Dental Implant Maintenance
Your new teeth must be cared for and checked
regularly, just like your natural teeth. Brush and floss as
recommended by your dentist or dental hygienist. Return to Dr. Chal
for maintenance visits every six months, or more frequently if so
advised.It's also important that a
dentist trained in maintaining dental implants see you. If you move,
ask Dr. Chal for a recommendation for a local dentist with the
expertise you need to take care of your investment.
Many people are surprised to learn that,
just as natural teeth can succumb to gum disease, dental implants
are also subject to gum disease that attacks the attachment between
the implant and your jaw. To avoid this gum disease, keep them clean
and maintained with faithful brushing and flossing and professional
cleanings.
