it may or may not pop-- the important question is where is it coming from?
It was my maxillo facial surgeon who prescribed the antibiotics and I have been on them for 2 full days. The bump has become more concentrated and larger and looks as if (like a pimple) it is going to pop. Do you think it needs to be drained or should I let it come to a head on its own? If it does pop/break open, what should I do?
the oral surgeon or other dentst who placd the fixtures should take films and evaluate the issue. If u are not satisfied with the answer you get, get an opinion from an ORAL SURGEON who places alot of implants. The last thing you want is to let an implant related problem go untreated. Your narrative certainly makes me feel like somethng imay be awry-- trust your insticts.
Was there any thought that one or both of the adjacent teeth may need root canal therapy.I would think it would be a good idea if an x-ray is taken and the vitality of the teeth are checked.
