Many dentists consider dental implants<\/a> the gold standard of tooth replacements because they provide so many unique advantages. They\u2019re the only restorations surgically placed directly into your jawbone, so they tend to be much more durable and reliable than alternatives like dentures or dental bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they\u2019re known for their strength and resilience, there are some conditions that can lead to implant failure. Continue reading to learn about three habits to avoid to keep them in good health!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bad Habit #1: Smoking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After your procedure, your mouth must form a blood clot over the implant site to keep unwanted bacteria at bay. However, the force of suction created when you take a pull from your cigarette or vape can dislodge it, which can hinder your healing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, tobacco products contain nicotine, which is a vasoconstrictor. When blood flow and oxygen levels are reduced, the body is less able to deliver essential nutrients to the mouth for recovery. Unfortunately, your restoration is more likely to fail if your mouth doesn\u2019t mend properly after your procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad Habit #2: Chewing Hard Objects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re an anxious nail-biter or pen-cap nibbler, now\u2019s an ideal time to try to quit. Biting into anything that\u2019s overly hard or using your teeth to open packages, boxes, or other containers can potentially crack, chip, or otherwise damage your implant. Furthermore, putting foreign objects into your mouth introduces new germs and bacteria that can flourish and cause an infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid chomping down on any inanimate objects or overly hard foods to preserve your oral health and maintain your prosthetics. It\u2019s worth it to take a few extra moments to find a pair of scissors, letter opener, knife, or other appropriate tool for the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad Habit #3: Skipping Cleanings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be numbed for the surgery itself, so you don\u2019t feel any discomfort, but you\u2019re likely to experience mild to moderate aches and inflammation as the meds wear off. If you\u2019re overly tender, you might feel tempted to skip your usual daily dental hygiene routine. Regrettably, doing so can lead to serious problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although you\u2019ll probably want to stick to rinsing with salt water for the first 24 hours, after that, it\u2019s imperative that you clean your mouth consistently. Brushing and flossing twice daily consistently removes bacteria and plaque buildup that can cause gum disease or tooth decay, which can eventually affect your jawbone and cause restoration failure if left unaddressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, you can keep your dental implants intact for years by making a few easy adjustments to some of your daily habits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
