Precautions after dental implants

Dental implants are a very good way to restore teeth, however, it does not mean that our teeth will be completely worry-free after the implant, in order to be able to use the dental implants better and longer, we must pay attention to the following matters: Item 1, within 24 hours after the dental implant surgery as soon as possible cold compress corresponding to the surgical area of the face, such as facial swelling or bruising, it is recommended that after 48 hours hot compress. Due to the different physical and surgical procedures, there may be different degrees of surgical reactions, some patients may have mild or no discomfort reactions, while others may have local edema and bruises, which usually last about 3-5 days. Do not try to swallow the saliva in the mouth, do not gargle hard; it is normal to have some blood in the saliva; do not brush your teeth and use water for 24 hours after surgery, because too frequent gargling may cause the teeth to bleed, but you can gargle with mouthwash after meals to prevent the residue of food in the mouth, and you can eat and drink moderately 2 hours after surgery, and the food should not be too cold and too hot. Do not smoke to avoid affecting the healing of soft tissues and alveolar bone; do not lick the wound with your tongue or touch it with your hands, and do not suck on it; take the necessary medication as prescribed by the doctor and follow up on the consultation. During this period, take the medication prescribed by the dentist and use mouthwash to keep the oral wound clean and prevent infection. During the three to six months after the removal of the sutures, do not damage the artificial roots and do not chew with them, which will affect the effect of the implant. On the other hand, porcelain teeth are brittle and not easy to repair after damage. After putting on the porcelain crown, you should also pay attention to the hygiene of the area between the neighboring teeth to prevent the decay of the neighboring teeth. Once the impact may hurt the root of the tooth, you should go to the hospital immediately for examination and treatment. Item 9: Execute the doctor’s prescription carefully and return to the hospital regularly for follow-up consultation. Generally, the first week, the first month, the third month, six months, and one year after the installation of teeth to the hospital for follow-up. Experts remind that in order to get a better treatment guarantee, it is important to choose a regular hospital when performing dental implants.
