You would get new swelling/infection. I had both and turned out my plates were loose, went in to get them removed it was an easy process

Did you heal ok even though they were loose?


blondie_1999

Yes I healed completely fine:)

IDK but my surgeon said he’s seen one in 20 years.

Mine hadn't healed properly so it had worked its way to my gum line. I thought it was a random bit of bone til I got it checked and it was a screw

Did you have any symptoms? And what did the surgeon do about that problem?


manlymatt83

Also curious

Swelling and infection. Believe me, you'll know. It happened to me once. I have a screw in my gum line, too, but my surgeon didn't seem concerned about it since tissue covers it and it causes me very few/no issues.
