Thankfully, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosemeadedental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> are the ideal form of tooth replacement because they look, work, and feel just like the real thing. While implants are strong, they are not invincible and can fail if exposed to too much stress or if they are not properly cared for. Here\u2019s how to protect your dental implants from failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step One: Practice Excellent Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Proper oral hygiene habits are your first line of defense against destructive oral infections that can compromise your dental implants. Every day, be sure to stick to a regimen that includes the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Brushing:<\/strong> It\u2019s best to brush your teeth at least twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, with a soft-bristled brush. Abrasive toothpaste can scratch dental implants, so it\u2019s a great idea to stick to a gel-type variety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flossing:<\/strong> Floss at least once a day to eliminate plaque and food debris from the tight spaces in your smile where a toothbrush cannot reach. Take special care not to press the thread too deep against your implants since this can damage the gums supporting them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Antibacterial mouthwash:<\/strong> Use this daily to kill massive numbers of harmful oral bacteria and keep your breath minty fresh.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step Two: Regular Dental Visits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular exams and cleanings at your dentist\u2019s office are still crucial even if you have replaced all your teeth with dental implants. These appointments allow your oral health professional to thoroughly clean even the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth and detect any issues early so they can be treated before any major damage happens. They\u2019ll also be sure to evaluate the health of your implants and advise you as to how to improve your oral hygiene habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step Three: Protect Your Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oral injuries can break dental restorations or even dislodge implants from the jawbone. To prevent this, be sure to wear a mouthguard when playing sports or riding a bike. It\u2019s also important to refrain from using your mouth to open packages or bottles, as this can severely damage your implants and natural teeth alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let your implants fail due to preventable causes. Consulting with your dentist can help you find the best ways to keep your restored teeth in excellent shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Tarangini Suggala earned her dental degree at the Boston University Henry M.
