4. Get Proper Rest Despite being an outpatient dental surgery, patients will feel groggy after getting dental implants. The effects of local anesthesia can last for several hours after the surgery, so patients should rest well after their surgery. We use local anesthesia to numb the treatment area before inserting dental implants.

5. Ensure that you follow your dentist's post-surgery advice. After your procedure, your dentist will arrange a follow-up appointment or two. Attend these appointments on time. During these visits, dentists check the dental implants to ensure that they are healing properly and that nothing unusual is visible. Follow the Dentist’s instructions

6. Take Pain Medication Take your painkillers exactly as directed every time, even if it's in the middle of the night. Always follow the directions on your prescription for pain relief.

7. A good oral hygiene routine is crucial to good oral health. Keep your mouth clean to prevent bacteria from building up on the operated area. Bacteria on fresh wounds can cause infection in the gums, which will lead to further issues. Keep Your Mouth Clean

8. Eat Nutritious Food There are several recipes for a soft food diet that are rich in vitamins. Fruits and vegetables with high fiber content are the best after surgery. In order to promote healing, foods rich in vitamins A and C, such as mashed potatoes, creamy soup, applesauce, milkshakes, and yogurt, should be consumed.

9. It is important to avoid fluoride-free toothpaste, charcoal toothpaste, baking soda, and vinegar because they can damage your teeth and implants. Fluoride is present in toothpaste, mouthwash, and water. Use Fluoride

10. Avoid Touching The Operated Area You should avoid touching the dental implants with your fingers a few days after surgery because the wound is still fresh.

11. After dental implant surgery, smoking interferes with the natural healing process and increases your risk of infection and failure. It stains the enamel of your teeth, making them yellow. As a result of the motion of sucking while smoking, dry sockets can develop. Don’t Smoke

12. Don’t Consume Coloured Drinks The extreme coldness of wine and carbonated beverages can stain dental implants and cause discomfort.

13. After getting dental implants, hard, chewy, and sticky foods are strictly forbidden. They can damage the implants as well as break them. Foods to avoid include popcorn kernels, ice, hard candies, gummy candies, taffy, caramel apples, and seeds. Avoid Certain Foods

14. Any physical exertion can impede the healing process at the area of treatment. When lifting, bending, pulling or pushing objects which require significant force, there is a risk of undue bleeding, pain or swelling. On the first day it is important to rest and allow your gums time to recover from their stress-filled ordeal. Steer clear of sudden movements such as standing too quickly as this may cause dizziness. Moreover, strenuous exercise should not be done as your body may be incapable of handling it with reduced caloric and fluid intake. Don’t Lift Heavy Objects
