Answers:
After a milkshake, I would, but you don't have to brush after every drink you have; just after every meal or every thing you eat..

also, for the flossing, just keep flossing, your gums will get used to it; they are just very weak at this moment..Health Question & Answer

Call your orthodontist about the gum problem and the flossing to make sure you are doing everything the way he / she wants it done..

Milkshakes have high sugar content, so you will need to brush that off to prevent it from starting a cavity..Health Question & Answer

Don't brush immediately after eating and drinking, wait half an hour to an hour as the sugar can act a bit like a paint stripper and strip the enamel off your teeth.. Give your saliva time to neutralise your mouth..Health Question & Answer

depends on how long you've been flossing.. + braces im sure that sucks.. just keep flossing and it will get better, like way better.. also use waxed floss, that helps a lot..Health Question & Answer

yes, they have lots of sugar in them, even though they are liquid mostly....the sugar can still stick to your teeth and gums..Health Question & Answer

Yes, the sugar can still stick to your teeth around the braces.. Good Luck with the braces, I don't miss mine at all!Health Question & Answer
