Bone graft for a dental implant
This may be a stupid question, but I know very little about bone grafts. I got a "self-healing" bone graft for an implant, and I was wondering if there are any sort of benefitial bacteria or whatnot that I could inadvertantly kill by peroxiding the area. My jawbone doesn't seem to be healing, and my gumline has receded quite a bit. I can see some of the root of the adjacent tooth and the metal part of my implant (the part that is supposed to be sunk into my jawbone) but my oral surgeon said it's nothing to worry about, just keep everything clean and peroxide the area. Am I using too much peroxide perhaps? Or is there something bigger I should be worrying about? Should I be worried at all?

listen to your doctors.if you begin to dobt them for any reason, get another opinion. do not take matters into your own hands.

Firstly I do not know what you mean by a self-healing bone graft. You will not kill any beneficial bacteria by using the peroxide but I think you can over use.If the oral surgeon feels that there is nothing to worry about then I think you should follow his advice.
