Q. Hi,am 36 and have just had 10 bits taken out of my mouth,they weren’t all full teeth due to some of them breaking. I had IV sedation beacause am a very nervous patient at the dentist, so my own dentist referred me to a specialist dentist. My own dentist said the best option for me is to have a plate fitted,am just wondering how long i will have to wait until i have my plate fitted and will it hurt? I had my dental surgery 3 weeks last thursday.,
