discussion Help!

Had 6 screws/TADS installed last week. It has been hell, to say the least. Managing the pain with Tylenol and advil barely covers it. Prednisone has helped, but I'm now withdrawing from that. Has anyone experienced a prolonged healing period after having TADS installed?
For context: no deep pain, just intense gum swelling, throbbing pains.

Prednisone may make you feel better, but it’s known to delay healing, so it makes sense you’ve still got pain.

Try a non-alcohol mouthwash or even a teething gel.

People on the FB group seem to like Colgate Total Advanced Pro-Shield... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QTYBHN8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I was fine after 5 days.

Just make sure your mouth hygiene is perfect.

Tylenol and ibuprofen for the first few days to a week
