A dental bridge requires special attention because food particles and plaque can collect beneath the replacement tooth. Most patients use floss threaders, bridge floss, or water flossers to clean under the bridge and around the supporting teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental cleanings can help protect the bridge and the teeth supporting it.
