When we place an implant, there no longer is a periodontal ligament to attach the gums to the tooth. So, we must floss all the way around the tooth. We must work the floss under the crowns as far as you can get it and clean out any debris. Also, a waterpik can be helpful. You just need to be careful to not turn it all the way up. Use the pik at about a level 4. And always a good mouth rinse three times a day would help to clean out those gums.
