Tooth Restoration? Here are Some Flossing Tips and Tricks!

Crowns or Bridges:
Use a floss threader ororal dental floss. Gently guide the floss under the bridge oraround the crown by moving it up and downin a sawing motion. Once the floss is belowthe bridge or around the crown, follow the regular flossing technique by moving it in a C-shape around eachside of the tooth.

Implants:
Use a floss threader, interdental brush, orspecial implant floss designed for cleaning around implants. Gently guide the floss through then back andforth in the spacebetween the implantand the adjacent toothor restoration.

Inlays/Onlays:
Use regular dental floss or floss picks to floss around the filling. Be cautious while flossing near the edges of the filling to avoid dislodging it. Gently move the floss up and down along each side of the tooth, making sure to clean below the contact point where the teeth touch.

Porcelain Veneers:
Use regular dental floss or floss picks to floss between the teeth and around the veneers. Be gentle to avoid pulling at the edges of the veneers or loosening the bonded material. Slide the floss between the teeth and move it in a C-shape around each side of the tooth to remove plaque and debris.

Don’t Forget!
Remember to floss daily, regardless of the type of restoration you have, to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent gum disease.
