Implant Care.

Care for a long lasting smile. . .

With good oral hygiene, dental implants are a lasting solution. Daily brushing, flossing and regular check-ups are essential routines.

Brush outer.

To clean the outer surface of your teeth, place the manual toothbrush at a 45° angle where tooth and gum meet. Use gentle, small, circular motions for each tooth.

Brush top.

Use back and forth brushing motions to clean the biting surfaces.

Brush behind.

Cleaning behind your lower front teeth is easier when you hold the brush upright and use gentle, small, circular motions where tooth and gum meet. Also gently brush your tongue to remove plaque.

Floss grip.

Take 50 cm of floss and loosely wrap most of it around each middle finger with the bulk of the floss around one finger. Leave about 5cm of floss in between.

Floss between.

With thumbs and index fingers holding the floss, move the floss between your teeth with a very gentle side to side sliding motion.

Floss around.

Curve the floss around each tooth in a “C” shape. Then gently move the floss up and down the sides of each tooth, including under the gumline. Unwind a new piece of floss for the next tooth.

Super Floss.

Oral-B Super Floss has a stiffened end that can be used to thread under the abutments to use the sponge section to clean your dental implants.
