While this type of implant is the most durable, long-lasting option available\u2014proper care and hygiene are essential when it comes to ensuring the longevity of your bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHY IT\u2019S IMPORTANT TO CLEAN YOUR DENTAL BRIDGE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike dentures, dental bridges are a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. With that being said, you don\u2019t have the option to remove them to clean them properly each day as you would a denture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although dental bridges are positioned close to the gums, there is still a gap between the artificial tooth and the ridge of the missing tooth. If this area is not thoroughly cleaned, bacteria and plaque can build up\u2014leading to gum disease and deterioration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>HOW TO CLEAN DENTAL BRIDGES \u2013 ALL-ON-4 &amp; ALL-ON-6<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>USING A WATER FLOSSER<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because dental bridges are joined across the top, you cannot use traditional floss to clean between each tooth as you would your natural teeth. Utilizing floss alternatives can help you to keep your gums free of debris. One of the best ways to do this is by using a water flosser. Here are some benefits of using this clinically-proven floss alternative:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It is gentle on your gums: Using a water flosser effectively reduces plaque buildup, bleeding of the gums, and the risk of developing gingivitis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It reduces the risk of periodontal infection: The pulsating effect from the water flosser rids the space between the gums and the implant of subgingival bacteria.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps those living with diabetes: People with diabetes are at a higher risk for severe gum disease and gingival inflammation. Using a water flosser reduces bleeding by 44% reduces the risk of developing gingivitis by 41%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><strong>BRUSHING<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you would with your natural teeth,&nbsp; you can clean your dental bridges by brushing them, you should brush them 2 to 3 times each day. This helps to remove the plaque from the implants and your gum line. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush, brush your implants in a circular motion for 2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>DENTAL IMPLANTS IN DALLAS, TEXAS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiancedentistry.com\/about-us.html\">Radiance Dentistry, Dental Implant Center<\/a>, we are the only provider of All-on-4\u24c7 and All-on-6\u24c7 Implants using XircOn\u2122 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
