Keeping your dental implants safe is probably something you would really like to do! The same is true for your restorations that have completed your tooth replacements. Then, there are your natural teeth that still remain in your smile. While you may think that natural tissues and artificial tissues require different care (and you may even assume your implants and restorations are much more resilient than your natural teeth), our Conroe, TX team has some news for you: Approaching your smile with the comprehensive approach to protection we always suggest is your best bet. Let’s work our way through a quick review!
Dental Hygiene Is Always Required
We remind you that no matter what, whether your smile is healthy or not very healthy, includes all natural teeth or some replacement teeth, etc., dental hygiene is always required. It will always be an essential, twice-daily step that allows you to remove plaque and bacteria, so you are not dealing with an accumulation that encourages hygiene-related disease! It will always help you prevent discoloration, as well, whether you’re cleaning natural teeth or you’re cleaning restorations supported by dental implants.
Checkups And Cleanings Are Essential, Too!
Did you know that you always, always need a dental checkup and cleaning with us? Again, that’s true for a smile that’s completely natural, that has some dental implants and restorations, or that is completely composed of tooth replacements! Always schedule a preventive visit with us every six months.
Utensils And Tools Should Do The Work, Not Your Smile!
You may think of your teeth as exceptionally strong. However, you may think of your dental implant and restoration as even stronger and less likely to become damaged because they are composed of artificial material. We get it! However, we also have to share with you that this is not an accurate way to think about your smile. All of the aforementioned parts of your grin are susceptible to damage. So, with that said, you should always use any utensils and tools you have at your disposal to help you with a task, so you don’t ask your teeth, implants, or restorations to do the work for you (and, to potentially becomes significantly damaged!).
