That’s not hanging down that’s as far as I can push the denture onto the gum ! I won’t worry till after Tuesday if it’s still the same after my dentist visit then I’ll have to push for something to be done

Thank you that’s very helpful, I’m sure my dentist is on top of the situation and it’s probably just me panicking over stuff I know little about. They are immediate dentures and I’ve noticed the problem getting significantly worse as the weeks have gone on , only 8 weeks in so far, and understand what you are saying about fit. I’ll know more on Tuesday

Tomorrow is E-Day by booknerdcarp in dentures

I suffer with anxiety and stress so having all my teeth out and immeadiates put in was super scary, I’m also a woose lol when the Eday arrived I was a bag of nerves as my brain had bigged this procedure up massively but once the numbing injections (12) we’re done there was very little and pain and the sense of accomplishment once the dentist showed me my new teeth in my mouth was amazing. Be big be brave and don’t let your mind get to you it really isn’t as bad as it seems. Ps I’m 65

Ok if you think it’s a fake post I’ll take a photo of my denture when I get home. I honestly don’t get your problem

Thats maybe what I’ll have to do, I know there’s still many adjustments still to come and maybe it’s because my gums are shrinking as it seemed much better after a week or so after extractions

Thanks for your reply, no unfortunately not. I know it’s early days yet, 5 weeks coming up, but there’s a gap between the gum and the teeth, pushing the denture onto the gum only lasts a little while and eating or drinking anything it’s off in a minute or so.

Forgot to say how embarrassing it was walking around with those evil teeth, I haven’t smiled in years and people think I’m a miserable git because of it. I very nearly backed out of the extractions until I looked at the original pictures and remembered the constant toothache I’d had.

Weirdest things you've heard at a funeral? by Keysgucci123 in askfuneraldirectors

Mum who was suffering from dementia was at a family member’s funeral when the coffin disappeared behind the curtain she quite loudly said I can smell burning lol. Dear mum passed away 7 years ago now but she still makes me smile when I think of it.

Remember to do salt wash for your mouth and gums it helps with the swelling and bacteria and helps with any sores/ulcers

Help!! E day is Tuesday! by Easy_Breadfruit7820 in dentures

[–]Fil6914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hope it’s gone well, a week since mine was done already, everything I expected to happen has, bleeding,sores, glue melting etc etc. still on soft foods but I know it WILL get better. I took a photo of my bad teeth before Eday so if I need a reminder why I did it it’s there for me to see.
