“Is it normal for the tooth next to an implant to hurt?”
The tooth next to the implant hurts already 2 days. Is it normal? Should I see a dentist?

You didn't say when your implant was placed, but you should let your dentist know what you're experiencing - it can be something relatively innocuous (like a bite adjustment) or something more serious (like an infection if that tooth). Your dentist should be able to evaluate it, especially if they are experienced in implant restorations and occlusion (study of the "bite").
Hi,
Pain around an implant surgery is often common and can affect the adjacent teeth for a period of time. What's important to make sure is that there is an acceptable distance between the implant and an adjacent tooth. Pain persisting after two weeks from surgery that is not getting any better should be followed up with a visit to the dentist who placed the implant. Be sure to follow all instructions given by the dentist office.
Hope this helps.
