Because the nature of the implant is more complex than in a natural tooth. It's very important to keep it nice and clean and it’s very important to have a good cleaning technique with the X-floss the implant floss. The idea is to get the floss under the gum, hook the implant with the floss, and pull as tightly as possible then give it a polish, just as you would dry your back with a towel.
