A member asked:
I had an implant dental 4 months ago and my gum above the op is red and puffy. uncomfortable but not painful. should i still have a puffy red gum so long after the operation. ?

No: Your surgical site should have healed after a week or two. You need to immediately go back to the surgeon who placed the implant to have the fixture evaluated.

No, should be healed: Should not be red or uncomfortable. Please return to the practitioner that placed the fixture for a reevaluation.
