My Dental Implant Was Itching and Now it Won’t Stop Bleeding. Any Advice?

April 24th, 2015
Q.

Hi, I did something really stupid. I had my implants fitted only 3 weeks ago and was extremely itchy around one of the areas. I scratched it and now it won’t stop bleeding. I thought it would stop but it hasn’t! I’ve tried everything and I’m scared that it means my implant is failing. I’m seeing my implant dentist tomorrow but just wondered if you could advise me for now? I need to feel better…I spent SO much money on these implants. Thanks for your time.

I’m About To Have An Implant Put In. Will It Hurt?

March 15th, 2015
Q.

Hi Dr McGovern. I’m about to have an implant put in as I have a missing tooth. I’m pretty scared of dentists and tend to get a bit panicky when I go, so I’m really nervous now!! Will it hurt? I’ve got a low pain threshold so I’m scared it’s really going to hurt me. And will my mouth swell up afterwards? I don’t want that!

My New Implants Need Time To Heal But I Can’t Eat Or Drink And My Dentist Isn’t Helpful. Should I Seek A Second Opinion?

October 9th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Moore. I had my implants placed around 4 weeks ago. I know you’re supposed to give them at least 6 months to heal but this is impossible. I can’t eat a thing, I can’t open my mouth, my gums are bleeding and my dentist is offering me no advice. He keeps brushing me off and just keeps recommending different pain killers. I don’t feel he’s being very attentive at all. Can you please offer me some advice regarding this matter? Should I seek a second opinion? Thank you.

Pain is worse after artificial bone graft. Is implant problem one that will resolve itself?

December 22nd, 2011
Q.
I had a dental implant following root canal treatment on my front tooth which went wrong. The area under my nose remained sore even afer a few years of having the implant. I kept returning to the implant centre and was told everything was okay, however a few months ago I again returned and was informed that I would need an artificial bone graft. This was carried out 3 months ago. I have more pain than before now and the gum line has receeded showing some of the metal of the implant. It is uncomfortable and sore. My dentist said to see her again in 6 weeks and she would consider sending me to the hospital (which I requested). I’m concerned about returning to the implant centre as I have been going for around 2.5 years and the problem has just worsened. I have three questions really. If there is damage to the area can it be repaired? – I can’t sleep at night sometimes because I am worried that it will deteriorate so badly that I lose all my top teeth and the bone too. The second question is who can I turn to for advice as soon as possible to stop any further problems? My last question is – could it be just normal to be experiencing such discomfort – should I just wait longer for it to heal. Many thanks for your time ,
A.

I am getting a dull ache from the gum area around my implant but there is no inflammation. Should I see my dentist?

September 17th, 2011
Q.
Hi. I had an upper lateral incisor replaced by an immediate implant a year ago, and up until now have had absolutely no problems with it. However, I have recently noticed that the area above the implant is sore – by this, I mean when I apply makeup, or facial cream, I notice slight discomfort over the area, like it is bruised. I then noticed that if I there was any slight pressure on the gum above the implant, it would bleed down around the tooth. I have no other areas of gum bleeding and am very careful with my gum care (flossing, interdental brushes etc.) I also use a water pik, and have noticed it is very sore when it washes around the implant. However, the gum does not look inflamed, and the implant is still rock solid. I am now aware of a dull ache occasionally. Do I need to go back to see my implant dentist? Thank you.,
A.
Yes, go back there could be a … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I am still in pain and very swollen three days after implant treatment. Is there something wrong?

September 4th, 2011
Q.
Hi I have just had two implants placed in UL2 and UR1. UL1 is also missing and they are going to place a bridge. I damaged the teeth in a sporting accident many years ago and I am now getting them replaced. It is the third day after the implants and my mouth is very sore and swollen. I even have a black eye! During the procedure I was constantly feeling it and needed roughly 20 injections! Is this the reason I am so swollen and in a lot of pain? Or could something be wrong? I am also concerned about the interim period before my next appointment in Feb. I am a teacher and obviously need front teeth to do my job. When will I be able to wear the denture that has been made at the moment it feels like never. Also when I have the Uncover procedure there is a further 6-8 weeks before the bridge is placed. How can I wear my denture with the metal posts in place and will the procedure leave me sore and unable to waer it like the first one. This is really worrying me as I cant take that amount of time off! Sorry about the barrage of questions but I am really anxious. Many thanks,
A.

Q.
I had a top front dental implant more than 10 years ago and recently I am having pains in the gums that are sharp or in my assumption the same as someone who has pain associated with cold to their teeth. There is also a popping sensation inside the gums and tooth. The pain is not constant, but when it\’s there it really hurts. What kind of problems could be causing this type of pain after so many years?,
