You might be \u2013 correctly \u2013 thinking that that\u2019s kind of a big deal! Is there anything you should do to prepare for this appointment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First \u2013 you can be rest assured that you\u2019ll be in the hands of a skilled and qualified dentist. Second \u2013 there is! Keeping reading for a list of helpful pre-op tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Your Mouth Clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your oral health\u2019s number one enemy is bacteria build up, and that goes for your future dental implants as well. If you don\u2019t keep your mouth clean with regular brushing and flossing, you increase your risk of developing conditions that could complicate your dental implants\u2019 success, such as gum disease or infection. Brush twice a day and floss at least once per day so the odds will be on your side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fill Your Stomach \u2013 And Your Pantry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless your dentist says otherwise, it\u2019s a good idea to eat a hearty breakfast before your placement. Once they\u2019re anchored to your jawbone, you\u2019ll have to stick to a soft food diet for three to six months!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also why it\u2019s a good idea to make sure your pantry and fridge are well-stocked with items that you can eat after surgery. That way you can go straight home without having to worry about groceries or meal planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plan on Getting Plenty of Rest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically speaking, you could continue about your normal routine after your dental implants are placed. However, it would be better to take the day off and plan to get plenty of rest instead! For one thing, getting enough rest is vital for promoting the healing process. For another, you\u2019ll likely be sore. You could tough it out \u2013 or you could simply take your body\u2019s advice and relax for at least 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow Your Dentist\u2019s Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, follow any instructions that your dentist gives you for your pre-op. Every patient is different, so you may need to take different steps to make sure you\u2019re well prepared. If you have any questions or need clarification, be sure to ask your dentist for more details. They\u2019re your treatment guide, after all! They\u2019ll gladly help you feel as ready as possible for your dental implant surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our highly skilled dentists at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landwalkerfamilydentistry.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. Suzanne Land &amp; Associates<\/a> are proficient with dental implant treatments, and will make sure you\u2019re well-equipped to prepare for your placement surgery!
