A dental splint is an item of daily use that is in contact with the teeth and gums. Inside, traces of saliva, food and other substances can accumulate, which if not eliminated can favor the multiplication of bacteria and microorganisms that inhabit the interior of the oral cavity.
It is very important to maintain proper care of the dental splint, not only to avoid the appearance of helix and the development of oral infection, but also to extend the life of this appliance. To do this, it is enough to devote a few minutes a day to cleaning and maintaining the dental splint, in a very simple and fast way.
Dental splint cleaning step by step
There are special brushes for cleaning dentures, removable orthodontic appliances and dental splints. These brushes with a double head of various sizes and an ergonomic handle allow easier and more comfortable cleaning, reaching all nooks and crannies.
For splint cleaning, we recommend the KIN prosthesis brush, which is specially designed for cleaning dental prostheses, orthodontic appliances and dental splints. Use this brush every morning to properly clean your dental splint, wet it with cold water and apply a little neutral toothpaste or soap without perfume or alcohol.
Scrub with the brush without applying excessive pressure on both the inside and outside of the cast. It affects all the small holes where traces of saliva usually accumulate.
Finish rinsing thoroughly under a stream of cold water from the tap, and you’ll have your splint ready to continue using it.
Don’t forget to do a splint cleanse every week. It uses KIN Orthonet, a descaling solution that allows quick, convenient and deep cleaning of removable appliances, keeping them bright and odorless.
Just pour, once a week, a quarter of the contents of the solution into an undiluted bowl or glass directly, completely submerging the dental splint and leave to act for about 15-30 minutes. Rinse the dental splint with plenty of water before placing it in your mouth. It is recommended to rinse them with the help of a soft toothbrush to facilitate cleaning.
Another alternative is daily deep cleansing with KIN GOLD effervescent tablets.
Just leave the splint in a cup with warm water, throw in the pill, and let it work for at least 10 minutes or overnight. Rinse well at the end so you can use it regularly.
