Feb. 12, 2007, Los Angeles and Beverly Hills - Your cosmetic dentist has helped create your perfect smile. Now it's your turn to ensure it receives the perfect upkeep.
You'll need to keep several things in mind to ensure long-lasting results.
RETURN VISITS
It's essential you visit your dentist and dental hygienist regularly to lengthen the life of your restoration. Regular periodontal screenings help ensure healthy gums. Regular cleanings promote the health of both your teeth and gum tissue. It's essential such work be done by a trained professional specializing in cosmetic dentistry. Restoration work may require the use of special polishes, instruments and products to avoid any damage to your new smile.
HOME CARE
• Brush two to three times daily to keep your gum tissue healthy. Brushing also removes any surface plaque and stains.
• Flossing not only removes food and bacteria between your teeth but it massages your gums.
• Select a non-abrasive toothpaste. If you're concerned about staining, brush after drinking coffee, teas or colas.
• Listen to your mother: NEVER use your teeth as a knife, scissor or machete. Biting or chewing on pens, ice, etc., or even just holding objects between your teeth can damage your cosmetic restoration.
• Toothpicks should only be used gently and with caution to avoid damaging your gum tissue.
• Quit smoking.
