A slight pain after the surgery is normal and you should know when the pain after implants is a reason to worry. So, if you just had implant surgery, you need to know whether your pain or discomfort is normal or not.
Pain and discomfort for at least one week:
The new technologies available at Implant Dentistry Medford have made this statement less invasive and painless but are still considered as major as it includes opening your jaw and placing a metal implant into the opening. Just after the procedure, you will not feel anything because the effect of anesthesia will last for at least 2 to 3 hours but when the effect wears off, you will feel slight pain which is completely normal. If you feel like you are not able to bear the pain, you can always take over-the-counter pain killer tablets as they will ease off the pain. A bit of bleeding is also common for the first 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. The important thing to remember after the surgery is that your treated area will be very tender and sensitive and can also have brushing and swelling. So, it is very crucial to follow all the instructions given by your dentist which includes avoiding hot, hard, and crunchy food.
These symptoms, in general, last for 3 to 7 days, and after 5 days all these symptoms will start fading and you will start feeling normal.
After 2 weeks
within 1-2 weeks, every pain and discomfort will go away and you can resume your old routine including your running and normal diet. After 2 weeks, there will be no bleeding and little to no swelling and bruising. You need to remember that another 3-6 months will be needed so that your implants can completely bond with your jaw bones.
When to worry:
You will need to visit Dental Implants Medford if the pain and discomfort are not gone and are becoming even worse. If your implants are proper, there should not be any pain or discomfort but if you do face such a situation, it is important to go and meet your dentist so that the root cause for the same can be understood. One of the most common reasons for such is infection. During the surgery, if implants are not cleaned and disinfected, they can cause inflammation which later causes pain and discomfort but this condition is very rare. If you consult on time, this problem can be eradicated and can be sorted with antibiotic treatment to remove the infection.
Another reason for the pain is the rejection of the body of implants. Some people might have metal allergies which they are not aware of which becomes one of the reasons why the body will reject the implants and can cause pain and discomfort and prevents healing.
