Pain after 13 days

I would be concerned about infection and suggest a follow up with your dentist most implant surgery is pain free after 7-10 days good luck Kevin Coughlin DMD, MBA, MAGD CEO Baystate Dental PC

Pain after implant placement

Sorry for you being in such complicated state after the surgery. The first things I would recommend- contact the doctor who did the surgery and describe your complaints. We usually premedicate the patients prior to the surgery in order to eliminate post-operative pain and swelling. Ask your doctor for pain medication prescription and adjustment of the flippers. Don`t forget to keep rinsing with Peridex!
