What happened to my gum? (Photo)

CindyLiuDec 1, 2017
Did a Dental implant 2.5months back and everything seem to be fine until recently. My implant tooth give off a foul smell causing my breath to smell bad. One side of my gum looks like it’s shrinking and a little swollen. There isn’t any discomfort except for the smell that’s giving off from that particular tooth. Due to I am pregnant now my dentist advice me to just gaggle with salt water as there’s nothing much beside antibiotic which could help.

It's my advice to discuss your concern with your orthodontist or take a second opinion from another orthodontist. As your case is interdisciplinary [ ortho and implant], so search dentist accordingly. it's my advice to go for Invisalign with the implant for more predictable and fast outcome.
