Not only will they renew your smile, but they\u2019ll also preserve your jawbone and avert further tooth loss. To maintain them, you\u2019ll simply have to practice proper oral hygiene and prevention, such as visiting your dentist twice a year for checkups and cleanings. But what do you do if you experience sensitivity after undergoing dental implant surgery? Keep reading to learn why this might happen, the symptoms of treatment failure, and when to call your dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Possible Reasons for Dental Implant Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since your dental implant isn\u2019t a natural tooth, you shouldn\u2019t feel any sensitivity coming from them. However, there may be several reasons you might experience mild discomfort or soreness. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your surrounding teeth or gums may be compromised (the exact location can be difficult to determine).<\/li><li>An allergic reaction.<\/li><li>Food particles are stuck between your gums and dental implant(s).<\/li><li>The implant is crowding your surrounding teeth.<\/li><li>Nerve damage.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Symptoms of Dental Implant Failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are reliable and extremely safe, typically boasting a success rate of 95% or more. Still, they can fail under certain circumstances. Here are a few common indications that your metal posts are failing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Receding gum line.<\/li><li>Difficulty chewing or biting.<\/li><li>Oral discomfort or pain.<\/li><li>Inflamed, tender, or swollen gums.<\/li><li>Loose or weakened implant.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When You Should See Your Dentist For Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s normal to experience some discomfort or soreness after undergoing your dental implant procedure. Any uncomfortable sensations should go away on their own once you\u2019ve recovered completely. Be sure to take note of any first symptoms when they arise. If they persist for too long or worsen over time, you\u2019ll need to consult your dentist as soon as possible. They\u2019ll examine your implant, gums, and surrounding teeth. Once they\u2019ve identified the source of the issue, they can provide the necessary treatment to address it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing sensitivity around your dental implant, don\u2019t hesitate to contact your dental team for help. They\u2019ll be glad to treat the situation promptly so that you can return to enjoying your new and improved smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Karina Aloian received her dental degree from the Midwestern University in Glendale.
