Proper home care is essential to ensure the longevity of dental implants. Treat your implants like natural teeth:
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
- Floss carefully around the implant.
- Consider using an interdental brush to clean hard-to-reach areas.
- Rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash can also help prevent plaque buildup and gum inflammation.
- Avoid chewing hard foods or using your teeth as tools to protect your implants from unnecessary stress.
- Avoiding smoking or vaping and keeping your body healthy.
Regular dental check-ups are equally important. Professional cleanings allow your dentist to monitor the implant, surrounding gum tissue and jawbone.
