Posted by Shreyas Dental Hospital on March 18th, 2021
Why do we need dental implants?
Basal Implants in India are durable and restore the missing tooth. Dental implants consist of three parts- the post, abutment, and the prosthesis. The reasons why you need a dental implant are:
- Loss of a tooth or entire teeth
- Acute tooth decay
- There is no scope for dentures
- To restore and preserve your teeth and smile
- To protect healthy gums and bone
The dentist successfully does basal implants in Ahmedabad, but it isn't easy to restore your dental appearance if they are not properly maintained. Here are some of the tips to be followed to clean your implants and maintain hygiene:
Keep flossing
Even if you do flossing, it becomes even more critical after having a dental implant. Plaque starts accumulating around the implants that can affect oral hygiene. Flossing helps flush the germs from the oral cavity. There are multiple flossers available in the market specially designed for implants.
Reduce intake of sticky foods
Avoid consumption of hard or sticky foods such as dry fruits, candies, nuts, caramel, etc. This would not help in maintaining clean dental implants. Visit the dental clinic in Ahmedabad if you are unable to remove the sticky substance from the implants.
Soft bristle toothbrush
A soft bristle toothbrush can be gentle on the implants. These cannot hurt the gums, which in return helps remove deposition and maintain dental implant hygiene.
Prevent abrasive products
A low abrasive toothpaste and mouthwash can cause a lot of damage and discomfort.
Stop smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages
Smoking affects our oral hygiene and also our immune system. It slows down the healing process of the implants and causes impact even on the other natural teeth.
A regular visit to the dentist in Ahmedabad
Seek a dentist in Ahmedabad who can help you in keeping your dental implant hygiene. Sometimes it is difficult to clean the implants on your own, so regular dental visits after implant placement can help maintain clean and hygienic oral health.
