Take care of your implants in Palma de Mallorca

It should not be forgotten that once dental implants have been placed, they also need care and attention to ensure that they last for a very long time.
This care is also essential to prevent peri-implant diseases.

Tooth replacement with dental implants is one of the most demanded options nowadays and has been proven to be an effective and safe therapy. However, it should be noted that it is not free from certain threats.

Contrary to popular assumption, there is nothing that lasts forever or a lifetime, and similar to what happens with teeth, it is necessary to clean these implants daily and properly.

If we do not take care of them, just as we lose teeth, we can lose implants, in which peri-implant diseases can appear, characterised by the presence of inflammation and/or infection of the tissues surrounding the implant, which can lead to the complete loss of the implant.

Better safe than sorry

The best option is prevention, which is the only way to avoid future problems and not experience implant failure. Complying with practical and simple advice, as well as visiting our Clinicas Udemax dental clinics regularly for a check-up and cleaning of teeth and implants, are the essential pillars to ensure the good health of implants.

Solving doubts about toothbrushing and implants:

Most implant problems are caused by bacterial plaque build-up on the surrounding gum.

To avoid this, one of the most effective measures is to brush your teeth and/or implants at least twice a day. Brushing is the fundamental tool for proper oral hygiene, but it does not effectively remove plaque from the areas between teeth and/or implants. Therefore, it is necessary to clean all the gaps between teeth and implants every day with interdental hygiene aids such as interdental brushes or dental floss.

We must not forget that dental implants must also be cared for, following hygiene guidelines similar to those for natural teeth.
