But if you feel like your implant is growing loose or uncomfortable, it could be a sign that it\u2019s failing. Don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch with your dentist in Canton, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.robisondentalgroup.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. J.D. Robison<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, if that happens to you. It\u2019s possible that he can rescue your dental implant and help you avoid the need for retreatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Do Dental Implants Fail?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who are eligible for dental implants are those who are in stable health and are strong enough to heal after an invasive procedure. Having a healthy immune system is key for implant success, as the bone needs to grow together with the dental implant to provide security for the new prosthetic tooth that will be affixed on top. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even initially successful dental implants can become loose or uncomfortable due to a condition we call <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oralhealthgroup.com\/features\/peri-implantitis-treatment-options\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">peri-implantitis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an infection that develops around the implant. Peri-implantitis is usually the result of poor dental hygiene after implantation, but the infection can also develop during the implant surgery. Peri-implantitis results in bone loss and usually requires the replacement of the dental implant. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Do About a Loose Dental Implant<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you notice your dental implant becoming loose or uncomfortable, don\u2019t wait to get in touch with your dentist. It probably won\u2019t get better on its own, and prompt attention may prevent the need for replacing the dental implant. Even if the looseness is not indicative of a problem, your dentist still needs to know what\u2019s going on with your dental implants. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some things to keep in mind if you have a loose dental implant. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t wiggle it &#8212; that could cause further bone loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take pain medication if you experience discomfort<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to kill bacteria <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call your dentist right away<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preventing Dental Implant Failure<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining proper dental hygiene following your dental implant placement is important for preventing bacteria buildup and promoting better oral health over a lifetime. Make sure you are brushing your teeth for two minutes, at least twice a day, and flossing daily. Use an interdental cleaner or water pick for additional help removing plaque and bacteria from around your dental implant. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also be aware that tobacco use greatly affects the success of dental implants. People who smoke are unlikely to heal properly following dental implant surgery. Quit smoking before receiving dental implants, and do not pick up the habit once you have had your missing teeth replaced. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk to Us Today! <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you noticed discomfort or loosening of one of your dental implants?
