Dental implants during pregnancy are a major concern today for pregnant women to modify their dental smile designs. If you are pregnant, it is best to delay implants and postpone them until after pregnancy. Although dental implant is a safe and non-risk method, but if you consult an experienced implant specialist, the following reasons will convince you to delay doing so.
Reasons for not using implants during pregnancy
Increased risk of implant complications during pregnancy
The dental implant is a small titanium post which enters the jawbone for keeping false teeth by surgery. Doing any surgery such as implant during pregnancy can be associated with complications, so it is better you don’t put your child at risk.
Children absorb calcium
The main reason for preventing the implant during pregnancy can be attributed to a problem with the weld of the implant in the jawbone. The infant in the mother’s embryo imposes a lot of demand on the mother’s body, and if the mother does not consume sufficient calcium, children will receive calcium for their growth from the mother’s bones, so it may challenge welding the implant in the jaw bone.
X-ray radiation damage
Radiographs and X-rays are needed to perform surgery and to determine the exact position of the implant. Exposing the fetus to radiological radiation can be dangerous, so it is advisable to avoid it during pregnancy.
Anesthetic
During the implant surgery process, anesthetic drugs are used that are dangerous to the health of your unborn child. Therefore, it is recommended that you avoid general anesthesia or local anesthesia during the first 9 months of pregnancy.
Stress
Another reason to ban the use of dental implant during pregnancy is stress. Stress in pregnancy is like poison because it can affect the child’s growth. Don’t be in a rush to implant in this period and don’t worry about extra concern. Try to have a calm pregnancy. You will be prepared for the implant after delivery.
In some cases, the person may become pregnant after conducting the implant surgery in the waiting time for the implant. In this case, all dental care, except decay control and dental emergency treatments, should be delayed until the birth of the baby.
Preferably, the implant phase, which is accompanied by numbness before pregnancy, should be carried out. The completion of other treatments phases, which generally require no anesthetic, is possible during pregnancy.
To have a beautiful smile instead of using the dental implant during pregnancy, you can use temporary solutions, that is, ask your dentist to cover the tooth that needs replacing with a temporary laminate and to have the dental implant process after delivery.
