CLEANING OF MOVING PROSTHESES
Daily cleaning and maintenance of your prosthesis is important to prevent plaque, food residue and tartar formation. Regular care is essential to maintain the health of the tissue under the prosthesis and to prevent infections.
Wash your prosthesis in water after meals to remove food residues.
You should brush your prosthesis using water, various toothpastes or prosthetic care products before going to bed. Since abrasive powders will damage the prosthesis surface in brushing process, abrasive powders should not be used. Special prosthetic brushes or normal toothbrushes can be used in the brushing process.
Chemical weekly prosthesis care should also be done using special effervescent prosthesis cleaning tablets along with daily brushing.
Despite all this care, stains and tartar that penetrate into the prosthesis over a long time can only be cleaned by your dentist with ultrasonic tools and the polish of your prosthesis is renewed.
Do not forget to visit your doctor regularly every six months so that you can use your prosthesis for a long time as it was on the first day.
