How To Protect Dental Implants So They Last Forever
Your first set of dental implants might be the last teeth you ever possess in your life. Unfortunately, they’re expensive, so you’ll need to look after them properly. You’ll likely end up with a cheaper alternative if you don’t.
Let’s look at some magical ways to ensure your new pearly whites don’t lose their shine.
Once you start ignoring the advice, the quality of your teeth will begin to drop. Turn these tips into habits for ultimate success.
1. Rinse Out Mouth Regularly
It’s impossible to brush your teeth multiple times during the day unless you walk around with a toothbrush in your pocket.
If you stick to brushing twice per day, you’ll be fine. Rinsing out your mouth with water is different.
You can rinse your mouth out whenever you walk past a sink/bathroom.
It works better if you use warm salt water, which will repair pH levels in your mouth. Dental services will be less expensive over the course of a year.
2. Don’t Skip Dentist Visits
Everyone should visit the dentist at least twice per year. You can add an extra appointment if you feel like you need to see someone sooner.
Just don’t get into the habit of skipping appointments because it will end badly.
Once you’ve missed one appointment, you’ll feel okay about missing another. It will get to the point where you struggle to see the dentist once per year. You can’t expect your implants to survive without the help of a professional.
3. Overhaul Your Nasty Diet
Why would you eat foods you know are full of toxic ingredients for teeth? Try to forget how good sugar, honey, and toffee taste.
If you eat a healthy diet, it will keep your teeth healthy from the inside and outside.
Cheese is great because it’s tough. It will clean bacteria off your teeth as you chew/eat it. Leafy greens, nuts, and oily fish are great too.
Research foods and write down a list of everything you enjoy.
4. Smoking Dulls Your Teeth
You shouldn’t be smoking in the first place because it’s terrible for your health, but some people get addicted at a young age.
Smoke will discolor your teeth because they’ll get stained as you breathe it in.
There are other kinds of food/drink you should avoid after getting your dental implants.
Tea is better than coffee, so go easy on Starbucks Americanos. It’s wise to brush roughly one hour after every meal you consume.
5. Start Using A Mouth Guard
Implants won’t fall out on their own while you’re eating lunch. That doesn’t mean they’re indestructible and capable of handling anything.
Have you seen people getting smashed around in football and soccer?
Look into mouth guards for ultimate teeth protection while playing sports.
I know it’s unlikely someone will elbow you in the mouth, but what’s the alternative? You don’t want to lose an implant through bad luck.
Dental Implants Can’t Be Beaten
You’d be surprised how many people are wearing a full set of dental implants today, especially in the celebrity world.
It’s impossible to tell one way or the other.
