Now that your implants have seamlessly integrated with your jawbone, it's crucial to prioritize proper care to maintain their longevity and functionality. Here's a brief guide on how to care for your dental implant-supported teeth: Routine Dental Hygiene: Treat your implants like natural teeth by adhering to a regular oral hygiene routine. Brush at least twice daily. Don't forget to floss between your implants and natural teeth to remove plaque and debris. Biannual Dental Visits: Schedule check-ups with your dentist every six months. These routine visits allow your dentist to assess the health of your implants, gums, and surrounding teeth. While adjustments or tightening may occasionally be necessary, it's not a frequent occurrence. Mindful Eating Habits: Enjoy your favorite foods with confidence, knowing that your dental implants can withstand normal chewing forces. However, it's wise to avoid very hard or sticky foods that may exert excessive pressure on your

Dentures, also known as false teeth, are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth; they are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional dentures are removable (removable partial denture or complete denture). However, there are many different denture designs, some of which rely on bonding or clasping onto teeth or dental implants (fixed prosthodontics). There are two main categories of dentures, the distinction being whether they are used to replace missing teeth on the mandibular arch or the maxillary arch.

Before getting up and driving home, wait for the anesthesia to wear out completely. You can use cold packs or press on dry gauze pads to stop it. Avoid hot drinks for a while, and do not eat until anesthesia has worn off completely. In the next two days avoid strenuous movements. A little bit of swelling is also normal and will at its peak in about two days. A little bit of warmth applied to the cheeks will help reduce it. Slight pain is quite normal after surgery. Keep the mouth as clean as possible. Continue using the mouth wash for at least a weak, and every time try to hold the liquid over the site of surgery for some time. Mouth rinses with warm saline water will also aid quick relief from swelling and pain. Resume your daily brushing, but avoid the surgery sites until properly cured. While eating avoid

A dental prosthesis is an intraoral (inside the mouth) prosthesis used to restore (reconstruct) intraoral defects such as missing teeth, missing parts of teeth, and missing soft or hard structures of the jaw and palate. Prosthodontics is the dental specialty that focuses on dental prostheses. Such prostheses are used to rehabilitate mastication (chewing), improve aesthetics, and aid speech. A dental prosthesis may be held in place by connecting to teeth or dental implants, by suction, or by being held passively by surrounding muscles. Like other types of prostheses, they can either be fixed permanently or removable; fixed prosthodontics and removable dentures are made in many variations. Permanently fixed dental prostheses use dental adhesive or screws, to attach to teeth or dental implants. Removal prostheses may use friction against parallel hard surfaces and undercuts of adjacent teeth or dental implants, suction using the mucous retention (without or without aid from denture ad

(IUPAC name: sodium hydrogen carbonate) is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline but often appears as a fine powder. It has a slightly salty, alkaline taste resembling that of washing soda (sodium carbonate). The natural mineral form is nahcolite. It is a component of the mineral natron and is found dissolved in many mineral springs . Since it has long been known and is widely used, the salt has many related names such as baking soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate of soda.
