                        Hi,  I've had three dental implants.  Two took and one did not.  I had repeated infections and had to go on antibiotics.  Maybe that's what you need to get rid of the pain.  This is going on with me for 1 1/2 years now and it is so far gone that the one that didn't take can't be removed at this point.  I just had my 8th surgery and I feel for you.  Sorry.........I hope you get better soon and I hope the same for me.  You are not alone.
