That much is natural \u2013 the prosthetics use sturdy titanium, resist stains, and don\u2019t get cavities. Still, your new restorations could fail if you aren\u2019t careful. You\u2019d then have to get potentially expensive replacements for them. Thankfully, you have the power to prevent that outcome. Your local dentist can even help out. To that end, remember these four bad habits to avoid with dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Tobacco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may already know that tobacco products aren\u2019t good for you. They cause cancer, heart disease, strokes, and other life-threatening issues. Well, it so happens that they also aren\u2019t good for implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, tobacco damages your oral tissues. This harm slows your recovery from implant surgery, leaving your mouth vulnerable to gum disease. Should you contract the latter, you\u2019ll be at greater risk of implant failure. A gum infection would erode bone tissue your implants need for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High-Sugar Eating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, implants do let you eat normally again. (By fusing with your jaw, they restore much of your bite force.) That said, you\u2019d be wise to limit your intake of sugary foods in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implants may be cavity-proof, but they\u2019re still vulnerable to sugar. Overeating this carb will cause bacterial growth, which can lead to gum disease. From there, you might develop peri-implantitis \u2013 a condition that breaks down the tissue around your implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chewing Hard Objects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For various reasons, many people tend to bite on hard things. You yourself might chew on your fingernails, ice cubes, or the occasional pen. Unfortunately, this common habit is awful for implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While durable, an implant can\u2019t withstand everything. It\u2019ll inevitably chip, break, or loosen if exposed to enough force. As such, chewing on a tough object could cause it to fail over time. That means you should pay attention to what goes in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skipping Dental Checkups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Be honest: Do you sometimes skip dental checkups? You wouldn\u2019t be the only one \u2013 plenty of patients don\u2019t attend these crucial visits. If you\u2019re a \u201cskipper,\u201d though, there\u2019s something you ought to know: the tendency puts your implants at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be clear, dental checkups are a form of preventive oral care. They let dentists detect and treat mouth issues before things worsen. By skipping them, you\u2019re giving oral problems the chance to threaten your implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing the bad habits to avoid with dental implants makes your new smile safer. So, memorize them so you\u2019ll keep them at arm\u2019s length!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.completedentalcareofcovington.com\/\">Complete Dental Care of Covington<\/a><\/u><\/em><em> is based in Covington, WA.
