what is the best way to floss a dental bridge?
i have a temporary dental bridge covering 2 missing teeth and capping 2 teeth on the right side and i will be getting one on the left side next week. what is the best way to floss it? i have been using oral b superfloss with a threader on one end with spongy floss and the rest is regular floss and i thread it through and pull it all the way through. is that the way to do it or should i move the floss under the bridge along the gumline?
Use of an Interdental Brush
If you have fixed bridgework, braces or other dental work which connects adjacent teeth, cleaning under and around it with an interdental brush can prevent tooth decay and gum disease. While their use may seem intuitive, many people are unaware that plaque accumulates under bridge connectors, around orthodontic brackets, etc. This animation describes use of an interdental brush to avoid recurrent caries around fixed bridge retainer margins, and the resulting failure of expensive dental work.
