Keeping your teeth plaque-free is super important.\u00a0 This is true whether your teeth have had restoration work or not.\u00a0 Here are a few simple tips to help keep your dental work for years to come!\u00a0 <\/span>#DownByTheBay<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Clean your crowns or bridgework daily.\u00a0 Your dentist should have shown you how to do this properly.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0Use floss, picks, or interdental brushes to help clean around and under crowns and<\/span>\u00a0bridgework<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Brush your teeth AND your gums twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.\u00a0 Use a soft toothbrush.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0If you have quite a few restorations or tooth-supported dentures, a prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste may be needed to help protect your remaining tooth surfaces.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Dental Office in Mobile AL<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

Having decay around the edges (margins) of dental fillings is quite common in older adults.\u00a0 Fillings over the years may weaken, fracturing around the edges.\u00a0 The margin area will be most susceptible to developing decay, this is where the crown or restoration filling meets the tooth.\u00a0 Food and other debris will collect right around the margin area, and this leads to bacteria buildup, which leads to decay.\u00a0 Crowns will protect a weakened tooth, but flossing and brushing daily is still a must.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Restoration<\/span>\u00a0work can develop decay just like any other tooth.\u00a0<\/span>Dental Office in Mobile AL<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

#Sweetwaterdentis<\/span><\/a>t A great toothpaste for restoration dental work is Colgate <\/span>PreviDent<\/span> 5000.\u00a0 It has a higher level of fluoride, four times higher than the amount found in regular toothpaste.\u00a0 If you are at high risk for decay, a prescription level fluoride toothpaste may be needed to help strengthen your teeth and protect them against decay.\u00a0<\/span>Dental Office in Mobile AL<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
