Dental implants are a low maintenance replacement for lost teeth. The implants are placed into the tissue of the gums where they fuse with the jawbone, providing a permanent artificial root.

 Most patients know which dental habits to adopt in order to maintain good dental hygiene: brushing and flossing daily, avoiding sticky, sweet foods, and regularly visiting your dental office. But what dental habits should you be avoiding?
