SIMPLE TIPS TO MAINTAIN YOUR TEETH AFTER MAJOR DENTAL TREATMENT

If you’ve some sort of major dental treatment such as dental implants, crowns, veneers, or bridges done recently, protecting your oral health is crucial. Major dental treatments not only improve your smile and functioning of teeth but also supports your overall health. Here at Heritage Dental Group, we provide our patients with detailed information of the dental treatment and expected outcomes with aftercare tips. Dr Singh recommends these essential tips to maintain major dental work and ensure long-term success.

1. Prioritise Oral Hygiene
Brushing twice daily and flossing once a day is non-negotiable, especially after major dental treatment. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Consider interdental brushes or a water flosser to clean around dental implants, bridges, and crowns. Not sure how to floss properly, ask Dr Singh to show you next tome you visit Heritage Dental Group.

2. Avoid Hard and Sticky Foods
Biting on hard items like ice, nuts, or lollies can damage teeth, crowns, veneers, or bridges. Stick to a balanced diet.

3. Wear a Nightguard or Occlusal Splint if Needed
If you grind or clench your teeth (bruxism), ask your dentist about a custom nightguard. Grinding can wear down or crack teeth and dental work like crowns and implants, reducing their lifespan.

4. Professional Cleanings and Check-ups
Routine visit to the dentist, ideally every 6 month is the key. Professional dental cleanings with airflow remove plaque you can’t reach and allow your dentist to monitor the condition of your teeth, gums and dental work done in the past.

5. Don’t Ignore Changes
If you feel any discomfort, sensitivity, or pain, see your dentist immediately. Early attention can prevent loss of teeth, costly repairs or replacements.
