“How do you use a Waterpik with an implant?”
I got dental implants and want to use a Waterpik. How do you use a Waterpik with an implant?

As long as the implant is healed and the power is on low you can use a water pik with an implant
Using a Waterpik with dental implants is a helpful part of oral hygiene. To use it: 1. Start with the lowest pressure setting to avoid damaging the implant or surrounding tissues. 2. Hold the Waterpik's nozzle at a 90-degree angle to the implant and gumline. 3. Gently and thoroughly rinse around the implant, aiming to remove debris and plaque. 4. Use warm water or an antimicrobial mouthwash in the Waterpik for added cleanliness. 5. Be cautious not to apply too much pressure directly on the implant, and if you're unsure, consult your dentist for specific guidance on caring for your dental implant.
