🧡🦷Got dental implants? Here’s how to keep them in top condition 🦷
Taking care of implants isn’t complicated, but it does require consistency. Unlike natural teeth, implants can’t get cavities—but the gums and bone around them still need proper care.
Start with the basics: brush twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Be gentle around the gum line, because that’s where problems can start if plaque builds up.
Flossing is just as important. Regular floss works, but interdental brushes or water flossers can be even better for cleaning around implants and hard-to-reach areas.
Don’t skip dental check-ups. Professional cleanings help remove buildup you can’t get at home, and your dentist can spot early signs of issues like inflammation or gum disease.
Watch your habits too. Avoid chewing hard objects like ice or pens, and if you grind your teeth at night, consider getting a mouthguard to protect your implant.
Finally, pay attention to your gums. Redness, swelling, or bleeding isn’t normal—if you notice any of these, get it checked early.
Look after your implants, and they can last for many years—sometimes even a lifetime.
