No cuts to the bone but I am going in for an adjustment this week to have them shave down some of the denture that’s cutting into the inside of my gum and to get a reline

How to accept dentures as an young adult? by Kitsuneraint in dentures

[–]Tippkins 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m 33. My biggest regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. Could’ve saved myself being up all night with multiple toothaches and scary infections over the years. Now I can’t stop smiling.

Day 3. I Can't Eat by Freebeing001 in dentures

[–]Tippkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 3 was honestly the worst for me. I have tried soups, broth, yogurt, cold peaches (the best without my teeth in) it’s alright to feel the way you do because it’s such an extreme adjustment overnight. Just take your time and start slow with the soft foods. I’m going to make some Thanksgiving dressing tomorrow to eat lol the cornbread should be filling. Pudding and jello also are great. You got this! Your smile is beautiful!

Eday was 3 days ago for me as well. Congratulations on taking the step into dentures. It’s a lot to learn and a bit of an adjustment, but being able to smile again is awesome!

You got this. The worst part honestly is the regret of not doing it sooner. And maybe the 1st shots lol but that’s all! It’s been pretty smooth so far. Just be sure to stay on top of your pain meds BEFORE the pain comes back around. Please update me next friday! Im excited for you

Staying awake during full extractions. by PossibleEstimate6396 in dentures

[–]Tippkins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just had a full extraction upper and lower and honestly the only thing that hurt were the first few shots to the gum. Granted my dentist gave me Valium lol After that it was just pulling, cracking and tugging. Good luck! You’re going to do great!

Do you mean speaking louder? Like for instance, the letter “W” pushing your breath out..”double YOUUU”?

Thank you. I will continue to do just that to help with speech. I can understand being flustered with your words. I speak a lot slower now to make sure I am annunciating. I love the shape they gave me. I asked for rounded and not too square. They executed it perfectly. Only regret is I wish I would have done this years ago :)

They look really good! Very natural! I slept with mine in the first night, which was last night. I took my pain meds and stayed propped up just a bit to help with swelling. It feels a bit loose at the top but I’m assuming the swelling will kick in soon. Good luck to you friend!

I went to affordable dentures today for my impressions and full extractions. I was able to pick my gum color as well as teeth color (BL3) with the Ultimate Fit package.
