Of course you can. You only need to:
| Thoroughly remove dental plaque | |
|---|---|
The gum margin of teeth |
Clean your teeth thoroughly every day in the morning and before bed at night especially along the gum margin. |
Clean the adjacent tooth surface |
Toothbrushing alone cannot effectively clean the adjacent surfaces of teeth. Therefore, it is necessary to use the dental floss or interdental brush to clean the teeth daily. |
Clean the area underneath a fixed bridge |
People with fixed bridge should also thoroughly clean their teeth, especially clean the areas underneath the fixed bridge with superfloss. |
Immerse the denture into water overnight |
People with removable denture must clean their denture every night before bed, and then immerse the denture into a glass of water overnight. |
| Have an dental check-up at least once a year |
|---|
The dentist will give you oral health instruction and suggestions on toothbrushing and flossing techniques to improve your oral health. Because toothbrushing cannot remove calculus, you can also have a scaling during the same appointment. After calculus removal, it will be much easier to clean the teeth. Initial stage gum disease can also be discovered and treated. |
