I was born with missing permanent teeth, so I chose to use dental implants to fill the missing teeth, and it has been more than three years since the implants were installed and I started using them!After wearing the dental implant, it feels the same as my original teeth, there is no foreign body sensation, and the bone healing is better. However, my dentist reminded me that dental implants are never real teeth and need to be protected to prolong the life of dental implants. Therefore, I still pay a lot of attention to oral care after dental implants, and I happen to be free today, I would like to share my oral care experience in dental implants, hoping to help you.
1. After dental implants, you should pay attention to whether you have the problem of teeth grinding, because the damage of teeth grinding to tooth enamel is very serious, and the tooth enamel is grinding thinner and thinner, which is prone to problems such as tooth decay and tooth sensitivity, and teeth grinding will also wear out dental implants, affecting the service life of dental implants.
2. When cleaning around the implant pile, you should control your cleaning strength, if the cleaning force is too heavy, it may damage the oral soft tissue around the implant, causing problems such as gum inflammation and bleeding, and affecting the effect of dental implants.
3. Plaque and calculus may also breed on the surface of dental implants, so it is recommended that dental implant people clean their teeth regularly, which can completely remove the most advanced elements such as plaque and calculus to maintain the health of dental implants.
4. People with dental implants should use a toothbrush with a bristle roundness of more than 80%, which means that the tip of the bristles is very rough and sharp, which is easy to scratch everyone's gums and wear the teeth and gums when used.
5. After dental implants, it is best not to eat foods with high sugar and acid content, as such foods may corrode the surface of dental implants and gradually lead to dental implant damage
6. Before wearing the dental implant crown, it is necessary to keep the implant foundation pile smooth, so you can't scratch the foundation pile with a hard object because of a momentary curiosity, and don't avoid eating food with excellent texture to avoid wearing out the implant foundation pile.
7. After doing dental implants, you should pay attention to your brushing method, if the way of brushing your teeth is not appropriate, it is easy to hurt your teeth when you use it, and you can't clean your teeth.
8. After the installation of dental implants, do not use this tooth to chew food that is too hard, otherwise it is easy to cause excessive fatigue of dental implant metal and shorten the service life of dental implants.
9. Within a week after dental implants, you should try to avoid flying, strenuous exercise, and keep resting to avoid rupture and bleeding from wounds that have not healed.
10. The service life of the toothbrush is limited, it is recommended that you replace it every three months, otherwise the toothbrush bristles will be depreciated and fried, not only the cleaning power will decline, but it is easy to scratch the gums and wear the teeth, which will cause problems such as bleeding gums and sore teeth.
11. Before the crown of the dental implant is installed, it is not advisable to use too strong oral cleaning tools such as oral irrigators and electric toothbrushes to avoid loosening the screws of the dental implant.
12. Friends who have done dental implants should try to eat less sweets, because sweets will accelerate the growth of plaque, erode implants and natural teeth, and dental implants may be damaged after a long time.
13. It is recommended that you do regular re-examination after dental implants, and the frequency of oral health examinations after dental implant surgery is 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months, and it is enough to check two to three times a year in the follow-up, so that you can find the abnormalities of dental implants in time.
14. The dentist recommended that I use an electric toothbrush and a dental irrigator to clean my teeth after the dental implant, because the cleaning power of the manual toothbrush is relatively poor, and the brushing strength is subjectively controlled, and it is easy to have blind spots that are not cleaned properly. The cleaning power of the electric toothbrush and the oral irrigator is far better than that of the manual toothbrush, which can clean the blind spots that the manual toothbrush cannot handle, such as the back of the teeth, the gingival sulcus, the gap between the teeth and other areas with a high incidence of dental diseaseThoroughly cleans the plaque in the mouth, prevents and improves oral diseases, and saves time and effort, and can also whiten teeth and freshen breath!
As shown in the figure below, more than 90% of people have oral diseases, and it is difficult to meet the oral care needs of dental implant people with manual toothbrushes, so dentists recommend that you use electric toothbrushes and oral irrigators.
When purchasing, you must pay attention to the fact that many brands will also have the risk of tooth injury!Try to choose a professional brand with uniform vibration, large frequency span, and no tooth damageThe more recommended ones are Philips, Jiebi and Huile, but Philips and Jiebi are too strong and not suitable for people with dental implants.
In terms of technology and professionalism, it is recognized that FILIX is a veteran brand of professional technology, and as the originator of the domestic "tooth-free" field, it is the best brand in this field. It is a very rare old brand in electric toothbrushes with a medical background and strict medical research and development standards!It has launched the third generation of upgraded new products, pioneering research and development of eight major properties and toothless black technology, top-notch cleaning power and 89% reduction of damage, and rare EU certification!It is also the first brand in the industry to offer orthodontic brush heads. It doesn't engage in bells and whistles, no redundant models, has been stubbornly knocking on a product for many years, upgraded and iterated more than 20 times, never advertised, relying on dentist recommendations to become popular, and sales in offline channels have skyrocketed!
15. It is also necessary to use fluoride toothpaste, which can help you better prevent tooth decayFor example, Crest, Colgate, etc.
16. After dental implants, it is not recommended to use whitening dental patches, teeth whitening instruments, whitening toothpaste and other products, which are generally added with peroxide or dye, which are easy to erode teeth and affect the service life of dental implants
17. It is recommended that dental implant people use dental floss, which can be targeted for cleaning between the teeth and gingival sulcus, comprehensively removing the stains and tartar in the gaps between the teeth, and avoiding the problem of caries on the adjacent surfaceFloss can be usedWatsons, Little Dewn's mother's house
18. It is not recommended to use mouthwash, because chemical substances such as bacteriostatic agents, dyes, preservatives, and pigments are generally added to mouthwash, and frequent use is harmful to oral health, which may destroy the balance of flora in the mouth and induce oral problems.
Dental implants are not invincible, and they also need the right oral care methods to protect their health and prolong the service life of dental implants, so I hope that everyone can pay attention to oral care after dental implants to make the oral cavity more and more healthy.
