thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the painful irritation could be secondary to the infection of the implant site or some allergic reaction like allergic stomatitis or lichenoid reaction to the tooth paste or any restorations or any food items. consult your oral physician to rule out the above said causes. and treatment can be initiated based on the cause. if is because of the infection of the gum or implant site cleaning of teeth, if it is allergic stomatitis or lichenoid reaction then topical steroids with discontinuation of the food or things causing allergic reactions. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
