Follow Your Dentists Advice

• After surgery, your dentist will give you a list
  of dos and donts. Follow them! This will help
  you heal faster and avoid any problems. Take your
  meds, rest and dont do anything too active for a
  couple of days. Swelling? Use an ice pack. A
  little discomfort is normal. But if something
  feels off, call your dentist.

Keep Your Mouth Clean

• Even though implants arent real teeth, they
  still need care. Brush gently with a soft
  toothbrush. Floss every day (yes, its still
  important!). Rinse with an antibacterial
  mouthwash to keep your gums healthy. Clean
  implants mean no infections and no infections
  mean happy smiles!

Eat Soft Foods (For Now!)

• Right after surgery, your implants need time to
  settle in. So, skip the hard and crunchy stuff
  for a few days. Think mashed potatoes, yogurt,
  soup and smoothies. Youll be back to enjoying
  your favorite foods soon enough!

No Smoking or Alcohol

• If you smoke, try to take a break. Smoking slows
  down healing and can make implants fail. Alcohol
  isnt great eitherit can mess with recovery. If
  you want the best results, keep both to a minimum.
