Does dental bridge require special care?

Just like how we take good care of our natural teeth with daily brushing and flossing, it is also important to brush and floss your dental bridge every day. Food can be trapped underneath the bridge. A special floss threader should be used to help clean under and around the artificial tooth (or teeth) in the middle of the bridge. In addition to good general oral care, regular professional cleanings are also important to maintain oral health, to keep the adjacent teeth strong to hold the bridges, and to increase lifespan of the dental bridges.
