Should I use dental floss or interdental brushes for cleaning ceramic teeth?
Both dental floss and interdental brushes are effective for removing plaque and food particles between ceramic teeth. Choose the option that you are most comfortable with and make sure to clean between each tooth at least once a day.
Are there any additional cleaning methods for ceramic teeth?
Yes, in addition to regular brushing and flossing, you can use an antimicrobial mouthwash to further enhance the cleanliness of your ceramic teeth. Mouthwash helps kill bacteria and freshens your breath. Rinsing with mouthwash after brushing and flossing is a great practice.
How often should I visit the dentist for professional cleaning?
