Can I eat anything after a dental implant?

Can I eat anything after a dental implant? Can dental implants gnaw bones? With the development of medical technology, people no longer worry about missing teeth.

Many patients no longer choose the traditional dental prosthesis method to replace the missing teeth, but a more aesthetically pleasing and healthy dental implant instead. Dental implant technology is a new technology for the restoration of missing dentition that has emerged at home and abroad in recent years, that is, an artificial titanium root is implanted in the gum of the missing tooth, combined with the surrounding bone tissue, and then a denture is installed. It is increasingly favored because of its stability, aesthetics, non-damage to adjacent teeth, and minimal surgical trauma.

Can you gnaw bones with dental implants?

Once the teeth are "planted" and lived, some people think that everything is fine, gnaw bones, bite sugar cane, eat everything, and do not pay attention to elegant hygiene. If this happens, the crown of the dental implant may be cracked or damaged, resulting in the death of the implant. In fact, after the dental implant is "planted", it still needs careful care.

Dental implants should be allowed to assume the chewing function reasonably to prevent excessive force. There are some foods that cannot be chewed, such as bones, hard beans, jerky, etc., patients should strictly follow the doctor's advice, and at the same time, it is best not to smoke, because smoking will increase the incidence of tissue inflammation around dental implants. At the same time, you should also ask the doctor to check whether the connection part of the dental implant is loose, whether the occlusion between the dental implant and the natural tooth is not coordinated, and if any abnormalities are found, the doctor can correct it in time.

Can I eat anything after a dental implant?

According to Yaliang experts, although dental implants are similar to natural teeth in structure, their physiological basis is not the same. Natural teeth are held in place in the socket by means of periodontal ligaments, while the implants are in direct contact with the bone tissue. Therefore, the lack of receptor-rich periodontal ligaments around the dental implant will dull its sensation, and it will be difficult to make a timely neurofeedback protective response when the dental implant is overstressed, resulting in excessive load on the implant, causing resorption of the surrounding bone tissue and endangering the service life of the implant.

In addition, the periodontal ligament of the natural tooth has a buffering effect on the stress, which can reduce the force on the natural tooth root, while the force on the implant is transmitted to the implant without any loss, and is generally supported by the implant alone. Therefore, in order to prolong the "service life" of the implant, you should try to avoid eating hard foods after the implant restoration.

It's not like you can eat everything, you can't smoke, it's better to pay attention to things that are too hard, even if the real teeth bite too hard, it's easy to collapse, even if the dental implant is good, it's always fake in the final analysis, so it's better to use it leisurely, but it doesn't matter if you eat normally.

Don't eat acidic foods, pay attention to oral hygiene, rinse your mouth in a timely manner, don't eat too hard food, don't drink alcohol and smoke, brush your teeth frequently, and go to the hospital regularly for inspection.

What are the precautions after dental implants?

1.Keep the mouth clean and hygienic: After dental implants, patients should keep their mouths clean and hygienic, rinse their mouths regularly every day, and avoid food debris multiplying in the mouth, which may cause infection in severe cases, which is not conducive to dental health.

Use with a dental irrigator. Generally, the sutures need to be removed about a week after the operation, and the patient should be rechecked regularly after the dental implant, and the condition of the dental implant should be observed at any time.

2.Be sure to bite the gauze of the wound and wait about 30 minutes after surgery. Also, don't eat it right away.

After 24 hours, only liquid food can be eaten. Take your rest and don't do strenuous exercise. To prevent wound infection, a certain amount of medication can be taken orally.

Maintain oral hygiene in daily life and rinse your mouth after meals to prevent the accumulation of food debris. Generally, you can go to the hospital to remove the stitches in about 7-10 hours, during which the wound should be moist and clean. Some people have a swollen face after surgery.

At this time, it is recommended to choose ice cubes to apply a cold compress to the face. Note that a single cold compress should not be too long to prevent frostbite. There is no improvement so far.

It is recommended to choose a hot compress after 48 hours, and you can cooperate with the doctor to choose medication later.

3.After tooth implantation, the periodontal of the implanted tooth should be kept clean and healthy to prevent plaque formation. Because the periodontal tissue of dental implants is prone to periodontitis, which is caused by plaque, it is very important to control oral hygiene with long-term use of implants.

Dental implants are made of titanium with excellent biological safety, which can be perfectly combined with alveolar bone, without any harm and rejection to the human body, and will not affect the examination of MRI and other instruments. After "dental implantation", you need to go to a specialist hospital for regular follow-up visits to remove plaque and calculus that cannot be removed by conventional brushing in time. At the same time, it is necessary to ask the doctor to check whether the connection part of the dental implant is loose and whether the dental implant and the natural tooth are not in harmony.
