I just watched so many videos and you have no idea how happy I am that you’re in Maryland too!!! I’ve been looking for a new dentist and it’s been rough finding a new one.
excellent video Dr. Prokopets. Do you have suggestions about cleaning the implants before the crown has been out in? Thanks.
What about waterpicks?
You say to use a C motion to get under the gum line w/ an implant. but i'm reading that there's a big difference in how we should floss around natural teeth (wrapping around the tooth, and the gum/tooth interface has nerves and stronger tissue to tell us where to stop VS implants that dont have this natural connection between gums and the abutment) where it's very easy to go too deep below the gum line w/ an implant creating an easy way for bacteria to get down to the bone. my dentist suggested just using a water pic on my dental implants and floss on all the other teeth. does this sound about right?
I just got implant posts put in for my dentures to attach to how do I clean these posts? I've 4 on the top to on the bottom.
I can't find any videos on cleaning implants that do NOT have crowns. Implant with removable denture. Is gentle brushing and mouthwash good enough? I have been to hygienists who don't seem to know what to do - they scrape away at them as if they were real teeth and I am concerned they will actually cause more damage that way.
I'm confused about flossing my implants, i read that it's bad to floss under the gumline but other dentists recommend it, so is it okay if i floss under the gumline because sometimes food gets stuck there
sawsan flossing under gumline is risky if you don't do it in right way, and without the proper techniques.
It can irritate the gum badly.
why I have strange feeling when flossing implant tooth......I felt like the crown on the top of the implant tooth and the root of the implant isn't connecting because my string floss can floss and go through the implant tooth......but if so why the crown on the top isn't fall off if the crown on the top of an implant tooth isn't connect with the root of its????? that is strange a weird isn't it???
A dentist with the look of a top model, very interesting.
It's normal she's russian... 🤷
I got my crown today and I am suspecting that my teeth are going to move a little bit because the floor is kind a hard to get it in between my implant and my tooth like it’s really hard I’m expecting that this pressure I’m feeling it’s gonna go away and the floors will go in easily
Do you think electric toothbrushes are bad for people with receding gums? I want to try the burst electric toothbrush but don’t want it to exacerbate my problem
Do the doctor take the implants out to clean also?
