If you have dental implants, you need to use proper care to ensure that they remain firmly rooted in your gums and maintain their appearance. Remember, even though these are false teeth, they need to be cared for with as much attention as you give to your regular teeth to give them a long life and keep your mouth healthy.

Whenever possible, brush your teeth after every meal. If you are not already in the habit of doing this, start now. Brushing after meals removes debris and acid from your teeth and dental implants. If you cannot realistically brush after some meals, try to brush at night and in the morning after breakfast. Also, floss between your teeth, including your false teeth, on a daily basis. Flossing removes plaque from between the teeth. While plaque may not damage the false teeth, it will irritate the gums, and this can lead to gum disease. Keep in mind that dentures require a different care regimen than teeth implanted into the gums.

You may need some special cleaning aids to help you care for your false teeth. If you need something other than a regular toothbrush and floss, your dentist will explain what you need and how to use it.

Today’s dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. However, some foods can damage or loosen them. Patients should avoid certain foods that are high in sugar or have a very sticky texture. Your dentist will give you a list of foods to avoid.

Placing a lot of pressure on these false teeth can damage them. Avoid clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth after you have one placed in your mouth. If you regularly grind your teeth or clench your jaw while you sleep, talk to your dentist about a mouthpiece that will retrain your muscles to avoid these potentially damaging behaviors.

Sometimes, even when they are firmly rooted and well cared for, dental implants wear out over time. If you find that one of your false teeth cracks, chips, or breaks, visit your dentist for a replacement procedure. This procedure is not invasive like the original procedure.

Finally, dental implants should not cause pain or discomfort once your gums have healed. If you experience pain or discomfort, talk to your dentist right away. When functioning properly these teeth will feel as comfortable as your natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy a beautiful smile and healthy mouth once again.
