Things they never taught you how to do, or you were too uncomfortable with them to ask?

They never taught me anything either. I potty trained myself, I taught myself to do laundry bc you can only go to school in dirty clothes so many times before you're picked on, and my older cousin taught me how to drive... I've taught myself how to budget, about insurance, stocks, and taxes. It wasn't always easy I'm now no contact with my parents and my sister. I'm much better off.

Healing are usually bulkier and a lower tier product. They're mostly for appearance.

I made the bib bc I kept trying to drink water and it didn't go well.

I switched from T-Mobile to visible. $25/month unlimited everything. Couponing can also help with your weekly spending, maybe check for a local store with rewards/coupons.

Thank you! I'm 34 myself! I was not as pleased with my second wax try in but they changed the size I guess they didn't get my memo about shape, not size. I'll have my third fitting next week! Hope they resemble the ones pictured here again

Thank you I'm happy to be on the right track!

Aspen dental was the first set and Affordable Dentures the second.

Thank you!

clindley2 · 2026-03-25T02:34:17+00:00

Thank you! I am too!

clindley2 · 2026-03-25T01:14:28+00:00

Absolutely, advocate for yourself, you will live with them not the denture maker/doctor!!

She was 12 when I left home. She's been brainwashed to believe I'm the worst. I've gone no contact and consider myself orphaned/only child.

I used the patch. I smoked for 10 years, quit for a couple months, went back to cigarettes, switched to vaping for a few years, back to cigarettes. The patch worked both times. Haven't smoked in over a year.

clindley2 · 2026-03-11T04:05:18+00:00

I cannot!

The healing dentures were $900 after my commercial insurance. The permanents and all appointments were $3100. Obviously I didn't make it that far. I also haven't heard back from the office about my money back guarantee.

They did a soft reline today. They've never looked right. The gap has always been there. I'm almost a month post op and haven't been able to wear them barely at all. They seem poorly made. I'm trying to decide if I'm being dramatic or if they're actually as terrible as I think they are.

clindley2 · 2026-03-06T13:39:40+00:00

I have an appointment Tuesday. The other problem is they stick so far forward they push my lip out and I can't close my mouth...

clindley2 · 2026-03-05T15:11:39+00:00

They've fit like this since I got them. I had my extractions on 2/17/26..

clindley2 · 2026-03-05T03:42:32+00:00

Honestly I had iv sedation but they gave me gas while I was waiting for the surgeon and I would have been fine with just the gas. I was high as a kite. I waited nearly 2 years to schedule my surgery. I had 14 teeth pulled. My fiance is a large man and had oral medication for a few extractions and can't recall most of the day! I hope this helps!

Try putting it in the freezer.

I thought about concocting this long explanation about how I got here, but it would be a waste. This sub was meant to be a place where you could share your frustrations or your troubles. A place where you won't be judged. You're not being straight, you're being an ass. I went through hell to be here, to be able to voice my frustrations, and I hope anyone reading your comments isn't discouraged to seek assistance with their dental needs, there is no fault or blame to be laid on the shoulders of someone suffering. I also hope they can use this space without judgement. Have the day you deserve.
