It Should Include Brushing And Flossing
When you’re taking care of your dental implants, your care at home will generally include the same details that come into play when you’re taking care of a smile that is free of implants. Simply ensure that you’re doing the following on a regular basis without skipping a beat:
- Brush your smile in the morning with a soft-bristle toothbrush for two minutes
- Brush again in the evening for two minutes
- Floss thoroughly (daily)
Care Also Requires The Usual Visits
Beyond the care you provide for your dental implants (and the rest of your smile, of course), is the professional care you need for comprehensive prevention. Just like always, you will still need to come on in for your dental checkups and your dental cleanings. Keep visits on the books every six months (that’s a total of just two times a year), so your oral health stays in immaculate condition and your implants remain successful. If you have additional questions, your visits are a wonderful time to bring them up (and to receive answers).
