My dental implant feels weird

Question

Its been 3 months that I've had my dental implants i have 2 of them on the top of my mouth and the one on my right side ive notice today is feeling weird. when i push on the gum i feel pressure and a little pain, but the one on the left side feels normal. Im so scared and i don't want my implant to be rejecting is there anyway my implant can still be saved if it is infected? I'm going to go to the dentist after this weekend i just need some advice I'm having terrible anxiety from this

Pain can be indicative of inflammatory process or infection (peri-implantitis). This is not normal after 3 months and it should be evaluated by a surgeon to assess its health. See link below for more on this condition.

If it's only been 3 months since the implant has been placed and it's infected the. The best course of action is to replace it.   This happens very rarely.  1-2 out of 100 implants may have bone around them that fails.   This can be rectified.  Rinse with salt water until you go and see your dentist.  We still don't know if it is indeed infected it may be just a gum issue.  The good news is that you are on it and there are solutions.   Good luck.
