What care should be taken after the implant?

Dental implant is one of the most effective methods of replacing lost teeth. But the final success of this treatment depends to a large extent on post-surgical care. Strictly following the dentist's recommendations not only makes for a faster recovery, but also prevents complications such as infection, bleeding, and implant rejection. does.

In this case, the question arises as to what is the appropriate implant. Who is it? We must say that dental implants are suitable for people who have lost one or more teeth, have good general health, have enough jawbone to hold the implant, and take good care of oral and dental hygiene. And of course one of The best It is a teeth correction method that gives you a beautiful smile and regular teeth

  1. Bleeding control

The first recommendation after the implant is that after the end of the surgery, it is necessary to put sterile gauze on the surgical area and apply gentle pressure to it for 30 to 60 minutes. Bleeding may continue for up to 24 hours, which is normal. But if the bleeding is heavy or continuous, call your doctor immediately.

  1. Pain and swelling control

After implant surgery, pain and swelling in the operated area is normal.

  • Using a cold compress on the cheek (once every 20 minutes, with intervals) helps to reduce swelling.
  • Take pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen as prescribed.
  • Swelling usually peaks on the second day and decreases from the third day onwards.
  1. Oral hygiene

Maintaining oral hygiene in the post-implant period is very important, but should be done with caution:

  • Avoid washing your mouth on the first day.
  • Starting on the second day, rinse your mouth with a diluted saline solution or a prescribed mouthwash (such as chlorhexidine 0.12%), but do not gargle vigorously.
  • Clean around the implant with a soft toothbrush and gentle movements. It is safe to use dental floss in areas far from the surgical site, but it should be done with caution.
  1. Avoid harmful activities

  • Avoid heavy activities, vigorous exercise, bending or lifting heavy objects for a few days after surgery.
  • Cigarettes and alcohol have a negative effect on the healing process and can cause implant failure. Their consumption is prohibited for at least the first 2 weeks.

  1. Avoid touching the surgical site

As much as possible, avoid touching the implant site with your tongue, fingers or foreign objects. This may put pressure on the wound or cause contamination and infection.

  1. Professional flossing and toothbrush for implants

After complete recovery, it is very important to use interdental toothbrushes for implants and dental floss for implanted areas so that plaque and bacteria do not accumulate around it.

Foods suitable for after implants

Next What should we eat from the implant? Proper nutrition and recommendations after the dental implant play a very important role in the healing process, preventing infection and the long-term success of the implant. We have discussed them below:

Soft and cool foods (for the first 24 to 72 hours)

  • Mashed potatoes
  • Soft and lukewarm soups (not hot!)
  • Plain or flavored yogurt
  • Smoothie or banana milk
  • Soft-boiled or half-boiled eggs
  • Harireh, porridge, or rice milk
  • Mashed banana, ripe avocado
  • jelly, pudding, ice cream without kernels or hard pieces
  • Soft white cheese
  • Non-carbonated drinks, milk, thin buttermilk

Nutrients for fast repair

Proteins: Chicken, eggs, soft cooked lentils

Vitamin: C, natural orange juice (not acidic), kiwi, strawberry puree

Zinc and iron: cooked spinach, nuts (ground or in a smoothie)

What foods are prohibited or inappropriate after the implant?

For post-implant care, you should avoid foods that may cause pressure, damage, irritation or contamination for a few weeks. In the following, we have mentioned these types of food:

Hard and chewy foods

  • Toast, dry biscuits, chips
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Hard and grilled meats
  • Raw and hard vegetables such as carrots or celery

sticky or stretchy foods

  • Gum, chewing gum, pastille, toffee
  • very stretchy or fatty cheeses

Very hot foods and drinks

  • Coffee, tea or hot soups
  • Anything with high heat, because it can break the blood clot and irritate the wound

Spicy, acidic or salty foods

Because taking care after the implant is the key to the success and longevity of this treatment. If you don't follow the doctor's recommendations, you may face complications such as infection, bleeding, severe pain, or even implant rejection.
