If you’ve had missing teeth replaced with dental implants it’s important to practice proper oral hygiene as if you were born with them. Cleaning dental implants are very similar to the way you would clean your natural teeth with one exception – they require just a little extra attention. Maintaining a rigorous oral hygiene routine is vital, before, during, and after placement. Allow our doctors at Oral Surgery Consultants of Pennsylvania to explain why.
Healthy gums are a firm and pale pink, and if you’ve received dental implants your periodontal health should already be in tip-top shape. Cleaning implant-supported tooth replacements are just as important as cleaning natural teeth because you want to keep the surrounding tissues healthy to maximize the potential of the implants. When cleaning your dental implants, be sure to choose a toothbrush that has been given the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss at least once a day.
