothpaste are great for cleaning a variety of appliances, but not in the case of clear, plastic aligners, said Eisenhuth, a Minneapolis Invisalign provider. The mildly abrasive texture of toothpaste scratches the plastic and changes it from clear to cloudy over time. (more…)

ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – Patients of the Apple Valley orthodontics practice of Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth gave generously once again this year during her annual candy buy-back program.
Patients donated close to 800 pounds of candy, which will be donated to U.S. Troops serving overseas, said Eisenhuth, an Apple Valley, MN orthodontist.
The candy buy-back program, which is in its fifth year, was designed to remove the temptation among Eisenhuth’s patients to eat chewy, sticky candies that could damage their braces by donating those potentially damaging candies in exchange for tokens that could be turned in for prizes. Patients received one token for every pound of candy they donated, and prizes included gift cards and toys.
The donated candy is shipped to U.S. soldiers who are stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Eisenhuth also ships toothbrushes and dental floss along with the candy, she said.
“Eating candy is fine, as long as you brush your teeth afterward,” said the Apple Valley Invisalign provider. “That’s why we include the dental care products in our care package to the soldiers.” (more…)
