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?
