Asked By:Polarjan in Brunswick, OH

This morning my periodontist performed a torgue test on my front upper tooth dental implant and placed a healing cap over the implant. He said my implant was a success. This evening I removed my flipper and the area surrounding the healing cap is bleeding. Is this normal?
