How should oral hygiene be performed?
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for the health and longevity of dental prostheses such as crowns, bridges, and removable or fixed prostheses.
Here are some general guidelines for oral hygiene specific to each type of prosthesis:
Removable denturesy should be removed from the mouth and washed to hygiene. This should be done after meals using a specific soft brush, blue soap, and water. When going to sleep, they should be removed and placed in a dry location. Once a week, a specific effervescent tablet should be used to clean the denture. Do not soak them in water as fungi may develop. Avoid using toothpaste as it is abrasive for the denture and can cause wear and loss of color.
Ceramic veneers:
It is done in the same way as natural teeth. Therefore, while brushing teeth, brush the veneers as well. Afterwards, pay attention only to the use of dental floss, which should be removed by pulling from one end.
Dental implants:
To sum up, the hygine depends on the type of rehabilitation (crown, bridge, semi-removable, removable or fixed prosthesis). It is important to include dental floss for fixed prostheses and the use of a water jet.
