We’ll hand you a guide with all the simple steps you need to follow after your new teeth are in place. Plus, remember to pop in for your maintenance check-ups twice a year.
Here’s a quick rundown on daily care: brush your bridges just like you would natural teeth, twice a day, with the soft toothbrush we give you. Swap out regular toothpaste for a gentle, non-abrasive tooth gel. Hold off on using an electric toothbrush until our Fixed Teeth Australia team says you’re ready, usually around the 5-month mark. And be gentle around your gums to let them heal properly. After 5 months, we’re all for using an electric toothbrush like the Philips Sonicare to keep things clean.
To get those hard-to-reach spots under your prosthesis, a Waterpik Oral irrigator is fantastic for a thorough clean, along with some good old vigorous rinsing. And for cleaning under the lower teeth, Piksters are great – they’re these tiny bottle brush-like tools you can find at all chemists and grocery stores.
With these easy steps, you can easily keep your new smile in top shape!
