Intense pain in jaw after 5 implants. Is it possible I tore the sutures?

October 19, 2018
Asked By:Marjorie84 in Baltimore, MD

I had 5 implants placed a week ago and everything appeared to be going well and now I am in terrible pain. My jaw is so tender I can barely touch it. It only appears to be one implant area. I remember yawning and felt a very sharp pain as though something had torn. Is it possible that I tore the sutures and dislodged the implant and that is what is causing pain?
