Poor Oral Habits Can Damage Dental Implants
28th March 2018
If you have missing teeth, dental implants are a great way to have a natural-looking and functional mouth again. Dental implants should last a lifetime but here are poor oral habits that can damage your crown.
Key takeaways:
– Teeth grinding, falls, punches, nail-biting and chewing on non-edibles can chip to crack your crown.
– The titanium post is permanent but the dentist might replace the crown.
– Protect your teeth by wearing a mouth-guard during sports or sleep (if you have bruxism).
Also, brush and floss at least twice a day.
