What is peri-implantitis?
Posted on: September 21, 2022
Peri-implant disease (or peri-implantitis) is a condition where bacteria build up around the gum tissue surrounding dental implants. Symptoms include:
- Pain and inflammation
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Bad taste in the mouth
- Bleeding gums
- Wobbly dental implants
If caught early enough, peri-implantitis can often be treated by a dentist. However, in the late stages of the disease, it may cause tissue damage, bone loss and dental implant failure.
