I was flossing tonight and noticed when I flossed on one side of my implant a little blood on the piece of floss. I’ve had the implant for about 6 months and the crown for 2 weeks.
I can’t see anything worrying from looking around the area, is this something to call my dentist about or see what happens when I floss next time?
 
It usually means you've got a bit of inflammation round the implant due to lack fo plaque control, so try being a bit more diligent in cleaning the area.
