Post-Surgery Care and Onward Dental implants in Boca Raton are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. While they are not susceptible to decay, your mouth still requires proper oral care. Read on for ways to protect gum tissue, oral health, and overall physical health, as well as ensure you dental implants last a lifetime! After Implant Surgery Dental implant placement may be completed in one or multiple stages. Some discomfort is normal regardless of which type of placement you receive, and after each procedure you should do the following: ·Take prescription or over-the-counter pain relievers as needed. ·Eat soft foods to let the implant sites heal. ·Use a cold compress if you experience facial swelling. ·Keep your mouth as clean as possible. Ongoing Care with Dental Implants Brushing ? Implants won? t get cavities, but good oral hygiene is still necessary to prevent gum disease and infection. Brush with a fluoride toothpaste twice a day as normal. Choose a brush with soft bristles that is gentle on teeth and gums. Flossing ? Floss your teeth every day using care around the implant sites. Flossing removes bacteria that could cause gums to become inflamed. Without flossing, peri-implantitis can occur around an implant and jeopardize its integrity.
