Like anything else that is brand new, you want to do your best to keep your dental implants in beautiful condition. Of course, this means caring for your implants, your restorations, and your smile in general. So … how to do that, you might wonder to yourself? First of all, take a moment to relax. Remember that maintaining these prosthetics is extremely easy to accomplish, so you’re in for convenient daily care. As for the details, take some essentials to heart!
#1: You Need To Brush Gently (As Always)
Guess what? This part of your dental hygiene is staying just as it always has been. Brush gently and thoroughly with your soft-bristle toothbrush and it will be a job well done.
#2: You Need To Floss (Still)
Yep, flossing is still just as important as it always has been. This means that you should include a daily flossing session as part of your preventive care at home to ensure dental implants (and the tissues they sit within) remain safe.
#3: You Might Need A Little Flossing Help At First
It might be a little different to floss around a dental implant when compared with your natural teeth. Not to worry. We will offer demonstrations, suggestions for care, and tips for helpful products (if necessary), so you can maintain healthy teeth and gums.
#4: Just Remember To Avoid Excessive Pressure
You may return to your diet as usual but limit one thing: Don’t think that your dental implants can withstand anything and everything because they’re artificial. Applying too much pressure (like from consistently eating very hard foods or from dealing with bruxism) can be dangerous.
#5: Call Us If Something Changes
Let us know if anything changes and we will be happy to help!
