5. You don’t take care of your implants
This is not a symptom of dental implant failure, but it is a behavior that can lead to it. Taking care of your implants is the one thing you should do if you want to have them for a long time and also avoid complications.
It is true that there are some contexts when dental implants might fail even if you are doing everything right, such as when you are receiving chemotherapy or you suffer from osteoporosis, but generally, all dental implant failures are preventable.
When you have dental implants, you are instructed on how to care for them. Your replacement teeth require daily brushing and flossing. Try to never skip that. You should also go to the dentist for routine examinations and cleanings at least twice a year. Your chances of dental implant failure increase if you don’t do these things.
Closely monitor your implants, and you will have that beautiful smile for decades. And don’t forget that you don’t have to do this all by yourself. Your dentist is always there to help and support you.
