Being careful where something of value is concerned is so important in life. You know there\u2019s someone out there who had a big house full of valuables but went on vacation without locking their front door and was subsequently robbed. While unfortunate, this hypothetical situation could certainly be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While much, much smaller than a house, dental implants are also a substantial investment that can make a significant impact on your quality of life. There are simple things you can avoid doing each day to boost their durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to learn about bad habits to avoid when it comes to your dental implants in Dublin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Grinding Your Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bruxism is the term for when you grind your teeth or clench your jaw in your sleep. It puts frequent extra pressure on your teeth for harmful abrasion that can damage or loosen your dental implant. Your dentist can determine if you have bruxism and develop a custom mouthguard to keep your teeth and implant safe. If you wake up with a sore jaw, it\u2019s worth telling your dentist about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating Too Much Sugar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You probably hear plenty about how harmful sugar can be to your health, but from a dental perspective, it raises your chances of developing gum disease. This is the leading cause of tooth loss in America. Eventually, gum disease can damage your jawbone and destroy the connective tissues that hold your natural teeth and dental implant in place. While gum disease can be treated if detected early enough, it\u2019s much easier just to limit your sugar intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chewing on Non-Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You need to ditch nervous habits like chewing on ice, pens, or your fingernails. Dental implants are made from high-quality materials, but they are not designed to chew on non-food items. It\u2019s not worth risking a crack or chip in your restoration. You could also potentially damage the bones around the dental implant and put it at risk of failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While smoking means trouble for natural teeth, it could be disastrous for dental implants. Smoking is another source of elevated risk for gum disease. Smokers are 2-3 times more likely to lose their dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not Flossing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While your dental implant can\u2019t get a cavity, it can still be jeopardized if you allow plaque to affect the rest of your mouth. In fact, flossing is even more important than brushing in this regard. Flossing removes the food debris and plaque around the gum line \u2013 including parts of the dental implant you can\u2019t clean by brushing. Since gum disease is the leading cause of dental implant failure, avoiding it is literally the most important thing you can do for your new investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While staying mindful about avoiding these bad habits will work wonders for the lifespan of your dental implants, it will also boost your general health. When you schedule a consultation with your implant dentist in Dublin, you can ask if they have some more tips about things not to do to protect your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
