A dental implant is a titanium fixture that is placed into the bone and a permanent restoration is fixed onto it to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Dental Implants Glasgow are considered to be the gold standard for teeth replacement.
They provide safe and long-lasting solution to replace missing, damaged or decayed teeth.
Good oral health is essential for dental implant maintenance. The longevity of the dental implant is directly related to the aftercare, regular dental check-ups and good oral health. If you look after your dental implants well they can last a lifetime. Looking after your dental health is vital for your general health and the longevity of healthy teeth and gums.
We all know that we need to clean our teeth twice a day for two minutes and floss on a daily basis, but does the teeth cleaning routine change after having dental implants placed?
If you have replaced your missing or damaged teeth with dental implants you should see your dental hygienist every 3 to 6 months. Regular can help to prevent serious gum diseases such as gingivitis and ensure that dental implants are functioning well. It is vital to make sure that your dental hygienist has experience in dental implant maintenance and has special equipment such as ceramic instruments to clean your implants.
Overall you should brush your teeth twice a day for 2 minutes and floss at least once a day. Your dentist or dental therapist will help you to pick the right dental implant care routine and will advise you on interdental cleaning options.
