Dental implants are becoming very common in the industry. Many patients out there have this. You may be one of those. Now tooth is on Dental Implants that is a crown or a cap, sometimes porcelain. It’s important to keep this clean just as your regular teeth. They are going to feel like your regular teeth, they are going to look like your regular teeth. So let’s treat them like such except there are a few little things you are going to look out with the dental implants.


There is an example on the figure in which you can see there is a window showing the implant in the bone. It’s just like have a tooth back. It’s really important that you clean around this to keep the bacteria down. You don’t want to get infections in the bones which can spoil your dental implants.
First of all Brushing. Just use a standard regular tooth brush and brush the tooth in every direction, biting surface and outside. You brush very little circles that are 54 degree angles to get those gums. Once you get those gums cleaned there, it’s also important to floss around that.
