During your recovery, there are some things that we may recommend you to do to care for your teeth while your mouth is healing, such as eating soft foods or taking antibiotics. After your recovery, however, no additional care is needed beyond maintaining a healthy oral routine. You can take care of your implant the same way you do your natural teeth, by brushing and flossing. Some good practices should be maintained to keep both your implants and your natural teeth healthy: Keep up good oral health practices, brushing twice a day and flossing once daily. Schedule a checkup with us once every six months. Avoid chewing on hard items like candy, as this can damage your implants as well as your natural teeth.
