Wearing Mini Dental Implants for the First Time? 

If you have problem teeth or missing teeth, mini dental implants can improve your smile and boost your confidence. There are some methods to follow that will help you to maintain good oral health while wearing dentures, so we recommend following these essential tips:

Clean Them Regularly

Daily cleaning of your dental implants is crucial for maintaining their condition and preventing odor-causing bacteria. Avoid common cleaning agents or toothpaste; instead, use a soft towel and rinse them under warm water.

Brush Your Gums and Tongue Daily

Maintaining good oral health requires brushing your tongue and gums daily, whether you have mini dental implants or not. This helps remove bacteria that can lead to gum disease. Use a brush with soft bristles to gently clean your tongue and gums while wearing dentures.

Avoid Wearing Them While Sleeping

Although you can wear your dentures at night, it’s beneficial to remove them before bed. This allows your jaws and gums to relax. Wearing dentures 24/7 can also change the shape of your mouth.

Store Them Under Warm Water

To protect your investment in oral health, keep your dentures wet. Store them in warm water at night or whenever they’re not in use to prevent drying out or losing shape.

Avoid Shouting or Loud Talking

Adjust your talking habits when first wearing these devices. Avoid shouting or loud talking, as the sensitive materials can break easily. Speaking slowly can help prevent your dentures from becoming loose or falling out.
