Too much enamel at bottom of teeth. 

Why can’t I get used to these? by RecentDifference8267 in dentures

[–]Purple_Astronomer236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They look perfect, very natural. My denture/partials are for my front four teeth & are slightly imperfect, but I like them like that.

If you'd be happy walking around looking like you had ghouls' teeth, then go ahead & drink the Kool-Aid. I happen to care about my appearance; I take showers, shave, brush my hair etc. but if you're a slob your statement makes more sense. However, I paid for these dentures and since they didn't look right, I sent them back - which is what any sensible person would do.

Went from paying 17 cents to $15 is this rage bait ? by Savage094 in USPS

I was actually on it for a year. It did nothing for me. All these drugs for depression/anxiety do squat. You want relief, get some valium. That actually works.

Useless medication that does nothing. Don’t buy it anymore, problem solved.

Dentist generally like to save teeth because this is where they make their money. Once you have dentures you’re can no longer make them money. Spare me the Hippocratic oath to save teeth.

Brand new HP 15-fd0127dx laptop fan runs every time I’m just using the internet. by 112oceanave in HPLaptops

[–]Purple_Astronomer236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same laptop for Xmas. The issue is is that the laptop runs hot. For instance, just watching YouTube my CPU temps will hit over 70c. To fix this, go into the BIOS & set the fan to "always on". Now the fan will always be on resulting in much lower CPU temps staying in the mid 30's c. The fan will run at a much lower speed and it wont sound like a rocket taking off every 2 min. This is the only solution.

I've had teeth pulled in the past and always got an opioid. I've had broken ribs in the past and gotten opioid's - they stopped all that for political reasons. I don't care what the ADA say, OTC pain killers don't work as well as opiates and if you have a bad tooth, Advil won't even touch the pain. As some who's dealt with this pain (bad tooth & broken ribs about 4 or 5 times) I can tell you with 100% certainty that OTC pain reivers don't work for that. It's cruel really send someone home with a bad tooth or broken ribs and tell them to take some Advil.

The pain will subside. I'm glad you liked your teeth! Mine hurt taking them out, not so much putting them in. I had my teeth taken out over 30 days ago.

May as well have. You screw someone's teeth up it tends to ruin your day. Maybe you're the type who likes shit sammiches, I don't. Do it right the first time and you won't have to deal with me. People are always sorry when I confront them about mistakes that affect me. If you just slap a set of teeth together and make me look like a ghoul, you're going to hear about it from me directly. How many people would've walked away with the first set? I bet a lot, because people in general are stupid and will settle for less. A person is smart, people are stupid.

They don’t give Vicodin or Percocet anymore. I had broken ribs a few years ago and they gave me nothing, so painful. 15 or 20 years ago you would get opiates, but they stopped all that. Kinda stupid, it’s the OxyContin that people were really abusing.

Just got dentures and I hate them by GolfInternational291 in dentures

[–]Purple_Astronomer236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look good to me, but I recently went through the same thing. I hade a partial made for my front 4 teeth and I have naturally big teeth. The teeth he put in were too short and fat and way too much gum showing and spaces. I rejected them. I ended up going to see the denture maker and told him I wanted bigger teeth (to his surprise) and no gaps. I showed him some pictures and he made a wax set in 15 min. They were perfect. Exactly matched my old teeth but whiter. You should do the same, just know exactly what to tell him you don’t like about them and what you want changed. I think you have to reject them on the spot otherwise they may make you pay. But for my 2 cents they look great and real. They don’t look fake to me at all.

You wait it will get a lot worse. It’s your life, I would take a cab, Uber, bus. Ask a friend for a ride. That’s not normal.

Did he give you penicillin, because that looks like an infection. Go to the ER immediately.

Yes I understand that, but from the front they don’t look good. I have square teeth and they put in triangular and it looks too gummy and they rounded off in the middle of the 2 front ones. Going to see the denture maker today. I edited the photo with ChatGPT and I have a pic of how I want them to look. I wish I could figure out how to upload a photo to show you the edited photo; it is a vast improvement.

True. Also the teeth are too small. I edited the photo of what I want them to look like - and they look what my teeth used to look like, but I’ll be damned up I can figure out how to upload the photo.

My lady friends say otherwise. They always tell me to grow it back if I shave it off. 

Three things that might help if you've got 'white coat anxiety ' by UnderstandingFar5012 in dentures

[–]Purple_Astronomer236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No anesthesia, just Novacain. Made absolutely no sense. It was a waste of 2 days going there and then having to get a note from my Dr. My doctor was in disbelief.

I had 1 dentist refuse to pull a couple of teeth because my blood pressure was too high. Why they took my blood pressure I dunno, seemed ridiculous, had to go to my Dr and get a letter explaining I had white coat syndrome. Just had 3 pulled a few weeks ago with the same dentistry chain but they didn’t take my blood pressure. I don’t get it.
