It’s the ideal timeframe (within an hour) after a tooth is knocked out to re-implant it successfully.
Brush, floss, rinse, avoid sugary snacks/drinks, limit acidic foods, use fluoride, avoid tobacco, and have regular dental check-ups.
Porcelain veneers can effectively address small divots or pits on teeth, creating a smoother and more attractive surface.
You can consume herbal tea with added antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, probiotics, collagen, and electrolytes with porcelain veneers, but be cautious of any staining potential and maintain good oral hygiene.
You can gradually resume eating your favorite foods as your dental implant heals and integrates with the jawbone. Initially, stick to soft and non-chewy foods and gradually transition to a regular diet.
Genetics, premature loss of baby teeth, thumb-sucking, injuries, and habits like tongue thrusting can contribute.
