The gum and bone around the implant, however, respond to plaque exactly as they would around a natural tooth. Peri-implantitis, infection of the tissue and bone surrounding the implant, is the primary risk.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n      <button class=\"faq-question\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">\r\n        What toothpaste is safe for dental implants?\r\n        <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span>\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\r\n        Non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste. Look for \"low RDA\" on the label. Avoid whitening, charcoal, and baking soda pastes, all abrasive enough to scratch the crown surface and increase plaque retention.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n      <button class=\"faq-question\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">\r\n        Is regular floss suitable for implants?\r\n        <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span>\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\r\n        Standard waxed floss tends to leave fibres at the crown margin. Interdental brushes with plastic-coated wire are generally more effective than any string floss for implant hygiene.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n      <button class=\"faq-question\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">\r\n        How often should implants be professionally cleaned?\r\n        <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span>\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\r\n        Every 6 months for most patients. Those with periodontitis history, smoking, or uncontrolled diabetes typically need a 3 to 4-month cycle. Professional maintenance removes sub-gingival biofilm that home tools cannot reach.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n      <button class=\"faq-question\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">\r\n        Can a water flosser damage dental implants?\r\n        <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span>\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\r\n        At medium pressure, water flossers are safe and effective. Direct the tip at 45 degrees toward the gum margin, not directly into the sulcus at high pressure. Most brands include an implant-specific tip with softer flow. Use it.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n      <button class=\"faq-question\" onclick=\"toggleFaq(this)\">\r\n        What are the early signs of a problem around an implant?\r\n        <span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span>\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\r\n        Bleeding when cleaning, persistent redness, a bad taste that does not resolve, and visible gum recession all warrant a prompt check. These characterise peri-implant mucositis, which is reversible at this stage. Once bone loss sets in, treatment becomes significantly more complex.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n  <!-- ============================================================\r\n       CTA\r\n       ============================================================ -->\r\n  <div class=\"da-cta\">\r\n    <div class=\"da-cta-title\">Questions About Your Implant Maintenance?<\/div>\r\n    <p>A maintenance consultation can assess your implant tissue health and set the right protocol for your case, regardless of where you were treated.<\/p>\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/contact\/\" class=\"da-cta-btn\" target=\"_blank\">Book a Maintenance Consultation<\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"da-cta-note\">English-speaking coordinators available &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; Remote and in-clinic appointments &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp; No obligation<\/span>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n  <!-- ============================================================\r\n       DISCLAIMER\r\n       ============================================================ -->\r\n  <p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#8a9aaa;font-style:italic;margin-top:32px;padding-top:16px;border-top:1px solid var(--border);\">\r\n    This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute clinical dental advice.
