TM Prosthodontics Discusses Important Steps to Undertake Before and After a Dental Implant Procedure

MIAMI, August 29, 2018 (Newswire.com) - TM Prosthodontics, Miami's premier dental implant center, discusses the importance of adequate preparation before a dental implant procedure. Preparing for a dental implant procedure is important for the success of the procedure, which if done correctly, can last for years. 

Here are some tips on how to successfully prepare for a dental implant procedure (and how to recover after):

1. Adequate Teeth Brushing

This simple, but often overlooked dental implant preparation, is one of the easiest ways patients can prepare for a procedure. Teeth brushing effectively removes debris and plaque that can obstruct passageways in the gums in addition to removing unhealthy bacteria. Furthermore, patients should always use a prescription-strength toothpaste to maximize results. Teeth brushing is a healthy lifestyle choice that can minimize cavity growth and ensure the health of the teeth, which is why most prosthodontists recommend this practice in preparation for a dental implant procedure.

2. Emphasis on a Liquid Diet

After receiving dental implants, patients are advised to stick to a liquid diet following the procedure to let the gums recover and because of the inflammation that occurs after the surgery. However, it is also important for patients to realize that their body still needs solid nutrition after the surgery, so here is a quick guide to highly nutritious and soft foods:

• Stay hydrated: patients should drink copious amounts of water to help their immune system heal and regain strength. 
• Fruits and vegetables: Make sure they are cooked and cut into small pieces.
• No Hard foods. Patients should consume softer grains like oatmeal, rice, or mashed potatoes. 
• Proteins: The best post-surgery diet has easily digestible proteins, such as dairy products, or cooked eggs, and fish. Other healthy grains are quinoa or couscous. 
• Soft fruits, such as bananas and berries. 
• Broths and stews have a great electrolyte and micronutrient profile. 
• Macaroni and cheese and soft bread.
• Sweets such as puddings, milkshakes, smoothies, or cake.
• Tea, coffee, juice, or milk.
