A dental bridge can last over 10 years if you look after it – here are a few tips to help.
Top Tips
– Avoid very hard sweets and nutshells as these can damage your bridge.
– Clean and floss your teeth and bridge thoroughly.
– See your dentist for regular dental check-ups and a professional clean.
Looking after your bridge and the surrounding teeth will help to keep the bridge healthy and prevent gum disease.
“Tooth decay underneath the crowns that hold up the dental bridge is one of the most common problems associated with dental bridges.”
