How can I tell if an Implant is loose?

December 18, 2015
Asked By:TimidZiggy in Cleveland, OH

I am getting implants to get a permanent bottom denture, I was just there 10 days ago and the doctor said I was healing great. About 5 minutes ago I felt movement in my jaw one of the implants feels like it's moving. I'm not in agonizing pain but there's a dull throbbing the second implant feels 100% stable, no pain. Is this loose? I don't know how soon I can even get to my dentist cause of the holidays. Help!
