“When can I brush my dental implant?”

Do not follow your Demtist instruction

You should brush the area with a soft brush ASAP. Tonight is a good start!

Typically a medicated mouthwash is prescribed to clean the surgical area for two weeks after surgery. The first two weeks are critical in the initial stages of healing. After the two weeks, an extra soft toothbrush can be used or a gauze wipe around the healing cap to keep the area clean. After a few weeks of more healing routine brushing and flossing can begin. Discuss this with your surgeon for more details.
