Adequate oral hygiene must be established prior to implant therapy and must be maintained to ensure long-term health of the implants.
Like natural teeth, implants can fail when hygiene is poor and plaque is allowed to accumulate.
A number of special brushes, flosses and rinses are available to help you maintain your implant restoration. You should discuss
the appropriate tools and their proper use with your dentist, who will likely have you return to the office periodically to assess your home
care and the health of your implants. Regular visits with your dentist should include professional cleanings.
