Do i need to worry about my dental implants if i have thrush?

Probably not : More than likely it isn't a concern, but see your dentist to make sure. I would be more concerned as to the reason you have thrush in the first place. It could be something as minor as having been on an antibiotic recently or perhaps you just need to brush your tongue, but it could also be a sign of some greater underlying immune issue. Don't lose sleep over it, but do get it looked at.

Absolutely: Like any infection that can effect oral mucosa, thrush should be treated before resulting in inflammation around dental implants. This is usually done quite easily with lozenges or oral medications.

Not necessarily: If they are integrated and well healed and you are keeping them clean, then you should be ok. You must concern yourself with treating the thrush as well as finding out why you have it and how to prevent it. Often it is related to inhaled medications and overuse of oral antimicrobial rinses. Check with your dentist and family physician.

Thrush: Thrush is a fungal infection and are not the cause of dental implants failures. You need to see your dentist or a doctor for proper treatment.

Fungal infection: Thrush is a fungal infection, though does not related to dental implants swelling, may be a byproduct of antibiotic therapy. Antibiotic eliminates bacteria and disrupt the bacterial/fungal balance. Clean your mouth, clean your tongue, discontinue antibiotic if possible, your mouth should return to normalcy in two weeks.

No, get treatment: Do not worry with youl implant only, get treatment with your dentist to maintain your oral health.
