Is There Any Chances Of Bleeding After Dental Implant?
I had a dental implant placed 3 days age. For the past two days I been clearing bright red blood from my throat. I have no signs of blood in my mouth or when blowing my nose. I did have an excessive amount of bleeding from the implant site on the first day. Is it possible the blood could be from the implant procedure?

Thanks for sharing your concern with Health Care Magic..!
Implant site should stop bleeding immediately after procedure, however due to various conditions bleeding could be still seen for 24 Hrs. In your case, this is unusual to have the active bleeding after 3 days.
Kindly place a sterile gauge and maintain the pressure for 30 minutes, if bleeding still continues, please visit your implantologist. as there could be possibility of minor blood vessels damage in the soft tissue, which can be corrected by your doctor immediately.
