What are the precautions after dental implant surgery?

Currently, dental implants have become the mainstay of routine dental restoration procedures, and many people are quite familiar with dental implants through science popularization by various medical institutions and other channels. However, when it comes to the precautions after dental implant surgery, many people are still not very clear about them.

Today, let's sort out the precautions after dental implant surgery, hoping to help everyone. The precautions start from several aspects.

Lifestyle habits

1. After artificial dental implantation, smoking should be reduced, and it is best to quit smoking, because smoking increases the incidence of inflammation in the tissues surrounding the dental implant.

2. Stick to brushing your teeth once in the morning and once in the evening every day and rinsing your mouth after meals to ensure a clean oral environment. Brushing before bed is especially important, because after dinner, saliva secretion decreases during sleep, and the mouth's self-cleaning effect is poorer.

3. Usually, you should eat less spicy, excessively cold and hard food. After dental implantation, pay attention to

Oral cleaning

1. Choose a toothbrush with soft, smooth bristles with rounded tips, and soak it in hot water before use to make it softer, then dip it in toothpaste and salt for cleaning. This can both clean oral dirt and strengthen the health care and maintenance of the dental implant, reducing stimulation and damage to the dental implant. For brushing water, choose warm water.

2. When choosing toothpaste, choose one containing soft abrasives.

3. Choose a fluoride toothpaste with finer particles and low friction.

4. According to your own situation, you can use dental floss, gingival sulcus brushes, single-tuft brushes and interdental brushes to clean every part of the dental implant.

5. Choose a suitable mouthwash and oral irrigator. Topical fluoride can be used for cleaning, but it must be neutral fluoride. Acidic fluoride will damage the implant. Please consult a doctor before use.

Dental implant care

1. Eat as little food containing iodine and acid as possible to prevent corrosion of the titanium implant surface.

2. Never use the dental implant to continuously chew hard food, to prevent unnecessary problems caused by excessive metal fatigue.

3. Have the tissue around the dental implant maintained once every 6 months, using specialized instruments to remove harmful substances such as tartar and dental plaque that cannot be removed by ordinary brushing, to prevent inflammation around the implant, thereby maintaining the long-term cleanliness and stability of the dental implant.
