Porcelain Restorations Aftercare in Carthage, MO
Porcelain restorations have been placed on your teeth using high-quality materials and advanced techniques. To ensure their longevity and maintain their appearance, it is important to follow proper care guidelines.
CHEWING, BITING, AND TRAUMA: As with natural teeth, avoid biting or chewing very hard foods and objects such as ice, hard candy, raw vegetables, fingernails, pens, or packaging. Porcelain can fracture under sudden impact or excessive force, so use caution during activities like sports or any situation that may risk injury to your teeth.
Preventive Recommendations
To help prevent future cavities and gum disease, and to maximize the longevity of your restorations, please follow the selected preventive recommendations below:
Brush with Prevident 5000 after meals and before bedtime.
Floss daily before bedtime.
Rinse for 30 seconds after breakfast and before bed with a fluoride mouthwash such as Colgate Fluorigard, ACT Mouthwash, or Listermint with Fluoride.
Use a prescription fluoride mouth rinse for one minute before bedtime.
A Sonicare-style electric toothbrush would be highly beneficial.
Checkups
Regular professional cleanings and preventive checkups are essential for maintaining the health of your porcelain restorations.
