Best Practices for Maintaining Dental Implants

[Natalikumar]

I recently got dental implants and I'm looking for any tips or best practices for maintaining them. I want to ensure they last as long as possible and stay in great condition. Any advice from those who've had implants for a while? What's your routine?

Ooh interesting.
I was told by the hygienist where I had my (really new & badly done )implant to use super floss around the implant crown and to make sure I floss all other teeth daily. I’m keen to hear others recommendations.

I have implants and my dentist gave me a water pik to use in addition to brushing.
I give my teeth a good brush, think that they're clean but the water pik flushes out tiny bits of food that were trapped in the slight gap between the implants and the gum.
