The best oral care regimen for all-on-four consists of: regular tooth brushing + water pik to flush out from around and under the bridge + proxabrush use to clean around the crowns. Finally a rinse like "Healthy Gums" or "Listerine" will complete the job. Using this 4 step apporach, along with regular professional cleanings, should keep you in good shape.
The dentist who placed it should help you find the best cleaning tools. A water flosser is often a good addition to brushing and floss or mini in-between cleaners.
You need to go to a dentist or dental professional qualified to remove the all on four appliance
You will need to have the prosthetic appliance removed yearly by a dental professional dentist or dental hygienist The appliance will need to be inspected and clean. The implant attachments will need to cleaned around the soft tissue and implant interface. The soft tissue will need to examined and evaluated for health or issues. The dental appliance will be screwed back into place once health and stability is confirmed.
An every day routine should include using a Waterpik, if possible small ‘Christmas tree’ Proxibrushes, and (or) flossing; every year removal and cleaning of the hybrid denture and replacement of the retaining screws as per your Dr.’s recommendation.
