Thanks to its innovative cleaning method, the emmi-dent ultrasonic toothbrush effectively prevents dental diseases such as tooth decay, periodontitis, and gingivitis. But what if dental problems already exist that have required treatment from a dentist? How does the ultrasonic toothbrush perform with fillings and implants? Even with a dental filling and fixed prosthetics, brushing with a toothbrush that works with 100 percent ultrasound leads to excellent results. You can read why this is and what advantages an ultrasonic toothbrush offers for implants and fillings here.
Fillings and Implants for Dental Health
Whether a carious or a broken tooth: dental fillings replace the natural protection of the teeth when the tooth is no longer able to do so. Dentists repair cavities caused by tooth decay with a filling. However, the dental filling also replaces a piece of the tooth that has broken off. More extensive damage to the tooth substance requires more comprehensive dental treatment – here, a crown or other fixed implants may be necessary.
In Germany alone, dentists fill more than 50 million carious teeth per year – from amalgam to plastic. But choosing the right material and filling the tooth is not enough. After treatment, fillings, like implants, require special attention during dental care. Here, the daily use of the toothbrush is particularly important.
Why Brushing and the Right Toothbrush are So Important for Fillings and Implants
Teeth with fillings prove to be particularly vulnerable, because in these zones, the tooth substance has already suffered damage – often due to tooth decay that has eaten a hole in the tooth. There is a risk that harmful bacteria will settle again in these areas of the mouth. The transition between the filling and the tooth substance is particularly vulnerable, as ideal living conditions for bacteria prevail there. If they are not removed regularly, plaque forms, which can lead to tartar, periodontitis, and new tooth decay.
If you keep the area around the treated tooth clean and germ-free, you reduce the risk of further fillings. With dental implants, another challenge is that sensitive materials must be protected. The choice of the right toothbrush becomes more important than ever here!
All About the Use of the Ultrasonic Toothbrush with Fillings
Of course, the ultrasonic toothbrush can be used for dental care with fillings. Thanks to its innovative cleaning method, the emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush achieves optimal results even with fillings. Hard-to-reach areas in the mouth that conventional manual, sonic, or other electric toothbrushes cannot reach are effectively freed from food residues, plaque, and harmful bacteria.
How the Ultrasonic Toothbrush Works with Fillings
Ultrasonic toothbrushes clean teeth almost contact-free and without movement. They completely do without scrubbing, as you are used to from manual or electric brushes – other sonic toothbrushes ultimately still rely on mechanical friction. Ultrasonic devices work differently: Their up to 96 million oscillations per minute clean teeth, fillings, and implants gently and carefully, without damaging sensitive materials.
The ultrasound generated by the piezo chip of the emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush produces numerous small bubbles that implode in the interdental spaces and thoroughly remove impurities.
How to Brush Your Teeth with the Ultrasonic Toothbrush with Fillings
The emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush convinces not only in terms of cleaning, but also in terms of handling. Simply hold the toothbrush to your teeth – the ultrasound does the rest.
Are There Any Risks When Brushing with the Ultrasonic Toothbrush with Fillings?
When you brush your teeth with the emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush, there are no dangers to fillings. Despite the 96 million oscillations, the device does not cause fillings to slip out – a well-fitting filling remains rock solid. Should fillings come loose during brushing, this would have happened over time anyway and would have little to do with the toothbrush.
The ultrasound with which the emmi®-dent works is completely harmless. Its frequency spectrum is outside human perception, so you neither hear nor feel it.
The Use of the Ultrasonic Toothbrush with Implants
What applies to fillings also applies to dental care with the ultrasonic toothbrush with implants. With crowns, bridges, and dentures, there is the additional challenge of not damaging the sensitive material. Thanks to its gentle action, the ultrasonic toothbrush also cleans these areas – it easily reaches under the prosthetics and at the transitions between crowns and gums. This ensures thorough removal of food residues and bacteria without damaging the implant material.
Ultrasonic Toothbrush with Implants and Fillings – What You Need to Pay Attention To
Whether it's a filling or a prosthetic – correct handling is essential for the optimal cleaning effect of the emmi®-dent. However, proper brushing with ultrasound must first be learned. Many users find the first applications unusual, as they have only known mechanical brushing so far. But the easy handling and excellent results with implants and fillings speak for themselves. The emmi®-dent thus effectively prevents dental diseases such as tooth decay, periodontitis, and gingivitis, as well as bad breath, and also supports the follow-up treatment of existing dental problems.
