Hello,
About two years ago I had a root canal on lower molar 18. It ended up getting extracted after it started acting up again and retreatment failed. I had the tooth extracted January 2019 and had an implant placed August 2019. It healed up and didn’t bother me after that until about a week ago. About a week ago I started getting pain in the implant area and in my cheek. The pain isn’t unbearable but it’s annoying. Sometimes it’s like zaps of pain in the implant area, sometimes it’s dull aching in my cheek. Is the implant failing? I’ve been through so much and spent so much money on this tooth, I can’t bear to think about needing more work on the implant. I have an oral surgeon appointment tomorrow where they were planning to place the abutment (I think that’s what it’s called?) but now I don’t know what they’ll do when I bring this pain up. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated
