Hygiene tip themes (education)
Brush gently along the gumline twice a day with a soft brush unless your sheet says otherwise. Clean between implants with floss, threaders, or interdental brushes as your hygienist demonstrated. Water flossers help some mouths—ask which settings are safe for your restorations before buying. Soft-food guidance after recent surgery still overrides generic tips until you are cleared. Nightguards matter if you grind—ask whether yours still fits after new teeth.
When to book hygiene
Ask how often implant-focused hygiene visits fit your plan. Bleeding, odor, or food traps are fair reasons to call sooner than the next recall. Keep the after-hours number from your discharge sheet. Confirm suite 120 and parking when you book. Rank comfort vs thoroughness so the home-care plan sticks between visits.
