Implants in your mouth require better care than natural teeth. Although they are similar to tooth roots in many respects, their daily care should be done more carefully due to their direct contact with the bone in which they are located and the differences in the surrounding connective tissue.
Today, round form implants are most frequently used. Therefore; The neck area of your implant, adjacent to the gum, needs to be cleaned all around and cleared of plaque.
In addition to toothbrushes and pastes, materials that can perform interface care are also needed in implant prostheses. At least once a day, depending on the amount of interface space; Care tools such as interface brush, super floss, ultra floss and water jet should be used and the areas that the brush does not or cannot come into contact with should be cleaned.
Patients who plan to have an implant or have had it; They may also lose their implants for the same reason they lost their tooth(s). At the same time, the maintenance of crowns/bridges or removable prostheses is as important as the maintenance of the implants.
As a result; Daily care after the implant is made is more important than anything else. You may have neglected your teeth care, but you should never neglect your implant care.
