DENTAL IMPLANT MAINTENANCE

With proper care, your dental implant restoration can last as long as your natural teeth. Good dental hygiene is essential to your oral health in general. Dental implant hygiene and maintenance is equally important. Just as your teeth need regular brushing and flossing, dental implants require that same regular care. Although implants are not susceptible to decay, the gum tissue surrounding the area can develop.

Hydroxyapatite toothpaste

Hydroxyapatite toothpaste mimics the natural components that make enamel strong — namely phosphate and calcium ions, which form hydroxyapatite crystals.

Toothpaste that contains hydroxyapatite features synthetic forms of these minerals to help remineralize enamel that has been worn down by bacteria and decay.
