Gold is a popular material for dental fillings and crowns. Also, gold is often used for the production of false teeth, dentures and onlays. Taking care of your gold teeth is just as important as your natural teeth. If you have a permanent gold tooth, filling, or crown, they are cleaned in the same way as regular teeth. If you have removable gold crowns or onlays, they should be cleaned daily with a mild detergent and warm water. Polish crowns and onlays with a soft cloth to keep them shiny.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Fixed Gold Teeth

1. 1 Brush your fixed gold teeth like normal teeth. Gold teeth require little maintenance. Take a toothpaste and brush your teeth with a toothbrush.
   • The teeth should be brushed twice a day.
2. 2 Use regularly dental floss. Gold teeth should be flossed just like natural teeth. While gold teeth can help reduce wear on adjacent teeth and slow the development of caries in the covered tooth, they also require care. When using dental floss, don't forget about gold teeth.
   • Floss your teeth at least once a day.
3. 3 Whitening agents have no effect on gold teeth. If you want to use whitening strips or toothpaste, then you should be aware that they will not affect your golden teeth. The composition of the whitening agent will not change the color of the gold and will only whiten your natural teeth.
4. 4 Make an appointment with the dentist for cleaning. Gold teeth also need to be cared for, just like natural teeth or other types of crowns and fillings. Visit your dentist regularly to check your teeth.
   • During the examination, the dentist will perform professional teeth cleaning, including gold teeth and crowns. Also, the doctor will make sure that there are no problems like gingivitis or periodontal disease.

Method 2 of 3: Removable Gold Crowns

1. 1 Use a special cleaner for removable crowns. Removable gold crowns require daily cleaning. Use a non-abrasive cleaning agent. After cleaning, they should be rinsed in warm water and dried.
   • Your dentist will advise you on the right cleaning agent. These funds can be purchased online.
2. 2 Polish the crowns with a special napkin. Dry the tooth after cleaning. Then take a soft cloth to polish the crown before placing it in place. Thanks to this, it will retain its shine and proper appearance.
   • Use a soft cotton microfiber cloth.
3. 3 Do not smoke. If you have gold teeth, then try to quit smoking. Cigarette smoke will dull gold teeth and make them shine. If you do not want to quit smoking, then choose a higher quality gold.
   • For example, select 750 or 999 gold to keep smoking. Lower quality gold will tarnish too quickly.
4. 4 Do not use gold jewelry cleaners. It may seem like a good idea to brush gold teeth or crowns with jewelry, but that's not the case. Such products are poisonous if swallowed. Never brush gold teeth with such products.
   • Also, never use gold polish on your teeth.

Method 3 of 3: Gold Onlays

1. 1 The pads need to be cleaned every day. If you wear removable pads, they should be removed and cleaned daily. Brush with toothpaste to remove plaque and freshen the patch. Rinse with warm water. When the patch is not in use, place it in an antiseptic mouthwash for disinfection.
   • Daily cleaning gets rid of bacteria that accumulate on top of the pad along with food debris.
2. 2 Wash the patch in soapy water. Another cleaning method is a solution with a mild dishwashing liquid. Remove the cover and place in a container of warm water to which you want to add the dishwashing liquid. Let it sit for one to two hours and then air dry.
   • You can also gently dry the patch with a tissue.
3. 3 Do not wear the patch all the time. Onlays are removable gold plates that are attached over the teeth. The pad cannot be worn permanently. Food particles and bacteria get under the patch, so if left on for a long time, it can lead to gum injury and tooth decay.
4. 4 Remove the cover while eating. Remove the patch before eating to keep your teeth clean and healthy. If you do not remove the patch before eating, food pieces can get stuck between the patch and your teeth, causing bacteria to develop and tooth decay.
   • Food particles that get under the pad can damage the delicate gum tissue.
