Proper home care is essential to ensure the longevity of dental implants. Treat your implants like natural teeth:
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle 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.
- Avoid smoking or vaping and keep your body healthy.
Regular dental check-ups are equally important. Professional cleanings allow your dentist to monitor the implant, surrounding gum tissue, and jawbone.
