Although there are no special maintenance requirements for your inlays or onlays, establishing and sticking to a good dental hygiene routine can help prolong the health of your smile for years to come. Ensure that you brush and floss using the appropriate techniques, which help eliminate harmful plaque from the teeth’s surface as well as leftover food debris from between teeth. These measures can also prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Additionally, make sure to use dental products containing fluoride, such as toothpaste and mouthwash, which can strengthen the enamel of the teeth and further protect them from damage. Lastly, make sure you attend regularly scheduled dental exams; for many patients, every six months is adequate, but your LJFSD dentist will recommend the appropriate dental cleaning interval for you.
