Here are some aftercare instructions to follow after a fibre bridge procedure (depending on the type of procedure performed):
After the procedure, avoid chewing hard foods or using the new fiber bridge area to chew for the first few days. This is to avoid putting pressure on the fiber bridge.
It is best to eat soft foods first (for example, soup, porridge, or foods that do not require many bites).
Brush Your Teeth Gently: Make sure to clean your teeth and fibre bridge gently using a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
Floss Carefully: If permitted, make sure to floss around the fibre bridge gently to avoid damaging the fibre bridge. Some types of fibre bridges require more careful cleaning, so follow your doctor's instructions.
Brush Your Teeth After Every Meal: This helps prevent plaque buildup or damage to the fibre bridge structure.
3. Avoid Strongly Colored Foods or Drinks
Avoid consuming strongly colored foods or drinks such as coffee, tea, or dark-colored juices for the first few weeks as the fiber bridge may easily absorb the color, causing discoloration or staining.
If you feel any pain or discomfort around the fibre bridge area, be sure to consult your dentist. You may need adjustments to ensure the fibre bridge fits your mouth.
If there are any problems: Such as feeling tight or uncomfortable, tell your dentist for adjustments.
Smoking can damage the structure and healing after the procedure. Nicotine and chemicals in cigarettes can cause problems with the placement of the fiber bridge and increase the risk of infection.
Make sure you attend your follow-up check-ups as scheduled by your dentist. These checks are important to ensure that your fibre bridge is functioning properly and that there are no problems or damage.
If you experience signs of infection such as severe pain, swelling, or pus around the fibre bridge, contact your dentist immediately for further treatment.
