AppointmentsIf you have a dental implant, then it’s important to do all you can to keep it in the best shape possible. In order to do so, you need to do a few things on a regular basis. Those things are:
–Keep up on oral hygiene: Oral hygiene can help keep your implant in top-notch condition. It can also help kill bacteria that can attack and harm your implant. So, be sure to brush your teeth every morning and every night, floss your smile right before bed, and rinse your mouth daily. As you do these things, use a soft-bristled toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste, your favorite dental floss, and antibacterial mouthwash. No matter which tool and product you use, make sure it has been approved by the American Dental Association.
–Attend your maintenance appointments: Your maintenance appointments are vital if you want to maintain a strong and reliable dental implant. So, make sure you follow the maintenance schedule and come to our office when necessary.
–Visit your dentist: Unfortunately, your dental implant is still vulnerable to gum disease. So, it’s important to visit Dr. Samuel Lambrecht for a routine cleaning. The cleaning can remove the disease-causing plaque and tartar from the faces of your teeth and implant, reducing your chances of falling victim to the disease.
Keeping up on oral hygiene, attending your maintenance appointments, and visiting Dr. Samuel Lambrecht and Dr. Daniel West for a cleaning can help you have the strong, reliable, and top-notch dental implant you deserve.
