I recently got a dental implant to replace my missing tooth. I love the way it looks, but I\u2019ve noticed some blood around it and on my tooth brush when I brush. There’s not really any pain associated with the bleeding and it doesn’t seem like the implant is loose or anything. When I started the implant process, my dentist told me that I should think about giving up smoking because I would have better long-term success with the implant. I\u2019ve tried to quit, but it\u2019s just not working. It\u2019s been about three months… is bleeding normal or could my smoking be causing it? — Mike<\/p>\n

Mike,
\nSmoking is always risky when it comes to your health, and hopefully your dentist explained that it can also make replacing teeth with dental implants<\/a> more complicated \u2013 but it certainly isn\u2019t impossible. Long-term, smoking can cause periodontal disease as well as bone and tissue loss in your mouth. Nicotine can also reduce the blood flow in the mouth \u2013 all of which can increase the risk of implant failure.<\/p>\n

Having said that, it’s unlikely that smoking would be the direct cause of the bleeding. New dental implants are very sensitive, and it can take several months for them to heal completely. Do you tend to brush hard? If so, that could definitely cause some bleeding around the implant. If the implant was failing, you would likely have pain or notice that the implant itself feels loose. If it’s just a little bleeding, try a lighter brushing technique and see if it that helps. If you\u2019re concerned, talk with your dentist to be sure.<\/p>\n
