Q. Hi, i had a extraction recently and was fitted with a plate. that was about 6 days ago and im still in alot of pain, also the plate is very uncomforable and i keep getting very thirsty. Could you give me advice on make it the plate more comfortable, i dont like the poligrip so dont like to wear it! My dentist also said i wouldnt be able to get fitted for my crown until 6 months……can i ask him to do this sooner?

A. It seems like a long time to wear the denture but sometimes the bone can take that long to heal. Maybe ask your dentist to adjust the plate to make it more comfortable or to perhaps try a different temporary tooth such as an adhesive bridge.
