Hi tbrown,
Glad to hear that there is no more bleeding when you brush! Hopefully it was just an abraision.
The hard bump or spot above the implant can be a bony protrusion and nothing to be concerned about. If the size changes or it comes and goes, then it would be wise to have it checked at your next dental appt.
Hopefully everything is clear sailing from this point on.... all the best to you and your soon to be new little one

My dentist has never said anything about it, although I've never specifically pointed it out either...but since she does check my gums at each checkup, she couldn't miss it. My last pan. xray was a little under 2yrs ago; she'll do that every 3 years and I do the basic xrays at every other cleaning. I'm not really concerned about the bump really, but I'll mention it at my next cleaning in May. And it may not be considered a "bump," perhaps just a spot. :/
And no more blood with my last several brushings, so it really could have been that I was just brushing too hard. If it has occured on the bottom gums, I wouldn't have thought twice about but since it seemed to occur on my uppers, it concerned for a second. But as I said, the dentist did tell me that my upper gums could still bleed as a result from the pregnancy, even though I have no real teeth up there any longer, just the implants.
