“What to avoid after dental implants?”
I got a dental implant a week ago. I want to know what to avoid after dental implants?

This question should have been answered by the person who put the implant in, not an online forum. Ask them. If they did not answer this, then you went to the wrong person to get an implant.
If the implant was just placed, it normally takes 3-4 months to fully integrate with the bone of the jaw. I've had several of them. I usually avoid chewing anything hard, like nuts, ice, etc., because you can interfere with the bone integration and you can lose the implant. I gently brush the top area with a soft brush.
If there is not a tooth or a denture pressing against the new implant, there are few eating restrictions. If there is a tooth or denture attached, stay with soft foods. You want to minimize pressure on the implant z

Avoid hard foods for a few weeks. Keep the area clean.
