You should take this problem seriously and get dental care if it occurs. As for the reasons, your Naples dentist is here to lay them out. Read on to learn the causes of sensitive dental implants and why they deserve dental attention!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes a Dental Implant Feel Sensitive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants can\u2019t really \u201cfeel\u201d things; they\u2019re artificial and lack nerve endings. That said, the areas around them can get irritated by various factors. Such things include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Impaction<\/strong> \u2013 You could develop sensitivity if debris wedges between your dental implant and natural teeth. Look in the mirror for \u201cleftovers\u201d around your implant post to confirm the matter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dental Crowding<\/strong> \u2013 Your mouth will suffer if a dental implant is placed too close to other teeth. Should that happen, pressure from the post will build and make the areas nearby tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gum Infection<\/strong> \u2013 Dental implants never get infected, but the gums around them can. Gum disease could make your prosthetic achy by eroding the bone near your implant post.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nerve Damage <\/strong>\u2013 Though the risk is small, a dentist may harm certain nerves during implant placement. Your mouth would then be sensitive due to the resulting nerve damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why See a Dentist for Help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A sensitive dental implant won\u2019t fade on its own, however much you want it to. You\u2019ll need a dentist to get the issue truly fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the core problem is small, your dentist could suggest lifestyle changes to ease your symptoms. These may range from twice-daily brushing and flossing to more frequent checkups. If they have any, a dentist could also recommend a mouthguard to prevent teeth grinding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your sensitivity\u2019s cause is severe, the dentist may simply replace your dental implant. Matters like infections, crowding, and impaction would lead to implant failure anyway. By getting a new post, you\u2019d relieve your sensitive mouth and achieve better treatment results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does your dental implant feel sensitive right now? If so, consult your dental provider \u2013 they\u2019ll quickly address it so your restored smile stays strong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galleriadentistry.com\/\">Galleria Dentistry<\/a> is based in Naples, FL.
