Your prosthodontist will create an at-home maintenance plan that is tailored to you. These are some key steps to ensure the health of your restored teeth:
1. Brush your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day.
2. Floss your teeth once a day.
3. Use a mouthwash recommended by your prosthodontist.
4. Wear a night guard (if recommended by your prosthodontist) to protect your restorations.
5. Don't smoke or chew tobacco.
6. Avoid eating a high-sugar diet.
With these recommendations, your restored teeth are more likely to last longer, feel good, and look great.
Professional Dental anesthesia is often used for tooth restoration. As a result, you are awake and aware during procedures, but pain is minimized. Dental anesthesia can be mild or more extensive depending on the needs of the patient and what tooth restoration procedure is administered.
