When in doubt, you should <em>always <\/em>call your dentist, just in case! Here are some signs of dental implant failure to watch out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Difficulties chewing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inflamed gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receding gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oral swelling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loose implants or teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Severe or prolonged pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You Should Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you believe your dental implant might be failing, don\u2019t try to remove or adjust it yourself. Doing so could damage your restoration or nearby teeth. Instead, call your dentist right away and describe your symptoms in as much detail as possible. They\u2019ll help you schedule the next available emergency appointment, and if necessary, can provide first aid advice. They might also advise you to rinse your mouth with salt water, or to avoid touching your implant site until they can get a better understanding of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever instructions your dentist gives you, make sure you follow them closely! Once they examine your mouth and take detailed X-rays, they\u2019ll be able to tell you <em>why <\/em>your implant failed. Treatment might involve taking care of oral conditions like cavities and gum disease, or repairing or replacing the implant itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoiding Dental Implant Failure in The Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While not all dental implant failures can be prevented, the vast majority of them can! Smoking and gum disease are the most common cause of dental implant complications. By limiting your tobacco usage and maintaining good oral hygiene habits, you can reduce your risk of failure even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When dental disasters strike, your dentist is ready to leap into action and treat your emergency. They\u2019d also be happy to talk with you about more ways you can prevent dental implant failure, so if you\u2019re concerned, don\u2019t hesitate to give them a call!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenudentalsi.com\/meet-dr-g.html\">Dr. Admasu Gizachew<\/a> is a highly experienced implant dentist in Staten Island.
