Six: Process, Recovery Time and Home Care | 69
It goes without saying that you shouldn’t use any hefty cleaning tools (metal picks, etc.) around anything to do with your dental implants.

RULE OF THUMB: THOROUGH + GENTLE = GOOD DENTAL IMPLANT MAINTENANCE
You have to make time: Making time to commit yourself to a routine cleaning process for your mouth is the same as making time to put on makeup, shave your face or style your hair.
Once you integrate a gentle, and thorough, dental cleaning into your routine every day, it will become automatic – and the few minutes you take to clean properly on a daily basis is virtually priceless.
