Description: The proper care is essential for all those with dental appliances in order to remain as healthy as possible after treatment.
We are happy to be able to provide all of our patients with the solutions that they need for any number of serious health complications. We understand just how difficult it can be to maintain a vibrant, complete, and healthy smile, and that is why we have set off to make this process as easy as possible. If you have recently received any number of removable dental appliances or are looking to these appliances to restore your own smile, here is a glimpse at the proper aftercare for dental appliances and how our Los Angeles dentist can help you with tooth decay, tooth loss, and periodontal disease.
The field of preventative dentistry is more advanced than ever, but a very large percentage of individuals continue to struggle with one very prevalent issue: tooth loss. Tooth loss is most often the result of patients that have not received regular dental care in order to remove plaque and tartar from their mouth. Any major damage to the pulp of the teeth or the roots can also result in tooth loss.
For these patients, removable dental appliances remain a very common option. Our Los Angeles dental dentures specialist will work closely with every single patient to make these as comfortable and natural as possible. Once in place, many patients will be able to smile and eat with confidence, but proper aftercare is required in order to stay as healthy as possible.
For the majority of removable dental appliances, non-whitening toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush will be enough to keep the items relatively clean. Our dentist may also suggest the use of a professional brand of denture or bridge cleaner that will remove the last bits of bacteria and debris from the appliances. Those that have recently received one of these appliances should also continue to brush and floss their teeth as well as refrain from putting excess pressure on the teeth.
If you or a loved one has recently lost any number of teeth, contact our office today to discuss your restoration options so that you can once again enjoy your complete and healthy smile.
