I have limited use of my arms/hands, and cannot brush my teeth. My dentist has recommended that my teeth be removed and implants put in, due to severe gum disease. (I am 63, male, diabetic.) He said that would cure the gum disease, but I have read that people with implants can still get bad gum infections if they don't brush.

Answer: Brushing and implants Hi:You definitely need to continue to brush your implants so that the plaque that contains bacteria is removed mechanically. I also suggest to use a Oral Essentials Orignial Mouthwash which contains Dead Sea salt and essential oils as an aide.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Answer: Implants Having implants does not absolve anyone from having to care for them, which means brushing them to remove the plaque that forms. You would certainly be healthier after removing your diseased teeth, but the question will be whether or not you should have implants placed knowing you might not be able to care for them.
