Yes you can floss bonded teeth.. You should. Dental bonding does not mean you stop cleaning between your teeth. Even if the bonded area feels different at first it still needs care.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the key point. Bonded teeth need the daily cleaning as your other teeth. You should be a little more careful around the edges of the bonding. Move the floss slowly through the space between your teeth. Once it\u2019s through curve it around one tooth. Slide it gently up and down.<\/p>\n
If the contact feels tight do not yank the floss out. Instead move it side to side. It may feel awkward for a seconds but your hands will adjust quickly.<\/p>\n
Sometimes the floss can catch near a bonded area. Never pull hard. A sharp tug can put pressure on the bonding. Irritate your gums even more.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Use a side-to-side motion instead of forcing the floss down.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If the floss catches, stay calm. Ease it sideways rather than pulling straight up.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Tight contacts can be annoying in the first few days but they should not break your floss every time.<\/p>\n
Proper flossing will not damage bonding that was placed correctly. In fact not flossing all is the real risk. Food and plaque can build up between the teeth right where your toothbrush can’t reach.<\/p>\n
Aggressive flossing is a different story. If you are sawing back and forth or snapping the floss into your gums that\u2019s not safe. Bonding is strong. You don\u2019t need to test its limits.<\/p>\n
A water flosser can help if regular floss feels hard around tight spaces. Still don\u2019t throw away floss just because a water flosser feels easier. If your dentist suggests using one follow their advice.<\/p>\n
Floss once a day is a goal. Night time works well because it clears away the day\u2019s buildup before bed.<\/p>\n
Honestly this part of caring for bonded teeth is simple. You don\u2019t need a routine. You just need to get the floss between the teeth without hurting your gums. Consistency matters more, than anything.<\/p>\n
