Dental implant felt on gums

akashah
I got my dental implant 7 weeks ago, after I lost front top tooth in an accident. I had X-Rays recently, in which my dentist said that the healing is taking place normally, but he asked me to clean the area of gums properly with fingertips/cotton while brushing twice daily. I can feel the dental implant post under my gums, slightly above gumline, but it is not visible, and also does not cause pain. I have my appointment scheduled after 10 days.. Is this situation urgent?
