You know by now, if you’re wearing dental implants, that you absolutely, no-way, no-how can skip your dental flossing.

Of course, we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves here. Assuming you do take wonderful care of your smile but you’re just having a bit of a hard time with flossing, we’d like to help you out! Take our advice to heart.
