How do I know if I have implant gum problems?

You may have early peri-implant gum disease if:
  • Your gums are red and swollen
  • Your gums bleed easily when you brush or eat hard foods. Bleeding gums are not normal
  • You have bad breath
  • You may a salty or metallic taste in your mouth
 
With severe disease you may notice that:
  • Your implant becomes wobbly
  • Your gums have receded exposing the metallic portion of the implant
Take action if you notice these signs. Contact your dentist who may provide assistance or refer you to a periodontist. Early intervention will improve the success of any treatment and will help delay or prevent the loss of your implants.
