  1. Cleaning Tips to Prolong the Life of Your Dental Implants Caring and cleaning of a dental implant are necessary to prolong their functionality and appearance. Failure to properly clean and care for the implants may increase the chances of peri-implantitis, which is an inflammatory ailment affecting the hard and soft tissues around the implants. However, by cleaning the dental implants every day, you can minimize the chances of peri-implantitis and prolong the lifespan and brightness of the dental implants. So, let us check out the effective ways, as suggested by the best dentist for All-on-4 surgery, to clean the dental implants to prolong their lifespan after a painless All-on-4 surgery. Use a toothbrush with soft bristles Soft bristles are an efficient and safe way to clean dental implants. They do not cause any bleeding or any damage to the gums. Soft bristles are equally effective as hard or medium bristles at eliminating plaque and tartar from the teeth. Also, electric brushes have displayed more efficiency in removing more bacteria from the teeth in comparison to manual toothbrushes, simply because electric brushes generate more strokes in comparison to the hand. So, choose whichever type of brush you want but make sure that it possesses soft bristles. Brush twice every day Brushing every morning after waking up removes bacteria and bad breath that gets built up overnight inside the mouth. Whereas, brushing at night after dinner and before bedtime removes all the bacteria built up during the day. This also reduces the chances of decay and plaque built up overnight. Dentists normally recommend brushing after each meal or as required to remove bacteria and food debris. But, in case of bacterial infection, you may want to opt for the teeth in a day before and after surgery.

  2. Use water flosser The water flosser is also called a dental water jet or oral irrigator. This water jet disrupts the bacterial formation in the pocket depths and removes them efficiently. The jet helps to remove bacteria from at least 6mm deep. Most water jets contain a rubber tip stimulator and different attachments that are designed to properly accommodate the sensitive delicate gums and clean them efficiently. Water flossers can also effectively clean the hard-to-reach regions between two teeth. Most dentists recommend a water flosser over the dental floss, as most branded dental floss contains particles that can result in peri-implantitis. Use the water jet before brushing to prevent the fluoride toothpaste from getting flushed out completely. Use bridge and crown floss Bridge and crown flosses are specifically designed to help you scrub around and under the dental implant. It comprises of two hard nylon tips and the furry middle, which facilitates the gentle clean up of the implant surface, as well as, the porcelain touching the gums. The hard ends help in inserting the crown and bridge floss between two dental implants all the way to the edges of the gum and then pulling it from the outer side. Then, you can lean the floss against the surface of the implant and stroke it sideways. For best results, use the floss right after brushing the teeth when the toothpaste deposit is still in the mouth. This activity facilitates the distribution of fluoride around your dental implant, preventing the growth of unwanted bacteria around it. Use a toothpaste that is low-abrasive Use a healthy toothpaste, one that does not contain abrasive ingredients like stain removing agents or soda, as these components may settle on the acrylic component and remove the glaze from the porcelain implants. Find a toothpaste that is particularly made for dental implant use. You can ask your dental specialist for any toothpaste recommendations. Alternatively, the teeth in a day before and after surgery may be an option. Brush around and under the crown of dental implant Plaque or bacteria may accumulate around or under the crown of the implant, which can increase the chances of peri-implants. To efficiently access these hard-to-reach areas, try the interdental toothbrush or angled neck brush with slim heads. These brushes are helpful, especially with the end of the mouth implants.
