Yes, you can and should clean under a dental bridge using special tools like a water flosser, floss threaders, or interdental brushes. These tools help remove food particles and plaque beneath the bridge to prevent gum disease and decay.

For optimal oral health, patients in Henderson, NV should consult with Dr. Marielaina Perrone, DDS for personalized bridge care tips.
