Some patients believe that they don’t need dental care if they have a full prosthetic like a denture. However, gum care in Avondale is still crucial to your overall health and wellness.
You risk gum disease without proper gum care, including regular dental visits. Gum disease makes it difficult and sometimes impossible to continue to wear your denture or bridge. Furthermore, gum disease is linked to severe health issues involving the heart and lungs. There may also be an association between gum disease and specific types of dementia.
So, no matter where you are in life, gum care is essential to your well-being.
Between dental visits, it’s vital to keep your mouth clean. This cleanliness includes caring for prosthetics like dentures—soaking them in a dental bath and clearing any buildup.
If you do not wear a prosthetic, we recommend brushing at least twice daily and flossing once. Of course, cleaning your teeth and gums after every meal is even better. Your dentist can provide customised tips based on your oral health profile.
