lower gums look inflamed after implants

Q. I had 5 lower teeth pulled. Now no natural teeth on lower. 6 implants were installed during same procedure about 7 weeks ago. Lower gums still look inflamed. Why??

A. Are you wearing a lower denture on top of the implants?  This may be irritating the gum around the implants.  I would see your dentist as soon as possible
