Your life with dental implants may prove to be quite an adventure. One moment, you are missing teeth in your smile. The next, you have what appears to be a smile full of real teeth but you are aware that they are prosthetics. As a result, though you will likely forget that they’re not your natural teeth and will soon begin thinking of them as such, the process may include some new sensations, the occasional uncertainty, etc. Of course, we strongly encourage you to remain nice and calm should something happen that’s out of the ordinary! Consider two example, so you see what we mean.
#1: Something Feels Like It’s Changed
You are going to feel a lot of new sensations when you receive dental implants. While it’s nice for things to remain the same because it gives you a sense of security, remember that with implants you have made big changes! New sensations do not mean something is wrong (and even if something does need attention, we are here to help). Give yourself time to adjust. If things feel out of sorts, simply come in for a checkup.
#2: When Your Floss Feels Stuck
Have you ever placed your dental floss between your teeth then moved on to pull it out from between your teeth but it felt a bit stuck? This might be the type of floss you’ve begun using or you may be pulling at a strange angle. Rather than panicking and pulling with all of your might, simply thread it horizontally through and then try again. Never use force when dealing with your smile if you want to avoid damage! If you find you have trouble with hygiene and your dental implants, simply let us know!
