For example, it\u2019s normal for gums to be a little swollen or irritated in the first 48 hours after getting dental implants, but after that, the pain and swelling should start to subside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10951 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Zirconia-vs-Titanium-Implants.001-900x675.jpeg\" alt=\"Aluminium dental implants\" width=\"427\" height=\"318\" title=\"\">\r\n<figcaption>mini dental implant<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you experience pain, sensitivity, or bleeding that lasts longer than a few days, you should contact your dentist. The most challenging part of the recovery process is when the <a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/do-gums-grow-back-on-the-dental-crown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gums<\/a> are healing and there isn\u2019t a tooth attached to the implant yet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stiffness-and-swelling-after-tooth-implant\"><strong>Stiffness and swelling after tooth implant<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you first receive dental implants, you will likely experience some stiffness and swelling. This is normal and should subside within a few weeks. In fact, you may notice that your jaw feels heavier and more swollen as the swelling starts to go down.<\/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=\"Understanding Neck Swelling Causes | Oral Health Insights - Ep 6 | Dr. Chirag Chamria\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fs_4B_HDfrw?start=7&#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\">During your recovery, it\u2019s important to be gentle with your mouth, especially in the first few weeks. Avoid chewing on the area where your implants are being installed and try to keep your head upright while you sleep. If you need to lean over, try to keep your mouth closed or slightly open.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dental-implant-eating-restrictions\"><strong>Dental implant eating restrictions<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re getting tooth implants, it\u2019s important to know that you will probably have some eating restrictions during the healing process. <a href=\"http:\/\/chiragchamria.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dentists<\/a> recommend avoiding hard foods and very fibrous foods such as celery, raw carrots, and nuts (though some people can eat nuts with their implants).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20390 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screenshot-2022-06-10-at-10.54.09-AM-900x526.png\" alt=\"good food to eat for oral health\" width=\"483\" height=\"281\" title=\"\">\r\n<figcaption>Habit<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, you should also avoid extremely hot or cold foods and drinks. It\u2019s not necessary to avoid chewing completely, but it\u2019s important to be gentle when you do. If you have discomfort, you can chew more with the side of your mouth that does not have dental implants installed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dental-implant-discomfort\"><strong>Dental implant discomfort?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While dental implants may offer a more permanent option for replacing missing teeth, they\u2019re not without their challenges. Because your gums are healing around the implants, you may experience some discomfort. There are a few things you can do to manage the discomfort.<\/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=\"Are Dental Implants Painful?

As your gums heal, they will shrink and become less sensitive. You can also try using warm saltwater mouthwash to reduce swelling, take over-the-counter pain medication as prescribed by your dentist, and avoid activities that put a lot of pressure on your mouth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Should I be able to feel dental implants?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your dental implant is done correctly, you wouldn&#8217;t even be conscious of having an implant.\u00a0It should never, at any given time, feel like a foreign body in your mouth. If the implant is not properly seated on your gums, you will feel it wobble when you talk, eat, or touch it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17761\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Missing-Teeth-to-Fixed-Teeth.....jpg\" alt=\"Fixed teeth no missing teeth\" width=\"611\" height=\"321\" title=\"\">\r\n<figcaption>fixed teeth vs removable<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long until a tooth implant feels normal?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After about\u00a02-3 days, the area around your implant will be completely healed. You should feel no serious pain or discomfort, and there will be no bleeding and little to no swelling or bruising around the area. After 2-3 weeks you can resume strenuous physical activities like running and resume your normal diet.<\/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<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting dental implants can be a great option for replacing missing teeth. While they\u2019re not a quick fix, they can last a lifetime and offer a more permanent solution than other tooth replacement methods. Dental implants take a long time to heal, but they are worth the wait. You can expect to feel achy and sensitive during the healing process, but that should subside as your gums heal around the implants. While dental implants aren\u2019t perfect for everyone, they can be a great option for replacing missing teeth and should last a lifetime.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-map qubely-block-099e01\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Royal%20Dental%20Clinic%20%7C%20Same%20Day%20Dental%20Implant%20%26%20Cosmetic%20Treatment%2C%20Kandivali%20Thakur%20Complex%2C%20V%20Mall%2C%20Western%20Express%20Hwy%2C%20Kandivali%20East%2C%20Mumbai%2C%20Maharashtra%20400101&amp;t=&amp;z=16&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;iwloc=&amp;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"350px\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you have a rotten tooth, it\u2019s easy to assume something must be done right away.
