While dental bridges are very durable, they require special care to ensure they stay in good condition. Brush twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoridated toothpaste. Keeping your teeth clean reduces the risk of tooth decay which can lead to the loss of anchor teeth. It is helpful to floss daily with a floss threader or a water flosser to remove any food debris stuck under the bridge. It is also important to visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings.
