Overly forceful flossing can damage the seal around the base of the implant. Be sure to work the sides of the tooth (right side, back, left side) before you move on to your other teeth. When flossing under dental appliances like implanted dentures or bridges, go slowly and be gentle as you floss.

How do you clean your gums when you have dentures?

Soak and brush them with a soft-bristled brush and nonabrasive denture cleanser to remove food, plaque and other deposits. If you use denture adhesive, clean the grooves that fit against your gums to remove any remaining adhesive. Don't use denture cleansers inside your mouth. Soak dentures overnight.
