Implant Care

Implants require regular care and cleaning, similar to natural teeth. Here are some important steps for implant care:

Tooth brushing: Brush your implant the same way you brush your natural teeth. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gently brush around each tooth, the gum line and over your implant. For toothpaste, use a product recommended by your dentist.

Flossing: Floss daily to clean the spaces between the teeth. Thread the floss into the gum line around the implant and gently move it to remove plaque and debris.

Antimicrobial mouthwash: To maintain gum health and promote oral hygiene, you can use an antimicrobial mouthwash recommended by your dentist. This helps to reduce the formation of bacteria in the mouth.

Periodic dental check-ups: Have your implants checked regularly by a dentist. Your dentist will examine your implants, remove plaque and tartar build-up and assess your gum health. These check-ups allow early detection of potential problems.

Healthy eating: Support your oral health with a balanced diet. A good diet contributes to gum and jawbone health.

Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can have a negative impact on the successful integration of your implants. Therefore, try to avoid these habits as much as possible.
