What If Your Dental Prosthesis Fell Out During the Lunar New Year Holiday? Tips for Taking Care of Your Teeth During the Holiday!🔖 / Regular Holiday Hours at Gangnam Leong Dental Clinic

Hello, this is Gangnam Leong Dental Clinic😊

The Lunar New Year holiday, which started from the weekend,

How are you spending it?

⚜️

Gangnam Leong Dental Clinic is open for regular treatment

until 7 PM today, the temporary public holiday!

We hope you can spend a fun time together

with your family, catching up and enjoying delicious holiday foods.

However, holiday foods are different from usual

because they often include many hard or sticky items,

which makes them more likely to cause dental problems.

So, here are some simple precautions and tips

for how to take care of your teeth during the holiday period!

Be careful about prostheses and orthodontic appliances coming off!

Eating tough, hard, and sticky foods

can cause prostheses such as inlays, crowns, or orthodontic brackets attached to teeth

to come off.

When eating these foods, chew on the opposite side

where there is no prosthesis,

and it is also best to avoid them as much as possible.

However, if a prosthesis does come off,

visit a dental clinic that is open during the holiday period,

or if there is no major discomfort even after it comes off,

it is better to be careful until the holiday ends

and then visit the dental clinic where you receive treatment.

If the prosthesis came off with relatively little damage,

it may be possible to reattach it,

so keep it well and bring it with you when you visit.

If the detached prosthesis is causing severe pain,

visit a place that provides emergency treatment right away

and receive simple care.

Be careful not to damage your teeth!

If it is not a prosthesis,

but you bite something hard while eating

or hit something and your tooth cracks or breaks,

the response will differ depending on the symptoms.

If the tooth breaks and pain develops,

and it becomes unbearable,

emergency treatment is also necessary.

If needed, root canal treatment or even a crown

may be required.

If treatment is in progress, avoiding alcohol is essential!

If you have started root canal treatment

and it has not yet been completed,

or if you have had a tooth extraction or implant surgery

and the area has not fully healed,

you should refrain from drinking alcohol.

If you drink alcohol during the treatment process

or while recovering,

it may cause inflammation in the open gums

around the treatment area.

Tips for preventing dental problems!

Enjoy holiday foods,

but pay attention to and prevent anything that could harm your dental health!

✅ Avoid tough and hard foods

Do not force yourself to chew sticky foods,

foods that put strong pressure on your teeth,

or hard foods;

consume them in moderation.

✅ Maintain thorough oral hygiene

In addition to brushing your teeth after meals,

use dental floss or mouthwash

to make sure sticky and tough foods

are completely removed,

and pay attention to your oral hygiene.

After the holidays, it is important to have a dental checkup

to look for signs of cavities or gum disease

and to check the condition of your prostheses or orthodontic appliances!

Today, we shared helpful teeth-care tips

for the long holiday.

We hope you enjoy the rest of the Lunar New Year holiday

without any problems😀
