Did you opt for dental bridge for perfect smile? That is great!
But the procedure is not ended here. You have to take care of that smile.
A dental bridge can be a great way to have your all teeth back. After the holes and gaps removed from your teeth the eating and chewing become an easier task. Dental bridge fills the gap of missing tooth with a synthetic tooth. After having a bridge, steady cleaning and care is required to guarantee the increased life span of your dental bridge. Good denture cleaning is not only necessary for their appearance, it also protects your gums from aggressive oral thrash, mouth sores and other infection that sometimes occurs when people wear dentures.
Same as normal teeth, dentures and bridges are prone to get bits of food particles, plaque and tartar. Patients picking dental bridges ought to guarantee that they know how to clean under their bridge. It is quite easy to clean a denture which is not fixed, as you can remove it from your mouth. But cleaning underneath a fixed bridge is harder. Despite the fact that most people clean their fixed bridges as they regularly would with their other teeth, there is a chance that they ignore flossing them, as flossing under the fixed dentures is considerably hard.
False teeth is fixed in a way that it hangs over the gum line and stay in place by the support of the adjacent teeth. Due to this a gap appears between the teeth in which food and bacteria trap. Tooth brush cannot clean this area because of the narrow gap. Only flossing can do the miracle. If the complete cleaning is not performed the trapped bacteria can affect the lifespan of the fixed dentures and you might have to go through the process again.
Flossing should be done twice daily. You can brush and floss in the morning and before bed to achieve a complete oral hygiene. When you wake up do the gargles with fresh water, then floss your teeth inside out. There are many bridge floss threader available in market which are designed specifically to clean the narrow gap between your fixed bridge and gum line. Now your teeth are ready to brush. Use the brush in circular motion cleaning bit by bit from upper end to lower jaw line, spit out any debris coming out of your teeth to prevent it from sneaking back under the bridge. Now rinse with a mouthwash advised by your dentist. It will kill the remaining germs in your oral cavity that your brush might miss.
