How To Clean Crowns, Bridges, and Veneers

The WaterpikTM water flosser delivers warm pulsating water that thoroughly cleans where brushing and string flossing miss. It removes plaque and debris from hard-to-reach areas like under bridges, around crowns and veneers, and under the gumline.

Dental bridges, crowns, and veneers are significant investments. Learning how to clean your restorative work will help you protect your investment and maintain the health of your natural teeth.

Why Does It Matter?

Good oral hygiene is necessary to prevent several undesirable dental problems:

  • Inflammation of gums, which can lead to periodontitis
  • Buildup of plaque, which can eat into the material under dental crowns or behind veneers
  • Erosion of natural teeth that anchor bridges
  • Loosening or dislodging of teeth, whether they're restored or not

A solid oral care routine of brushing, string flossing, and water flossing will help keep your mouth healthy between dental appointments.

Clean By Brushing

Twice-a-day brushing is the standard recommendation from the American Dental Association (ADA) and dental professionals for good reason. Brushing makes it harder for plaque to collect around your dental restoration work.

Clean By Flossing

Cleaning between teeth and under the gumline is a critical component of a strong oral care routine. String floss and threaders reach areas that toothbrushes miss but they can be hard use correctly, especially when it comes to cleaning restorative dental work. Using a WATERPIK water flosser ensures you are taking the best care of your, crowns, bridges, and veneers, as well as your teeth and gums.
