CLEANING AROUND BRIDGES

As dental plaque also accumulates on the surface under the bridge cleaning around bridges is essential, people wearing bridges should use superfloss to clean the area daily.

Dental plaque accumulates underneath the bridge

Cleaning under your bridge

It is important to use superfloss to clean under your bridge.

  • Firstly, insert the stiffened end into the area between bridge and the tooth, then pull the superfloss until the spongy part reaches the bridge
  • Wrap the sponge floss around the real tooth, slide up and down to clean the adjacent tooth surface.
  • Gently move the spongy floss between the gum and the base of the bridge, use a soft back-and-forth motion to
  • remove plaque under the false tooth.
  • Then wrap the spongy floss around the real tooth at the other side of the bridge, slide up and down to clean the adjacent tooth surface.
  • Finally, slowly pull it out from the space between the tooth and the bridge.
  • Use floss to clean your other teeth to keep your whole mouth clean!

Consequences of unclean bridge

Every dentist in Perth and beyond confirm, that poor bridge hygiene may affect the health of the adjacent teeth and the health of the bridge itself, resulting in tooth decay and gum disease. Not caring for the bridge may mean loss of the bridge![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bottom=”0″ bg_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_heading title=”Smart Choice” subtitle=”We work with all major insurance companies” color=”#284b80″ el_class=”logo-title”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_images_carousel images=”3040,6826,6825,6823,6827″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_no” slides_per_view=”6″ hide_pagination_control=”yes” hide_prev_next_buttons=”yes” wrap=”yes”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row top=”0″ bottom=”0px”][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ el_class=”heading-title home-contact” css=”.vc_custom_1500270124899{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1510812935638{padding-right: 23px !important;padding-left: 23px !important;}”]REQUEST A CONSULTATION
