Palo Alto Dental Implants CareImplants in Palo Alto provided by Dr. Sharma , Dr. Lin , and Dr. Cheong at Palo Alto Oral Health  A dental implant is one of the best and most effective solutions for missing teeth and is becoming an increasingly common treatment option. When you choose a dental implant, your dentist will place an implant (titanium screw) directly into your jawbone. Dental implants are a popular choice as they offer a lasting treatment for lost teeth.To ensure that your dental implant is successful and provides a durable solution, you need to know about dental implant care so you can keep your dental implants in great shape. Maintain Oral HygieneFollowing the dental implant, you need to take care of your oral hygiene. Make sure you brush your teeth twice every day using low-abrasive toothpaste. The bacteria in your mouth may accumulate in the same way on your dental implant as it does on your natural teeth. Hence, you need to get rid of it twice every day. You will also need to floss your teeth regularly. You can find dental implant-specific flossing products that will not only clean the pockets in between your teeth but will also take care of the surrounding tissue while maintaining your oral health. Keep a Check on What You EatYour diet plays an important role when it comes to dental implant care. Following the implant, you should stick to a soft diet for a few days as you will experience swelling, pain, and discomfort following the implant. You should avoid hot and spicy foods for a few days following the implant. You should be able to return to your normal diet in a few days, but it's best to avoid hard foods until your dental implant heals fully. Furthermore, even when your dental implant heals completely, it's best to limit your intake of sugary and sticky foods, as they can damage your dental implant in the same way they damage your natural teeth. Get in Touch with a ProfessionalAlong with maintaining basic hygiene practices, you will also need to get in touch with a dental hygienist as they will guide you about measures you need for your dental implant care at home. They may recommend using oral irrigators that ensure complete cleaning of your teeth without damaging the surrounding tissue. If inflammation occurs, you can add diluted antimicrobial mouthwash. However, it's always best to consult your dentist. With routine maintenance of oral hygiene, you can ensure the longevity of your dental implants. Dental implant care is critical not only after the procedure but also for years to come so you can enjoy a healthy oral cavity.
