∙ 9y agoDo not rinse mouth for 24 hours after surgery. After 24 hours rinse mouth with warm, salted water which should continue for 3 to 4 days, every 3 to 4 hours. You also should not spit, use a straw or brush your teeth with toothpaste for the first 24 hours.

The routine care and maintenance of dental implants is the same as the care of your natural teeth. When caring for your dental implants, it is crucial to maintain healthy gum tissue and the supporting jaw bone. Smile Dental Group of East Palmdale, CA wants you to be educated about how best to care for your dental implants because, if properly cared for, they can last a lifetime.
CAN DENTAL IMPLANTS GET INFECTED?
Because dental implants are artificial with roots comprised of titanium and a ceramic crown, it is impossible for the implant itself to suffer from decay and develop a cavity or for the “tooth” to become infected. However, the life of the dental implant can be jeopardized when the gum tissue around the implant becomes inflamed due to infection, a condition known as implantitis. Implantitis affects the soft and hard tissues (bone) surrounding dental implants.
When they are inflamed, dental implants can accumulate the same plaque and destructive bacteria that cause periodontal infections in natural teeth and, if left undisturbed, can harden, forming dental calculus. Calculus, also known as tartar, is a rough hard deposit that can eat away at the supporting gum and bone tissues that hold the implant in place in the jaw.
Once calculus has established itself, brushing and flossing alone cannot remove it. It can only be removed by a dental hygienist using special tools. Neglecting to see your Smile Dental Group for treatment of this condition can lead to receding gum tissue and bone loss and may result in the implant becoming loose and falling out.
HOW TO KEEP DENTAL IMPLANTS HEALTHY
To avoid calculus forming or gums becoming infected, dental implants should be kept clean and plaque free by brushing twice a day and flossing — the same as is recommended for your natural teeth by your Smile Dental Group dentist. Cleaning your teeth and gums after meals is especially important. An ADA-approved toothbrush should be used for this to ensure it’s done properly and will not damage the implant and your surrounding teeth or gums.
Your Smile Dental Group dentist advises using the following:
Small, soft, ADA-approved manual toothbrush or an electric brush
Low-abrasive, tartar-control toothpaste
Dental floss for cleaning around the implant
Antimicrobial mouth rinses
Not only should you be sure to perform dental hygiene at home on a routine basis, but you must also schedule regular visits to Smile Dental Group. It is also strongly suggested you have a professional exam and cleaning every 3-6 months and have your dental implants examined by x-ray annually to check for structural problems.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T TAKE CARE OF MY IMPLANTS?
Implants can develop significant issues without conscientious daily care. Bleeding from the implant site — known as mucositis — is usually the first indication of a problem. The current research suggests that mucositis may be successfully treated and reversed if seen and treated early enough. Unfortunately, if the condition worsens to the point of bone loss, also known as peri-implantitis, it is not reversible. If peri-implantitis is left untreated it can lead to advanced bone loss and the implant may become loose in the jaw or even fall out.
WHAT SHOULD MY DENTIST CHECK FOR AT EVERY CLEANING?
Your Smile Dental Group hygienist needs to probe and measure the gums around the implant the same as they do around your natural teeth and check and compare x-rays annually, looking for looseness, and ensuring that the bite and all of the components of the implant are still attached and functioning properly.

If you have to have an upper front tooth extracted how will the dentist put in a one tooth denture?
It would be what they call a flipper, more like a retainer with a tooth. However, it's not a permanent solution. Most dentists would recommend that a patient get a dental implant in place of an upper front tooth. An implant helps to retain the bone in the area where the roots were.

Why should you brush your teeth for two minutes?
The floride in the tooth paste takes that long to react or harden the surface of the tooth. The rest if the time is useful in cleaning the teeth, but to really clean the area between the teeth use a dental irrigator.
How much does a dental bridge for one tooth cost?
800-1500, depending in location and geographical location of the lab that makes the bridge. I had a 5 unit (3 abuntment, which is anchoring teeth, and 2 false teeth) bridge installed back in 2006 and mine cost ~$700 per tooth. When all was said and done I think mine cost around $3600. I'm sure prices have gone up. Remember though, that even with one tooth, they have to use a tooth on both sides to anchor it. It's the same concept as a bridge on the road. You have land on two sides followed by the bridge. I would expect at least $2000. The best thing to do is call several dentists in the area and explain what to need and just ask for an estimate so you will have a general idea.
What should I do if I have a broken tooth?
If you experience a broken tooth, it is important to take immediate action. First, rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. If there is any bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze. To reduce swelling and alleviate pain, apply a cold compress to the affected area. It is crucial to seek professional dental care as soon as possible. Contact Paragon Dental Clinic - emergency dental clinic in Modesto, California, for prompt treatment on how to proceed with a broken tooth.
