Brush them at least twice a day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like normal teeth, looking\nafter your implants requires the simplest form of care, the first of which\nbeing regular brushing. Prosthetic teeth aren\u2019t necessarily made from natural\nmaterials but they do attract the same oral ailments such as plaque\/ tartar\nbuild-up and gum disease. Brushing your implants on a morning can help get rid\nof your morning breath and also kills bacteria that has accumulated in your\nmouth overnight. Similarly, brushing in the evening, before bed, helps reduce\nthe build-up of plaque overnight which could reduce your chances of decay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy a soft-bristled toothbrush<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hard bristles can damage your\ngums and cause bleeding. With this in mind, a soft-bristled toothbrush is\nalways recommended for dental implants, because it is effective in removing\nplaque and tartar, but is kinder to the soft tissue in your mouth. If you have\nan electric toothbrush, keep using it, they tend to be more effective for\ncleaning teeth because they generate a higher number of strokes than the human\nhand can. And if you don\u2019t, you should maybe think about investing in one, it\nwill help maintain the longevity of your implants over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try and brush around your implants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular brushing should do the\ntrick when it comes to killing bacteria and plaque\/tartar build-up, but it\ncould help to pay particular attention to your implants. Studies have found\nthat bacteria can become more concentrated around implants and can, if left\nuntreated, cause peri-implantitis. In order to avoid this, you should use an\nangled toothbrush or a slim-head interdental brush, because this will help to\neliminate hard-to-reach bacteria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use special floss<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flossing is an oral health must, but not all kinds are appropriate for implants. Crown and bridge floss is expertly designed to target under and around implants using strong nylon ends and a specially formulated middle, which gently cleans the implant surface and the porcelain close to the gums. The strong ends mean people are able to insert and floss between the prosthetics at the gumline and pull any food debris or bacteria out the other side. Most dentists recommend doing this after regular brushing, because it helps to distribute fluoride around the implants and destroy any lingering bacteria.\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
