If you’re considering dental implants, you may wonder how choosing them may affect your dental hygiene. Will they make matters better? Worse? Just … different? It’s important to recognize that no matter what we provide you for your smile, it will never make your life more difficult. Instead, dental care will improve your oral health and will improve your quality of life. With that said, we encourage you to try your hand at a brief quiz. You will likely find the answers you are hoping to discover.
Quiz Questions: True or False?
- True or False: Receiving dental implants immediately makes your overall dental hygiene easier because you no longer have open spaces that attract the accumulation of debris.
- True or False: Maintaining your implants is no more complex than maintaining your natural smile. You’ll just use the same products as you always have to keep plaque and food particles off of your teeth and gums.
- True or False: Even though your crown and implant are not made of organic tissue, you need to clean them thoroughly because they reside within organic tissue that can become diseased or inflamed (and that can lead to implant failure).
Quiz Answers
- True. When you have a complete smile, it’s always much easier to make it through an effective, efficient dental hygiene session. You will also be able to make it through the day without needing additional sessions because of trapped food or discomfort.
- True. Implants are extremely similar to natural teeth. As a result, your maintenance is going to look nearly identical with the use of similar products.
- True. It’s all about relying on hygiene to keep your entire smile clean, whether tissue is natural or artificial, so you avoid hygiene-related diseases.
