Tooth implants

About 6/8 weeks ago I started the procedure of getting a couple of teeth implants. But ever since that has happened I’ve lost my sense of smell slightly and my right nostril is always blocked. I thought I had a cold and got a blocked nose but that wasn’t the case. It happened ever since I got the implants.

Has this happened to anyone? I’m thinking that when they put the implants in the dentist might have done something to my sinus, am i wrong. Any advice would be great!

Sounds like more infection. I have friends that did that procedure and it took months for the healing to be complete. Get some xrays and be sure on the sinus issues too. Good luck with it and OUTCH.

@heavyone2 Did you have that procedure?

@sree251 not personally , but a friend did. It took several months to get the infection cleared.

@heavyone2 You are in your sixties and no implants yet? Good for you. Americans your age have already lost more than 12 teeth.

@heavyone2 No flossing? I use the waterpik after the flossing and brushing.

I intend to give back to God what he gave me.
