I have pain after dental implant surgery not in the area were the implants (two) were placed but in different teeth not even adjacent to the implant.

Need more info: Can't help you. Talk to your surgeon any time you have unexplained pain or swelling after a procedure.

Call your doctor: Visit your doctor. He or she will know what is causing your discomfort.

Exposed roots.: If your implant surgery was done by flap technique (verse a punch) your gums may have slightly "receded" and exposed "naked" cold sensitive roots. Additionally, if your post-op hygiene does not include flossing those approximating roots, this to may cause the root exposure. Floss the teeth walls near the implants and carefully brush them with a desensitizing toothpaste. See dds if persists.

Different problem : From what you describe, you could very well have a different dental problem in another part of you mouth. I would call my dentist and have it evaluated. The problem you mention is probably unrelated to your two new implants, so get it diagnosed and treated. Good luck!

Referral pain : The pain often accompanies implant placement not only at the surgical site, but also the pain may be referred to other areas, such as the ear, sinus. teeth, jaw and TMJ. Follow your surgeon instruction and referral pain will stop soon. Take care.

Go Back: See the Dentist who placed the implants first, then if needed , see your restorative dentist, unless they are one in the same. You may be exerting extra pressure on the other teeth as you avoid the implant site. Good luck.
