A dental implant is an artificial titanium root that has a porcelain or zirconium crown replacing a tooth, so we must take proper care of it to extend its lifespan, so we recommend the following care tips:
- . Maintain good oral hygiene
three times a day, preferably complemented with mouthwash and dental floss. - Use interdental brushes
which are not like conventional ones, they are thin to clean between teeth and can also be used for orthodontics. - Oral irrigators
are devices that emit a jet of water to clean hard-to-reach places such as between teeth. - Avoid tobacco use
it contains toxic substances that hinder healing and can lead to infections and consequently implant failure. - Make a scheduled appointment with your Dentist
for maintenance and monitoring of the implant at least once a year
