Look for powered or manual toothbrushes with the American Dental Association Seal of Approval. You can also ask your dentist for a recommendation to ensure your toothbrush has passed quality control tests for safety and cleaning effectiveness.
Manual toothbrushes or replacement heads for your electric toothbrush are available with hard, medium, or soft nylon bristles. Soft bristles are the safest and most comfortable option for most people. You could damage the enamel protecting your teeth, root surface, and gums depending on the strength of the bristles and how vigorously you brush your teeth. Rounded bristle tips offer even more protection.
— Single dental implant:
A single dental implant is used when only a single tooth has either been lost or damaged and needs replacing. The titanium implant is screwed into the jawbone, before a porcelain or ceramic crown is affixed to the top of it.
— Implant supported bridge:
With an implant supported bridge, a number of missing teeth that would’ve been side by side can be replaced. For instance, if three teeth side by side have been lost, then two implants placed in the jawbone can replace all three teeth, with each titanium implant being placed in the jawbone where the first and third tooth would be, with a bridge consisting of three crowns placed securely on top.
— Full mouth dental implants:
There are a few different ways that a full mouth dental restoration can be achieved, involving a varied number of dental implants. For a start, a full mouth dental implant restoration could be accomplished with only two implants, top and bottom, placed in the spot that was previously occupied by the canines. Small pop studs are placed on top of the gums, and a full set of removable dentures is then clicked into position. These can easily be removed for daily cleaning or any necessary repairs.
