Q.
Hi, I had dental implants about six months ago. Initially had no pain. After four months I had my teeth put in and since then have had a constant dull ache in the area, including sensitivity to heat, cold and sweetness. Thinking it was possibly the next tooth, I have had root treatment on that tooth, but it has made no difference. Now neuralgia is being suggested, but I have researched and don’t see the symptoms as the same. What else could it be? Thanks

Q.
After researching dental implants I have come across what is called bonr grafts, where bone is put into the jawline or something to help anchor the implant when it is put in. What material is used to do this? Is it actual bone or some other synthetic material?

Q.
I know that the gums are supposed to be sore and sensitive as they are right around the area where the procedure was performed, but is it normal for there to be an ache in the jaw as well? I got my dental implant in my lower teeth and i can definately feel a soreness in my jaw around this area?
