I have a question for you. I had an implant put in on June 2. It has been healing nicely. However, last Tuesday night I started having pain in the surrounding teeth and up and down my jaw. I have had to take 2 Advils. My oral surgeon and dentist think that my bite is off due to slight shifting of my teeth while my tooth was out. My general dentist ground down one of the teeth. I have since noticed that the pain is not localized to that one tooth. The pain radiates down the side of the jaw on which the implant is located. I am on antibiotics as well. Could this be a symptom that I can not tolerate the implant or is something else going on? My xrays show no infection at this time.

Thank you,

Patricia Holder
