subject: Caring for Your Dental Implants [print this page] Here's a useful checklist that will help take good care of your dental implants:
* Brush your dental implants at least twice a day.
* Dental implants can build up plaque, so it is best to floss regularly to avoid gum diseases.
* Dental implants need to be professionally cared for, so regular check-ups are recommended.
* Do not place too much pressure on your dental implants, especially when grinding and clenching your teeth.
* Always remember to follow the instructions given by your dentist in caring for the implants.
Special Instructions
Each different type of dental implant requires specific instructions in caring for them. For removable dentures, a particular kind of toothbrush and rinse is required.
You can ask your dentist to demonstrate the correct way of cleaning your implants. Restoration Replacement If dental implants wear off, your dentist can restore or replace them as necessary. Replacing or restoration of your implants does not cause any pain. Like all good things, you need to work at caring for your dental implants if you wish to enjoy the benefits they bring into your life. This will help keep you smiling.
