Italians live by the rule of 15: 1  Use coffee beans within 15 days of roasting. 2  Use ground coffee within 15 minutes of grinding. 3  Drink coffee within 15 seconds of brewing.
The good news is that teeth (and bones) are able to heal themselves in a process called remineralization. Basically, specialized cells in the center of the tooth are able to regenerate dentin, the layer of tooth just under the enamel, and the enamel can then properly remineralize from the outside.
To take care of your teeth and gums: 1  Brush the area of your dental implant and crown at least twice a day, just as if it were one of your natural teeth. 2  Floss gently around the dental crown once a day. 3  Visit the dentist for regular examinations and cleanings. 4  Avoid chewing and biting on hard objects like ice.
