Is Popcorn Bad to Eat if you have Dental Implants?

After going through the process and getting that perfect smile, it is important to take care of your dental implants properly. Watching what you eat or chew on helps to ensure your implants stay in great condition. For patients with dental implants, there are certain foods they should avoid keeping them looking and feeling good.

At Kuhns Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, we specialize in implant dentistry, and our team is trained to work with each patient throughout the entire process. During the consultation, we explain what to expect and how to care for their implants at home. The key to keeping your implants clean and free of harmful plaque is practicing good oral hygiene.


CAN I EAT POPCORN?

Popcorn is one of the foods that should be avoided if you have dental implants. Any food that is a seed can be dangerous and cause you to have potential issues. For example, popcorn can get stuck between the teeth and gums and damage your implants. Likewise, if you chew on an un-popped kernel, this can stress your implant and cause the implant to become weak or unstable. Implants are durable, but in some cases, they can break or crack if they are not treated with care.


We always recommend that patients treat their implants just like their natural teeth. Keeping your dental implants clean and healthy can avoid unnecessary or painful trips to the dentist. After investing in your smile, you want to avoid the need for repair. There are plenty of softer snacks and foods safe to eat with dental implants.
