Best Mouthwashes for Full Arch Dental Implants
If you are considering getting full arch dental implants or already have them, you may find that you need special tools to properly care for certain areas of your mouth. These are some of the dental implant cleaning tools that we found to be useful for ourselves.
Important Note
Prior to using any of these tools, be sure to contact your dental/healthcare professional to confirm if these are the appropriate tools for your personal situation. Also check with your healthcare professional on when is the appropriate time to begin using these tools (e.g. how long after your dental implant surgery) so that you don't risk damaging your implants and prosthetics or creating delays in your recovery/healing time.
Choosing A Mouthwash
Mouthwash helps reduce the levels of harmful bacteria in your mouth. You may even be prescribed an antibacterial mouthwash immediately before and after dental implant surgery called Chlorhexidine.
If you are prescribed Chlorhexidine, be sure to confirm with your dentist/healthcare professional exactly how many times a day you should use it as well as how many days/weeks you should use it for. Prolonged use of antibacterial/antiseptic mouthwash is known to cause stains on your teeth, fillings, and tongue.
In general, most types of mouthwashes should be okay to use once you have recovered from dental implant surgery and have received the okay from your dentist/healthcare professional to use regular mouthwash at home. Our personal preference is to use one that is alcohol free because the burning sensation caused by the ones that contain alcohol feel unpleasant. Below are some examples of alcohol free mouthwash.
