Dental implants are one of the strongest methods of replacing a tooth, allowing you to regain a lot of the bite force that you may have lost along with your teeth. That can make a massive difference in many aspects of your life, from eating to talking.
If you have a brand new dental implant you’re interested in trying out, summer has plenty of foods available for you to sample. Here are some examples for you.
Dental Implants and Summer Barbecues
Summer barbecues are one of the highlights of the season, and dental implants can handle just about anything that you’d be able to grill up. You’re probably used to brisket and hamburgers if you’re been missing teeth, but sausage, steak, pork chops, and grilled chicken are all on the table with your dental implants
The only caveat is bone-in ribs, which just about any dentist would tell you to avoid. This is because of the unavoidable risk of accidentally biting into the bone, which could damage both your restoration and your natural tooth.
Eating Popsicles With Dental Implants
You’d be hard-pressed to find a dentist who would happily recommend you eat more sugar, but any oral healthcare professional is well aware that most people are going to indulge in sweets occasionally. This is especially true in the summertime when popsicles are basically irresistible.
If you’ve been dealing with an infected or decayed tooth for a long time, it may have been pretty uncomfortable to eat them. If you’ve replaced that tooth with a dental implant, you’re now in a position to enjoy them with much greater comfort.
Dental Implants For Corn on the Cob
Loose corn is just fine, but for some reason, there’s nothing like the juicy taste of corn on the cob. If you’ve been missing one of your front teeth, it might have been uncomfortable—if not impossible—to eat corn on the cob. Replacing those teeth with dental implants can make enjoying this buttery side dish much easier.
