Hello,

I cracked a tooth about a year ago and started getting this replaced with an implant. A month after the implant was started I developed some severe pain radiating from the implant site. After three weeks the implant was removed to try and stop the pain.

I am still getting pain, the gum around the implant is sore to touch, especially up at the top outside of the gumline (it was an upper implant).

Is this normal healing or has something gone wrong? I'm on holiday so can't see my normal dentist right now. The pain is very distracting.

Any help would be much appreciated :-)
