Soda feels harmless in the moment. You crack one open, take a few sips, and move on. The problem starts when that sugary drink hangs around your teeth and implant area. Dental implants don’t decay like natural teeth, but the gums and nearby teeth still deal with plaque. Once plaque hardens, tartar shows up.<\/p>\r\n
Sugar gives plaque bacteria something to work with. That plaque layer is soft at first, which is good news because you still have a chance to remove it. After it hardens, home care becomes much less effective.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Water after the last sip. Simple, and it stops the soda residue from sitting there through the afternoon.<\/p>\r\n
