You’ve finally had the All-on-4® treatment and your smile is brighter than ever. After all of the excitement of getting your new teeth, there is one thing you forgot to ask your dentist. How do you take care of your All-on-4® implants?

Taking care of your All-on-4® implants is simple and easy, as it’s the same as taking care of your natural teeth. How do you take care of your natural teeth? You brush and floss them. It’s the same with your All-on-4® implants.

How Do You Take Care of Your New Teeth?

1. Remove food particles

Food particles often get stuck in between our teeth, right? The same goes for your new teeth. From time to time, food will get stuck there. Use a soft toothpick to remove the bigger chunks of food. Be gentle with it not to injure your gum.

1. Floss

I know you are familiar with flossing. Use a string of floss to remove food under the bridge and in between the teeth. Floss is an excellent way to remove the pieces as it is flexible and can reach the point where toothpicks can't. Ensure you floss at least once a day before you go to sleep.

1. Brushing

Brush your teeth thoroughly with a soft brush. Electric toothbrushes have proven to be more effective than regular ones. If possible, use an electric one. Avoid using toothpaste that has abrasive products. Brush for two to three minutes in gentle, circular movements all the way up to the gum line. Brush at least twice a day.

1. Clean the tongue and rinse your mouth

The tongue also has food particles left. So to protect your teeth, you also have to clean your tongue and rinse your mouth.

1. Regular visits to the dentist

Visit your dentist regularly. The dentist will examine if the teeth are still okay and stable and remove the tartar and plaque on the teeth.

The All-on-4® treatment is a revolutionary way of providing individuals with new teeth that look just like natural ones.
