Since you were sedated, you don't remember anything. Leave the partial
in until Monday when you can see the person who made it for you. I
assume your general dentist. He/she will remove it, check fore sore
spots and make adjustments. You will also be given verbal home care
instructions. You can brush your teeth now and start flossing.

Good luck.

Well as I said in my other thread, its done I was totally out of it -so
totally out that I don't know if the dentist spoke to me or not.I don't even
recall how I got home. My son who was with me said they told him I have to
keep it in for 24/48 hrs, if it is sore to go back on Monday,and that it
will take a couple of weeks to settle.

Well all well and good, but the office is closed until Monday morning, I
didn't receive (or lost) an aftercare sheet, so I am clueless. Do I leave it
in for 24 or 48 hours? Do I rinse with anything? How the hell is it even
supposed to come out? What do I do to get it out? What if I cant get it back
in? Can I clean it with toothpaste when I wash my other teeth or do I have
to avoid it? I have no idea what I am doing I hate it already
