Simple tips to help you keep that implant healthy
The daily care of dental implants is very similar to the care of natural teeth.
Restored dental implants should be kept clean and plaque free twice a day using a brush and floss. Cleaning is especially important after meals. This is accomplished by gently brushing, giving special attention to all sides of the implant.
Oral hygiene aids may include:
- Small, soft, manual toothbrushor an electric brush
- Low-abrasive, tartar-control toothpaste
- Dental floss for cleaning around the abutments
Other supplies that may be recommended by the doctor can include:
- Antimicrobial mouth rinses
- Inter-dental brushes or other aids for removing plaque between the teeth on either side of the implant(s)
- Disclosing tablets to stain the locations of plaque accumulation
You must be committed not only to daily performance of dental hygiene
at home, but to regular visits to your dentist.
It is recommended that you see your dentist every 3 6 months for a professional exam and cleaning.
The dental implants should be examined with an x-ray annually. We offer you a no cost, annual implant check-up and x-ray for the first three years
after your dental implant placement as part of our care program.

The ADA recommends that children should see a dentist when their first tooth appears or by their first birthday, whichever comes first.
This visit is important to establish a dental home for your child and to ensure that their teeth are developing properly.
Additionally, regular dental checkups are recommended every six months to maintain good oral health and prevent dental problems from developing.
However, your child's dentist may recommend a different schedule based on their individual needs. It's important to consult with your child's dentist to determine the best schedule for their dental checkups.
