One of the very exciting things you learn early on as you consider dental implants and restorations is that maintaining them isn’t going to be a tall order. Instead, you will still be expected to keep up with the usual preventive care suggestions that were provided to you before you experienced tooth loss. With that said, just like individuals with all-natural smiles can find, you may occasionally feel as though you need some help getting on track with keeping your smile and implants in exceptionally clean condition. Not to worry! Our Santa Rosa, CA team can redirect you with simple instructions that will put you back on a path toward an optimally healthy grin!
#1: Get Back To Super Consistent Care
First and foremost, we remind you that with dental implants and restorations (just like without them), you are going to need to get very serious about your dental care at home. What does that include, you ask? Well, it’s all about your dental hygiene. That means brushing and flossing. Remember that if you have been sort of caring for your smile at home, you will likely see the consequences. So, to get back on track for a much better experience, stick to the following:
- Brush your smile every single morning for two minutes
- Brush your smile every single evening, too, for two minutes
- Floss your entire smile one time daily for as long as you need to do a complete job!
#2: Use Dental Hygiene Products You Actually Like
If you’re shaking your head or dealing with some anxiety as you think about your dental hygiene … and it’s because you really don’t enjoy it … we can fix that. Generally speaking, if you have negative feelings, it’s because you need new products or because something is wrong with your smile. If you are dealing with pain during hygiene, contact our team or your general dentist ASAP. If that’s not it, then ask yourself which of your smile care items you can replace, so you actually like this part of your day. Check in on the flavors, texture, sizes, and more of these items, so your experience is a pleasant one.
