Implants: Situations When You Should Be Careful!!

Recently, many people prefer implants because they cause less pain and feel less uncomfortable to use.

If implants are properly cared for, one of their advantages is that they can be used for a long time, from as little as 10 years to 15 years or more.

However, it is an unavoidable fact that if they are not managed properly, the lifespan of the implant will be shortened.

So, what warning signs does our body send us when something is wrong with an implant?

Shall we take a look together with 'Seokplant Dental Hospital'?

1. When there is bad breath

An implant is an artificial tooth, but it still needs to be cared for just like a real tooth in our body.

In particular, using an implant roughly just because it is an artificial tooth can cause bad breath.

The reason is that if you often eat hard or chewy foods, the implant screw can loosen, increasing the risk of it coming undone.

If the implant screw becomes very loose, food can get trapped in the gap, and bacteria can then multiply and cause bad breath.

Therefore, if bad breath continues after getting an implant, it is a good idea to suspect this once.

2. When you smoke a lot

One of the easiest and most common habits that damage implants is 'smoking.'

Smoking is one of the worst habits for oral health, regardless of implant lifespan, and can cause various diseases.

So, shall we look at how the habit of smoking negatively affects implants?

First, when you smoke, the temperature inside the mouth rises. If this state is repeated often,

saliva secretion is suppressed and an environment that is favorable for bacteria to multiply is created.

Bacterial growth worsens gum health, and as the strength of the gums that support the implant naturally weakens,

it becomes easier for the implant's lifespan to be shortened. Therefore, after getting an implant, it is best to avoid smoking as much as possible and continue healthy lifestyle habits that protect oral health.

3. When the gum color changes and there is bleeding

If, while using an implant, your 'gum color suddenly changes'

or 'bleeding' occurs in that area, there is a high chance that the implant is being used in the wrong way.

The reasons for this can vary widely, including bad lifestyle habits or insufficient nutritional intake,

but the most important thing is that if these symptoms occur,

the most important step is to visit a hospital as soon as possible, find the root cause, and receive treatment.
