Q. Is it normal to feel pain in the gums after having implants?
Hi doctor,
Eight days ago, I had four dental implants placed in the lower jaw. Is it normal to have pain on the sides of the gums where I got implants?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern regarding dental health.
- The presence of pain for 10 to 15 days after implant is a normal one.
- It might also be due to some infections like plaque or food lodgement or due to some pathological changes in bone.
- So, you should consult your nearby dentist to rule out the reason of pain by clinical examination of the affected area.
- Meanwhile, you can take painkillers like Ibuprofen (if no allergy) 600 mg 8 hourly. If swelling occurs, you can subside it by ice application.
