Dental implants are still painful a few days later, and are considered to be related to factors such as incomplete wound healing or co-infection. It is recommended to relieve the symptoms through general treatment as well as medication.
1. The wound is not completely healed: the gums will be damaged during the dental implant surgery, which will stimulate the periodontal nerve and trigger pain. It takes time for the gum tissue to repair itself. If the patient’s toothache is not very obvious after a few days of dental implantation and there are no other clinical symptoms, it is considered to be related to the fact that the wound has not healed completely.
It is recommended to pay attention to oral hygiene, regular work and rest, diet can be appropriate to eat some soft texture, low temperature and less stimulation of the fluid or semi-fluid food. Through the body’s own conditioning toothache symptoms can disappear on their own.
2. Related to the combined infection: after dental implant surgery, if you do not pay attention to daily care and oral hygiene, bacteria and other pathogens invade into the wound and cause infectious lesions. Inflammation caused by infection can stimulate the gums and periodontal nerves to trigger toothache symptoms. If the patient’s toothache symptoms are progressively aggravated, and the physical examination reveals that the gums are red, swollen and have increased secretion, it is more likely to be considered as a combined infection.
After the diagnosis of combined infection, need to actively follow the doctor’s instructions oral amoxicillin capsules, metronidazole tablets and other antibiotics, or through the infusion of penicillin sodium, tinidazole injection and other antibiotics for anti-infection treatment. During the period can be with ibuprofen tablets and other pain medication for symptomatic treatment.
