Asked By:amana50 in Woodbridge, VA

Sorry to post again but I don't know how to update photos. I found the implant is exposed and not sure if this is infection, gum recession or from a car accident last month . I never even thought it could be from the car but it was totaled. I did not notice it until after the car accident ( my fault ) Now I don't know what to think. Can you please look at the pic and let me know if its going to come out . Can it still be okay with exposure like this ? Im very scared , Thanks so much again .
