Tooth extraction
#1
Tooth extraction
I have had a front tooth taken out and its left the side of my nose tender

I have to use Full Face masks,  because of nasal blockage, but every mask i have tried is painful to use

I thinking that either reducing the pressure from 12-16 so that I can loosen the straps or buying a hybrid mask 

Any other options and if I reduce the pressure what range would you suggest?

RE: Tooth extraction
I may have stumbled on one answer and that is too increase the pressure which seems strange but I think inflating the cushion more lifts it off the tender spot

But still any other ideas

RE: Tooth extraction
Just do what takes to be comfortable, missing a few nights at pressure is not significant. Your main objective is to get a good nights sleep.

How tight is this mask being adjusted to? Snug OK, tight shouldn't be a requirement.

RE: Tooth extraction
Increasing the minimum pressure to 14 has worked and gave me a good night using a F&P Vitera
I dont think this would have worked on the F20 which has a firmer cushion
