After going through the long process of having a dental implant, the life of your implant will last if you take good care of it. The Mayo Clinic clearly provides what you need to do:
Practice exceptional oral hygiene. Keep your new teeth clean. There are special brushes that slides between teeth to help clean the teeth, gums and metal abutments.
See your dentist regularly. Dental checkups should be scheduled every sis months for the dentist to properly monitor the condition of your overall oral health, and the proper functioning of the implant.
Avoid damaging habits. Chewing of hard food items such as candies must be avoided as it can break the crown whether your teeth is natural or an implant. Also avoid tobacco, caffeine and other tooth-staining products. Those who grind their teeth should seek treatment.
