Does it hurt to remove oral stitches?

Generally, the stitches should be removed about a week after they are removed. You don't need to take painkillers before removing them because it won't be very painful, just a little tingling sensation. Try not to eat spicy or cold foods that may irritate your mouth after the stitches are removed. Brush your teeth every morning and evening, rinse your mouth after meals, and maintain oral hygiene.

Dental Implant Care

Overview

Dental implants are placed when the original tooth is damaged and can no longer be used. The doctor will first clean your remaining tooth roots, and then place the metal roots in the damaged tooth sockets. After 1-3 months, the metal roots and the original tooth sockets will grow well. After the doctor confirms that the implant can continue, special porcelain teeth will be installed on the metal roots. Only then will the implant work be complete. At present, the technology of dental implants is very mature and is recognized as a better method to repair missing teeth.

Steps/Methods:

1. Although implanted teeth are artificial, they can be infected and damaged like normal teeth. Therefore, after dental implants, you should also pay great attention to maintaining oral hygiene to extend the service life of the dental implants. Therefore, it is very important to maintain good oral hygiene habits. Oral cleaning should be done promptly and effectively to ensure oral cleanliness and reduce bacterial growth.

2. Within two weeks after dental implant, you should rinse your mouth after meals and use mouthwash every day to avoid infection. After the repair is completed, you should go to the hospital for teeth cleaning regularly. When brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, try to use a soft-bristled brush. A toothbrush that is too hard can easily damage your oral cavity. At the same time, you can also use dental floss to clean the dental implants every day. Be very careful when cleaning to avoid damaging them.

3. Diet is very important within half a month after dental implant. At this time, you should mainly eat liquid and semi-liquid food, such as porridge, noodles, etc. Do not eat hard or tough food to avoid excessive force on your teeth and damage the newly implanted teeth. Do not eat very hard food within three months after the operation. You can use some calcium supplements under the guidance of a doctor.

Note:

After dental implantation, infection, gingival hyperplasia, lower lip numbness, etc. may occur. Therefore, within two weeks of postoperative recovery, you should observe the condition of the implant site casually and report any adverse reactions to your doctor in a timely manner.
