Scaling & Polishing Frequently Asked Questions
Maintaining dental crowns or bridges is a part of dental hygiene.
If you have one of the two, you should use soft-bristle brushes and brush twice a day. Since both are treatments they’re not as strong as your natural teeth so try to avoid hard foods like nuts. Finally, you could invest in a water flosser.
Bristles from brushes may not reach the corners of the teeth due to a bridge. Water flossers are a great way to get to the corners.
Another good practice is to quit smoking if you’re a smoker.
Dental crowns depending on the material used and proper maintenance can easily last more than a decade.
Porcelain crowns are one of the most affordable and standard options and last 20 years or more.
Dental bridges with proper care can last over 15 years. Some patients have reported maintaining their bridge for over 30 years as well.
