What Causes Severe Pain In The Gums After A LANAP Surgery?

two months after LANAP surgery I caused great pain by brushing with a pick between right lower molar and an implant. The pain has caused more than a week of great pain, as well as insomnia. I have gone back. to soft, non-sicy food, no more using of picks, but it seems not to affect the pain level. I use Listerine. Can it be causing it? What can it be? Unfortunately I can't go back to my dentist because for the next 3 weeks I'm on vacation. Can alcohol be exacerbating the problem? I drink wine and beer.

Hello,

It looks like infection in the area of gum between the tooth and implant. Other cause can be tooth decay.

It can confirm with an x-ray and clinical examination and, then only it can be exactly said what is the cause of this. So, my suggestion is to consult an Emergency dentist and get evaluated.

For now, you can take a course of antibiotics like Augmentin and painkillers like Ketorolac or Tramadol to reduce pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
