However, like your natural teeth, dental implants shouldn\u2019t be taken for granted; you\u2019ll need to continue practicing good oral hygiene to avoid gum infections that can ultimately lead to implant failure. Here are 4 tips for keeping your new teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Be Careful During the Recovery Period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the implant is placed, you\u2019ll need time to heal. Your dentist\ncan give you more specific instructions for at-home recovery, but in general\nyou\u2019ll be on a liquid diet for the first couple of days; even after that you\u2019ll\nneed to stick to soft foods for a while. During this time period, you can clean\nyour mouth and reduce inflammation by rinsing with salt water two or three\ntimes a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you smoke, you\u2019ll need to stop before and after implant\nplacement because the tobacco can disrupt the healing process. Also, let your\ndentist in Greenfield know about any problems you have with grinding or\nclenching beforehand as these actions can disrupt the implant\u2019s ability to\nintegrate with the jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Keep Brushing and Flossing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can continue your normal oral hygiene routine after\ngetting implants. There are, however, a few additional considerations you might\nwant to make:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use a soft-bristled toothbrush so as not to\nscratch the restoration. (This is also recommended for your natural teeth, as\nhard bristles can damage the enamel.)<\/li><li>Avoid whitening toothpastes and similar products\nthat contain abrasives.<\/li><li>Look for dental floss that\u2019s coated with nylon\nor is otherwise designed to be used with implants.<\/li><li>Mouthwash can be a great way to reduce bacteria\nin hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Use one that doesn\u2019t list alcohol as an\ningredient.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Visit Your Dentist Regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Preventive checkups are especially important with dental\nimplants. Not only will your dentist provide their regular thorough cleaning,\nbut they\u2019ll also be able to assess your implant and make sure the surrounding\narea is healthy. It\u2019s usually recommended to see the dentist at least twice a\nyear, although some patients might require more frequent visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Be Aware of Potential Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your implant is loose, or you\u2019re noticing pain or\nbleeding around the area, it could be the sign that it\u2019s failing In some cases,\nsteps can be taken to save it, so schedule an appointment as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist may have additional care instructions or\nrecommendations. Make sure to ask questions before and after the procedure; be\nproactive in making sure that you continue to enjoy your implants for years to\ncome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Advanced Dental Treatment Center, Drs.
