Our Conroe, TX team needs you to answer a very important question that we have for you, if you haven’t been practicing the entirety of your dental hygiene every day, now that you have dental implants. The question: Why aren’t you flossing? While it’s absolutely possible you’re just not in the mood, we have a feeling it’s something else. After all, you know that you need to keep your implants safe, so you probably have the best of intentions when it comes to your preventive care (and more). Let’s work our way through some likely reasons (and, if you need further help with your smile, contact us soon!).

You Feel Like You Don’t Know How

Of course, if you receive dental implants and restorations from our team, we will provide you with instruction in terms of how to best care for your smile. However, that doesn’t always mean that you head home and you instantly become a seasoned pro at flossing your smile. Or brushing your smile! We remind you that when you need any type of assistance with caring for your smile, we always welcome a phone call and a visit. We can provide you with verbal tips and will also walk you through a demonstration, so you know just what to do.

The Floss You Used To Use Isn’t Working As Well Now

Now that you have dental implants, you may discover that the floss you previously enjoyed using on your natural teeth just isn’t something you like as much for your entire smile. This is okay! However, it’s also a good idea to speak with us about what’s not working, so we can provide you with alternative suggestions. You may also simply test out new floss varieties, so you may find one that you like, which will then allow you to more easily care for your dental implants and remaining natural teeth and gums!

Something Doesn’t Feel Right

Remember that if something doesn’t feel right, which may mean that you’re flossing and it hurts, this isn’t a time to just ditch the dental floss and hope for the best. Instead, it’s time to come in to see us right away! If you’re being too rough, we’ll help you tweak your approach. If something is wrong with your teeth, gums, or dental implants, we’ll fix it. It’s always better to address concerns now, rather than later, so come see us!
