If You Have Implants, Be Careful with Tanghulu

Implant treatment means Seokplant

This is Seokplant Dental Hospital.

Recently, tanghulu, a Chinese street snack, has become very popular.

According to statistical information released by the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation, Ice Tanghulu and Tanghulu ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, among the top 10 popular search terms in the frozen and ready-to-cook food category from July 30 to the 9th of last month.

However, the sugar on the surface of tanghulu is hard and sticky, so you should be careful because it can damage your teeth.

In particular, after eating sticky foods, restorations such as crowns or implants may come off. In such cases, cleanly store the detached restoration and go to the dental clinic as soon as possible.

The reason you should visit the dentist quickly is that if you chew food while the restoration is missing, your teeth may become deformed, making it difficult to reattach the detached restoration to the tooth. In the worst case, the restoration may need to be remade and reattached.

In the case of implants, if the implant screw is left out, the gums will shrink and gradually close. If the gums close, you may need to undergo a complex procedure again, such as incising the gums. That is something to avoid, right?
