Your regular toothpaste is typically an abrasive toothpaste and may scratch your artificial teeth causing bacteria and may also scratch the outer coating on implants causing implant failure. In addition, the levels of fluoride found in non-specialized toothpastes can be corrosive to the titanium screws. Dentavita® is a nonabrasive, noncorrosive toothpaste that is very gentle on your implants, crowns and bridges.
