Bleeding is not an indication your implant is failing. Signs to look for include pus coming from area around the implant, pain can be an indication here is a problem(implant failure can be painless), but the sign that I would be concerned about is mobility or movement of the implant. A simple xray can confirm the implant is in excellent shape. You must return to the surgeon who placed the implant if you still have concerns. I’m sure you know that implants have surpass success rate in non smokers. If here is a time that it is vital to avoid smoking it is immediately with it is placed. If the implant is failing quitting smoking for 6 weeks is not going to save it now.

I got a dental implant a year or so ago and I just wonder how I’ll know if it’s okay, since here’s no nerve in the fake tooth (obviously). How can I make sure the infection doesn’t come back?

I’ve had an earache and headache for a few days now and I just get frightened that it has to do with the implant.

You can tell if an implant has disastrous in case it has mobility. The downside is that if you do, it’s already too late.
If in doubt, just go to your dentist, and have him take an X-Ray. You can give a preety excellent diagnosis based on that.

your dental implant is doing excellently well…
headache and earache might be due to something else…

If the tooth were infected it would hurt any locally or possbly on the bottom row (does that sometime). you wouyld have a noticable abcess on the gum or possibly bottom. Drinking green tea will help such things dramatically, also rinsing your mouth with grapeseed oil for 5 minutes a day will keep all abcessed at bay. (squish it around).
