A healthy, beautiful smile
helps you look great and can boost your self-confidence.
Dental implants help
thousands of people with missing teeth redesign their smiles. If you have had
dental implants from a dentist to
help make your smile the best it can be, you need to take care of them in order
to enjoy the full benefits they offer.
Proper Care for Long Life
Dental implants, which are
made of titanium, are resistant to decay. They are sturdy, but just as with
your natural teeth, they need care. You and your dentist should work together as a team to ensure the longest
possible life for your dental implants. In fact, implants that are well-placed
and properly cared for can last a lifetime.
Cleaning and Tending Implants
Cleaning titanium dental
implants is just like caring for your natural teeth.
·
Brush
daily, preferably after every meal.
·
Floss
daily.
·
Maintain
regular dental cleanings and check-ups.
However, since implants are
not your natural teeth, your dentist
may recommend additional cleaning aids. In addition, take care not to brush
your gums too hard, especially around the implants. This is good advice for
anyone, whether or not they have implants. Gums do not need over-zealous
brushing.
Products for Cleaning Implants
In addition to a toothbrush
and dental floss, a few additional tools can help you maintain good oral
health.
·
Interdental
brushes are an efficient way to clean the sides of your implants.
·
Small
tufted brushes can help you clean the area where the implant meets your gums.
·
Bridge
and implant floss is designed to help you easily clean dental work.
Your dentist may recommend additional items to help ensure your implants
last a lifetime.
