Needless to say, you\u2019d like to keep the good vibes rolling for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good oral hygiene will help your dental implants last, so of course brushing your teeth twice daily should be part of your routine. But what about flossing? Here\u2019s why you shouldn\u2019t forget about this essential habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Flossing Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might be thinking that flossing inorganic implants seems excessive. However, your toothbrush can\u2019t reach the area between your teeth. Without a good flossing routine in place, sheltered bacteria can cause all kinds of oral health issues, like gum disease, jawbone infection, and even implant failure. A few extra seconds of oral cleaning is well worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, flossing will help keep your dental implants looking pearly and pristine. Bacteria and traces of your most recent meal can cast a yellowy hue onto your smile, even when they\u2019re hiding between your teeth. Floss away these cosmetic irritants, and your dental implants will look good from every angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Flossing Like a Pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to be as thorough as possible when you use threaded floss, you\u2019ll need to know a few tips and tricks. Here\u2019s how the pros do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be gentle and work carefully around your implants<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gingerly pull the floss between your teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Form a \u201cc\u201d shape with the thread, rubbing it up and down the sides of both teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pull the floss free<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rinse and repeat!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These simple adjustments will help you keep your dental implants clean and your oral health in tip-top shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful Oral Hygiene Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nowadays there are several dental \u201ctools\u201d on the market that can improve and refine your oral hygiene routine. If you\u2019re not a big fan of classic floss, for example, you could invest in an oral irrigator. Patients with dental sensitivities especially appreciate being able to spray a gentle jet of water between their teeth instead of tugging or pulling on thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s up to you to maintain day-to-day at-home care for your dental implants, but that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re alone in fighting off harmful bacteria and food particles. Your dentist can lend their assistance during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palmleafdental.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">checkup and cleaning<\/a> appointment. If you schedule these visits every six months, you\u2019ll be in a good position to mitigate oral health problems \u2013 and help your dental implants stand the test of time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.palmleafdental.com\/dr-sarah-veazey-georges.html\">Dr. Sarah Veazey-Georges<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palmleafdental.com\/dr-eric-t-broe.html\">Dr. Eric Broe<\/a> are committed to providing their patients with excellent care through personalized treatment and compassionate service.
