Can I wear lipstick if I have dental implants due to periodontal disease?

Asked By:Peaceful428589 in Austin, Texas

Hello. So, I had severe periodontitis disease and had to get a full set of dentures. It's all getting healed and everything but I was wondering and reminiscing about what the doctor had told me before. He told me to throw away my toothbrush and all that I used for oral hygiene after getting my implants and everything, I imagined it was because of the periodontal disease I had before. Now I'm wondering, should I also throw away the lipsticks and everything I wore before?
