Just as oral hygiene is essential for the longevity of your teeth, it is also vital for the survival of dental implants. More attention to oral health is needed right after the surgery as the healing is underway. After Dental Implant placement, the dentist restores the implant. The implant becomes prone to gingival and periodontal disease, the same as a natural tooth. In conclusion, proper oral hygiene care is necessary to keep it functional for a long time.
