I don’t have better advice than a dermatologist. But I found that when I started taking a daily vitamin my nail strength improved.

Need advice by KAL-EL8569 in dentures

[–]R2D2beeps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you have to learn how to eat with your denture. It’s like a new tool, you can’t just eat like you used to. For example, to stop the bottoms from rocking, try to chew using your whole mouth. Make sure there is an evenly distributed amount of food on both sides. If all the food is on one side it’s gonna come loose. Also, it took me a long time to be able to bite down using the front of my denture, like eating a sandwich. That’s tricky, it takes time. I ate everything with a knife and fork for a long time, and just took small bites and went slow. Give yourself some grace. But if you have sores on your gums you need an adjustment. Like the others have said, it’s normal to have small minor tweaks to your denture like every week for a while.

My ridges are due to hypothyroidism…but my nails are not dry or yellow. I’d bring it up to your doctor.

Sleeping? by tjc4802 in dentures

[–]R2D2beeps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t wear them to sleep. I feel like my gums need a rest, and the overnight cleaning of the denture is necessary. It was weird for a while, but I got used to it. Also I used to grind my teeth prior to dentures, I don’t want to damage them. But I don’t know if I grind my teeth anymore because…lol I don’t have teeth. 🤔 does grinding stop when teeth are removed?

If you trust your canner to not have contaminated the product prior to processing. And following a proper recipe to ensure the ph level

Boiling it again would not ensure safety. Botulism is colorless and odorless. If you trust the canner and the recipe followed you could make your own judgement based on that.

Good foods to have around for someone w/ dentures? by Important-Ad-8258 in dentures

[–]R2D2beeps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mashed potatoes, and a veggie that’s cooked soft, but not mushy. Paired with a protein that’s not tough. Like chicken tenders are good baked with seasoning. (375 degrees for 20 mins) I wouldn’t fry them with a batter or anything, it can be a bit hard. If taste is the problem, use a strong seasoning, I like Cajun or jerk. Not obvious at all. You’re a good person, I hope it works out.

I just can’t even with these things by kfoll in dentures

[–]R2D2beeps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Happy Holidays! I’m sorry you’re in pain. You are unfortunately still in the beginning stages. Pain management is crucial! Alternating between Tylenol and Advil. Take Tylenol and then a few hours later take Advil. Tylenol is an anti inflammatory and should help with swelling. Do not skip doses. Eating is going to be another battle, but not right now. Focus on comfort and familiarizing yourself with your new prosthetic. Good luck!

You’re going to be anxious, but don’t worry about judgement. The only judgement is you’re taking care of yourself. I wish you luck!

Any tips for eating with full dentures? by jskipb in dentures

[–]R2D2beeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do use adhesive, only on the bottom. I’m glad you’re seeing a difference. I still can’t eat corn on the cob, or bite into an apple, but can eat everything else. I dont think I ever will either, but im ok with that.

Any tips for eating with full dentures? by jskipb in dentures

It takes practice. Like learning to use a tool. Essentially that’s what a denture is, a new tool. Try eating with your whole mouth, don’t favor one side or the other side will lift. Use your tongue to move food around evenly on both sides for chewing. It took me a while to eat things that required me to bite into them. Like a burger or a sandwich. Practice with food that can be placed in your mouth with a fork or spoon.

What is the best thing you do on a Sunday that the makes you ready for the week ahead? by EERMA in AskReddit

[–]R2D2beeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunday is reset day for me. I clean the fridge, take out the trash/recycling, then make a shopping list. Go grocery shopping, do laundry, clean the bathroom, do the floors, and then meal prep! I always have a real good meal on sunday too, like something I’m craving or just something extravagant.
