I have started to notice some bleeding around my implants, should I be worried?

Q.
Hello Doctor,

I have recently had a dental implant placed at the side of my mouth and am slightly worried about its condition. I have an appointment with my dentist in a weeks time but would really appreciate any information I could receive now. Basically there has been some mild bleeding from the site and it does feel tender to touch (which i dont continually do, just when i brush it with my tongue) and I wonder does this, in your experience, sound like a rejected implant? If it is, would I be able to try again at some point or would that be too dangerous?

Thank you very much for your time

Hello there and thank you for your question. It is likely not rejecting…success rate with implants is quite high. Just see the dentist who placed it and have it evaluated. If it is rejecting it will become loose. Hope this helps and good luck with your implants
