How to clean artificial teeth
Artificial teeth should be cleaned according to whether they are removable dentures, fixed crowns and bridges, implants, or an appliance.
What is the direct answer?
Artificial teeth should be cleaned according to whether they are removable dentures, fixed crowns and bridges, implants, or an appliance.
What does this question mean?
Removable dentures are often acrylic resin with metal or resin parts; fixed restorations attach to teeth or implants. Plaque and food collect around all of them.
What can you do next?
Remove a denture for cleaning, brush it with a soft denture brush and mild soap or denture cleanser, and clean gums, tongue, remaining teeth, and implant areas separately.
When should you seek dental care?
Arrange care for cracks, rubbing, looseness, sores, persistent odour, poor fit, or redness under a denture. Bleeding around an implant needs examination.
What should you ask the dentist?
Ask which cleanser and brush suit the material and how to clean under a bridge or around an implant.
