Why Does My Tooth Implant Hurt After 5 Years?
Pain in an implant years after placement may be caused by:
- Peri-implantitis: An infection or inflammation of the tissues around the implant.
- Implant Failure: The implant might not have integrated well with the bone.
- Nerve Damage: Long-term nerve issues may cause pain.
- Consult your dentist for evaluation if pain arises years after the implant.
