You've invested in your smile, so why not make it last? Your dental work deserves exceptional care to keep it looking and feeling fabulous, regardless of whether it's crowns, dentures, or dental implants. At Blu Dental & Wellness, maintaining your dental work doesn't have to feel like a chore. Here are some simple and effective ways to protect your pearly whites and maximize your dental investment.

1. Be a Brushing Rockstar

Your dental work loves a clean, fresh start every day. Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to prevent plaque and bacteria from invading your smile. Flossing like a pro to reach those sneaky spots between your teeth and around your dental work supports your gum health. Clean teeth equals happy teeth!

2. Ditch the Trouble-Makers

Hard candies, sticky caramels, and chomping on ice might seem harmless, but they're a big no-no for your dental work. Swap the risky snacks for smile-friendly ones like crunchy apples, crisp veggies, or a cube of cheese. Your teeth (and your dentist in Marysville) will thank you!

3. Sleep Like a Champ with a Nightguard

Are you a nighttime teeth grinder? It's time to suit up with a custom nightguard! Grinding can wreak havoc on your dental work, so this little hero protects your crowns, veneers, and fillings while you catch those Z's.

4. Don't Skip Your Checkups

Your dentist is your smile's BFF! Regular checkups keep your dental work in tip-top shape and catch any potential issues before they become big problems. Think of these visits as a spa day for your smile—polishing, cleaning, and plenty of TLC.

5. Play Hard, Protect Harder

If you're into sports or activities that put your teeth at risk, we recommend making a mouthguard your MVP. It's a small step that can save your dental work from accidental damage and keep your smile game strong.
