At Oral Surgery Consultants of Pennsylvania, we want to remind you that caring for teeth restored with dental implants is just like caring for your natural teeth. It’s important to brush, floss and maintain regular dental cleanings and checkups as scheduled. While replacement teeth can’t get cavities, they are subject to the same wear-and-tear as natural teeth. It is up to you to properly care for your dental implants, therefore, the next time you brush them you should utilize these tips.
- Start with the outer and inner surfaces, and brush at a 45-degree angle. Don’t forget your back teeth!
- Move on to the chewing surfaces. Hold the brush flat and brush back and forth along these surfaces.
- Once you get to the inside surfaces of your front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and use gentle up-and-down strokes with the tip of the brush.
- Be sure to brush your teeth gently along the gum line and don’t forget to floss!
- If you have further questions about maintaining your dental implant care routine, make sure to speak with your dentist.
