Dental implants is a costly dental services after having dental implants you want to make sure you take care of your investment. Therefore you need to do your part so that the implant stays last for a long time. There are many people have no idea how to care for dental implants. Some even believe that since they have an artificial tooth or teeth that they do not need to brush or floss it.

This way of thinking is 100 percent wrong. Yes it is true that dental implants will not decay like our own teeth, however they can still be affected by periodontal (Gum) disease.  Oral hygiene is just as important as it with natural teeth. Having poor dental plaque control the gum tissue can get inflamed. Long standing inflammation can lead to localized bone loss. This eventually can lead to the loss of the dental implant.
