Absolutely! It's one of the best ways to clean your result at home. Be sure your dentist/hygienist are removing your denture and cleaning your implants once a year. This will have some cost as the tiny screws that retain your denture fatigue and must be changed every two years.
Yes absolutely! We actually recommend for all of our patients to get water flossers if they have an implant supported denture or any major dental work!
Yes. Use the lowest setting possible and use per the manufacturer's directions. I assume the implant is at least six months old and there are no complications with it. Do not hover over the implant with the nozzle but use as with all other teeth. Stop using if any pain, discomfort, or redness arises. DENTIST
