You should brush twice a day, following the same technique that you would when you have natural teeth. You should also floss once a day, preferably in the evening after you have finished eating for the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15273\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2022-05-25-at-2.52.01-PM-900x338.png\" alt=\"tooth brushing technique right\" width=\"607\" height=\"228\" title=\"\">\r\n<figcaption>How to brush<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to brushing and flossing, you can use an anti-bacterial mouthwash. Be sure to choose a mouthwash that is alcohol-free and has anti-bacterial properties. This will help keep your mouth free of bacteria, which can cause cavities and gum disease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-not-do-these-after-mini-dental-implants\">Do not do these after mini dental implants<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Do not chew ice. Avoid sticky food such as cold bread, chewing gum, naan, chocolates, supan, chikku etc.<\/li>\r\n<li>Make sure you are not GRINDING your teeth at night.

The force can crack the bonding\/bridge. Don&#8217;t pick at a newly bonded\/fixed tooth with your fingernail or toothpick.

This will also help prevent cavities and gum disease by removing any food debris that can cause decay and bacterial growth. You can make a saltwater rinse by mixing half a teaspoon of salt with one cup of warm water.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"338\" class=\"wp-image-15274\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screenshot-2022-05-25-at-2.51.42-PM-900x338.png\" alt=\"probiotic rinse wash\" title=\"\">\r\n<figcaption>Probiotic Rinse<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-the-correct-oral-care-products\">Use the correct oral care products<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proper <a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/dental-hygiene-is-gum-recession-permanent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dental hygiene <\/a>products are a must when caring for your mini dental implants. You should be sure to use fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash daily. Be sure to choose a toothpaste and mouthwash that is anti-bacterial and free of alcohol. You should also choose toothbrushes that are soft, have a small head, and are anti-bacterial as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\r\n<p><div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"Correct Technique of Brushing Your Teeth | Oral Hygiene Step-by-Step\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/owoEczzhCq4?start=205&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should replace your toothbrush every three months to ensure that you are removing the correct amount of bacteria. When it comes to flossing, be sure that you use the correct amount of pressure when pulling the floss through your teeth. You should place the floss between two teeth and gently slide it towards the gum line. It is important not to snap the floss through your teeth as this can lead to gum disease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-bite-down-on-your-mini-dental-implants\">Don\u2019t bite down on your mini dental implants<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you first have your dental implants placed, you\u2019ll have to be careful not to bite down on them. This is because the gums will be healing around the implant and could break open if put under pressure. It\u2019s recommended that you don\u2019t eat crunchy or hard foods while you\u2019re healing. This will help decrease the risk of the implant being put under pressure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" style=\"border-radius: 2px; background-color: #ba0c49; color: #fffffa;\" href=\"tel:+919820446633\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color\" style=\"border-radius: 2px; color: #ba0c49;\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=5%20foods%20that%20make%20your%20kids%20teeth%20stronger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should also be careful when cleaning your teeth so as to not come in contact with the implant. If you\u2019re eating something that you know is hard to chew, you should cut it into smaller pieces. This will make it easier for you to chew and will put less pressure on your implant. Be careful not to cut it too small as this can lead to food getting stuck in your teeth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-avoid-smoking-and-drinking-alcohol\">Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you have mini dental implants, you should avoid smoking and drinking alcohol as much as possible. Smoking can lead to gum disease and decay around the implants. This can also cause the gums to recede, which puts the implant at risk of failure. Drinking alcohol can also lead to gum disease and decay around the implants. It can also cause the gums to recede as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14466\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/17-1-510x358.jpg\" alt=\"implant surgery in one day\" width=\"406\" height=\"284\" title=\"\">\r\n<figcaption>Tooth Implantation with mini implants in to recessed jaw bone: Medically accurate 3D illustration<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have mini dental implants, it\u2019s important to avoid smoking and drinking as much as possible. Doing so will help decrease the risk of gum disease and decay around the implants. It will also help keep the teeth healthy and the gums protected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-take-a-break-from-food-that-s-hard-to-chew\">Take a break from food that\u2019s hard to chew<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first few months after your dental implants are placed, you should take a break from hard foods that are difficult to chew. This will help protect your gums and dental implant from getting injured. It\u2019s also important that you\u2019re careful when chewing on your regular teeth too as this can put pressure on the implants and cause them to shift out of place. As your gums begin to heal, you can start eating some of those hard foods again. Be sure to avoid chewing on your implant teeth though. Try eating foods that are softer and easier to chew such as soup, yogurt, mashed potatoes, and applesauce.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\r\n<p><div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"Why Are Your Teeth Sensitive to Hot Food? | Best Dentist in Mumbai | Explain Causes &amp; Remedies\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hj43fDV6Nsc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stay-informed-of-any-changes-you-need-to-make\">Stay informed of any changes you need to make<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the years go by, you may find that you need to have adjustments made to your mini dental implants. This may be because your bone has decreased in density over time, or your bite has shifted and altered the position of your implant. You may also find that as you age, your teeth have shifted and moved away from where they originally were. If you feel that your implant is too far back on your gum, is too close to your other teeth or you simply need the placement to be adjusted, you can schedule an appointment with your dentist. They\u2019ll be able to assess your current situation and determine what the best course of action is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background\" style=\"border-radius: 2px; background-color: #ba0c49; color: #fffffa;\" href=\"tel:+919820446633\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color\" style=\"border-radius: 2px; color: #ba0c49;\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=5%20foods%20that%20make%20your%20kids%20teeth%20stronger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summing-up\">Summing up<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mini dental implants are a great solution for missing teeth.
