What to do if a dental implant gets in your stomach

Dental implants can be self-discharged if they are eaten into the stomach, and can be removed either by eating more food to promote defecation or by surgery. 1. Self-discharge: If the dental implant does not have a sharp part, you can eat more food to promote defecation and wait for the dental implant to be discharged by itself. For example, you can eat some coarse grains, celery, leeks and other foods rich in dietary fiber to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote defecation. 2. Surgery: If the dental implant is metal and has a sharp part, if this part is swallowed into the digestive tract, it is easy to scratch the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, which may lead to bleeding in severe cases, and then it needs to be removed by surgery, such as endoscopic removal. If it is not discharged from the body after defecation or if there is any physical discomfort, you should consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and treat it under the guidance of the doctor, and carry out standardized treatment as early as possible in order to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
