Mouthwash
Mouth rinses should only be used after mechanical cleaning. Ready-to-use mouthrinse solutions support daily oral hygiene. They contain antibacterial agents that inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause inflammation.
It is important not to use too strong or aggressive mouth rinses daily. Some products are intended for short use only and may cause discoloration of the tongue and teeth or taste disturbances during longer use. It is best to ask your dentist or pharmacy about the right mouth rinse solution.
What to consider when flossing
Since the cleaning of the interdental space is very important, especially for implant care, and since not all surfaces can be reached by brushing with a manual or electric toothbrush, the additional use of dental floss is recommended. Flossing should be used once a day after brushing the teeth. In the case of dental implants, the gap between the implant and the abutment (crown) is larger than that of natural teeth. In this area, the gums are usually loose, so it is helpful to use special dental floss. Superfloss®, a special dental floss with a wider soft part, with which the connection between the abutment and the implant can be easily cleaned, is particularly suitable for implant care.
How often should one go to professional teeth cleaning?
Professional tooth cleaning is very important in implant care. In professional tooth cleaning, brushing techniques for home use are explained and can be optimized. In addition, a check of the gums is performed.
A professional tooth cleaning should be carried out twice a year. In addition, an implant check should be performed once a year by a dentist.
