Do 3 Things Diligently after Dental Implants
Many
people think that dental implantation is the end of dental treatment, as long
as the dental implantation is successful, it will be done once and for all, and
will never suffer from toothache. I hereby reminds the public that this
statement is wrong. Although dental implants are not threatened by tooth decay,
like real teeth, dental implants may loosen due to damage to surrounding
tissues.
Improper
cleaning of teeth will accumulate plaque at the junction between the implant
and the gums, causing inflammation and shrinkage of the soft tissue around the
implant, forming a pocket, further destroying the alveolar bone around the
implant, causing the foundation around the implant to collapse, and finally The
implant will loosen and fall off.
1.
Keep your mouth clean
If
you want to extend the useful life of dental implants, good oral hygiene is
very important. Xiaoya reminds that using a toothbrush alone is not enough, but
also needs to be combined with dental floss and interdental brush to complete
oral cleaning. Because there is a dead space between the crown and the implant
between the teeth of the implant, it is easy to accumulate dental plaque.
Therefore, in addition to cleaning with a toothbrush, the use of dental floss
and interdental brush is very important.
2.
Use special interdental brushes
Because
the implant is made of metal, when using an interdental brush, the wire on the
brush head may scratch the metal surface of the implant. It is recommended to
choose an interdental brush with a plastic coating on the brush head.
3.
Avoid excessive chewing
Different
from real teeth, there is no periodontal ligament around the artificial tooth
roots, and the force type is different from that of real teeth. Therefore, avoid
excessive force when chewing or biting. Hard and tough foods should be
carefully applied or avoided. . Every 3-6 months should be checked and tracked
regularly to ensure the quality of dental implants and maintain good function.
There
is still a slight difference between implants and real teeth. If the real tooth
is decayed, just pull it out. If the implant is broken, the crown is removed.
It is a big project to remove the implant completely without damaging the
alveolar bone; and the unit price of the implant High, if the service life is
too short due to improper use, it will always be frustrating.
