How do Charleston patients take care of teeth bridges after placement by a cosmetic dentist?
Bridges are commonly used to restore a smile after tooth loss. These restorations are often chosen because they are fixed, affordable, and cosmetically appealing. Bridges are made of porcelain and are fabricated to be supported by the adjacent teeth. This is what keeps the bridge in place and allows patients an economical way to permanently improve their smiles.
While there are alternatives such as dental implants and partial dentures, many patients choose bridges. However, many Charleston area patients will ask their dentist how to take care of their teeth and bridges after they have been placed.
Bridges require patients to maintain good oral health after placement. Patients are encouraged to brush and floss just as they would their natural teeth. When flossing, patients may use a special floss threader to get under the bridge to remove any food particles or plaque that may be developing there. This is often a troublesome spot for patients to keep clean, and when it is not cleaned properly, can result in decay in the supporting teeth. This is why patients are encouraged to visit Dr. Greenberg of Mouth Carolina Dentistry, PA at least twice a year. This allows them to undergo a thorough professional cleaning and x-rays to check for tooth decay.
