How should I care for my dental implants?

Ronald Rosenblatt, DDS (General and Cosmetic Dentistry) gives expert video advice on: How should I care for my dental implants?

Dental implants actually require more care than your natural tooth. The reason for this is that around your natural tooth is a biological zone which keeps bacteria out. You don't have anything like that with a dental implant. A dental implant will have the gum adhere very tightly to the dental implant, but it is not impervious to bacteria so you need to do a better job of brushing your dental implant than you did your natural tooth. You need to become almost "born again" if you lost your teeth from neglect. You can't do that with your dental implant.
