Severe jaw pain after having a plate fitted

[KatyMac]

I had a plate fitted today (it was made precovid)
And it was very unusual feeling but I used ro have a brace so I expected a certain amount of discomfort
I am a wuss about the dentist anyway

So about 3 hrs later my whole side of my mouth, my jaw, my nose and my eye suddenly started with horrific pain
I have taken a cocodamol and it has only eased enough to cope with still bad - I may take a second tablet (very rare for me) I took the plate out

I'm guessing this isn't normal but what is happening

That doesn't sound right at all! I have a plate...they have never given me any pain..just discomfort at first. I would see a doctor because it could be completely unrelated to the plate.

Well plate out and pain killers worn off and I'm ok
I have eaten and drunk a cuppa with no pain

I'm not sure if it was a muscle sasm or maybe something sinus-y

I'll try the plate again in the morning and go from there i think

Has anyone any other ideas?

It probably just needs some adjustment. Though it probably will be causing a fair amount of tension, particularly if you're feeling uncomfortable.

Adjustment from the dentist you mean or in my brain/mind?

I haven't worn it today because I was drviing and an attack like that could be dangerous but I thought I'd wear t for half an hour now and build it up gradually in case it was just too much?

How.long is.it
Could it be pressing on a.nerve

It's at the front and slightly the side

I had it in for 30 mins last night and this morning I am aiming for an hour

My top teeth feel under a lot of tension tho'

And now its disturbed a back tooth and I am in loads of pain

I have 2 very busy work days this weekend and it'll be shit with tooth ache and no front tooth!
