Dental implants
Hello there , it's been 50 days since I had bone grafting and Implants in my premaxilla after I met with an accident in September .
Please clear all the clouds above my head .
1) what makes an implant unsuccessful ?
2) i keep my mouth hygiene by using mouthwash after every meal ...but i have the habbit if eating snacks between meals
Is it really important to put mouthwash after everything I eat or any other way ?
3) what makes an implant successful and strong ?
I am sure you have been informed about the restrictions on smoking, if you are a non smoker than your better placed. Long term success of an implant depends on periodic recall visit with your dentist for routine checkup’s and scaling, it’s just like your normal tooth.
Next Steps
Having snacks and meals is not a restriction, but maintaining a meticulous oral hygiene is mandatory either be it a mouthwash or even brushing. Mouthwash can be used twice daily initially in the maintenance phase and gradually only in the night
Health Tips
Considering your age and no medical ailments, Implants would definitely last a life time, if the above advice is followed strictly. There no medicines to make it strong other then visiting your dentist once in 6 months
