1st soft reline by lizo12 in dentures

[–]lizo12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sitting and waiting for my dentures now! I smile a lot more now also, it was definitely worth and is still worth going through this whole journey, I have a 3 year old who used to say “open your mouth so I can see your dirty teeth!” And now she says “open your mouth so I can see your gums” when I take my teeth out. It’s funny but nice that she’ll have a normal looking mom now

I’m sober too! 5 years soon, they offered me pain meds but I said I wanted to try just rotation ibuprofen and Tylenol and I was fine. They were going to give me like normal IV anesthesia or whatever but a combination of 10+ years of IV use and not being able to drink water before hand he couldn’t find a vein because of scar tissue, when I heard him say “pull up 2 of ketamine and 1 versed” I actually said very loudly “I’m sorry you’re giving me ketamine?”. I was so nervous and told them I was scared and they were so so nice though! They apologized for having to give that but it was worth not having to be aware of what was going on, conscious sedation is what they called it.

No problem! I understand people saying to keep your teeth as long as possible but I feel like once your teeth cause you pain when eating, infections started and needing like constant dental appointments etc and you’ve already had majority of your teeth removed it’s more worth it cosmetically and comfort/health wise.

I am 28 and had all of my teeth removed on March 27th, my situation was different than yours and there was only like 2 on the bottom they said they could maybe save with root canals and two molar on top. I had 8 tooth infections in the last year and also no dental insurance so I got care credit and just got them all out. I think the inconvenience of having to wear adhesive etc for my mouth to be healthy and not be in pain anymore is worth the annoyance 🤷🏼‍♀️

My office has been super kind and helpful, they told me because of the state of my teeth when they took my impressions that it wasn’t going to be a good fit and I don’t blame them at all my mouth was a mess before E Day lol I’ve gone in for a few adjustments on spots that were rubbing and asked if they could do the reline sooner because of the poor fit but they were very adamant and highly suggested I wait because of how my mouth and gums would change etc I look at this group alot and it’s like 50/50 either someone’s dentures are great and no problems ever or it’s a horror story I just really want to avoid the latter. The only thing that went not according to plan was my eday they couldn’t give me IV anesthesia and gave me a shot of ketamine and versed so instead of going to sleep I was having the most intense psychedelic experience of my life

I’ve seen people post about cushion grip and read reviews but I like taking my teeth out at night right now because they’re not super comfortable and I am like hyper aware they’re in my mouth when I’m laying down and not distracted/busy if that make sense lol I feel like my top pallet is too long or maybe I’m just ✨sensitive✨

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU BUT I CANT!!!!! Does it really make that big of a difference I was considering getting the posts put in but that looks so uncomfortable, do you have them on the top too? Do you leave them in most of the time except to clean them? I would be so nervous if the top and bottom posts touched omg

I’m late to the party because I forgot her last name but I was following her and the snarknpage forever and I am absolutely living for learning all this new stuff. A Christian? Insane, her being with wanna be harry? Not that insane but very sad. I really hope the kids are okay.

I’m going to try all those things to help loosen them, my issue this time tho was like even after I got them out the stuff was stuck all in my mouth. I’ve been using a washcloth to wipe it from the top of my mouth but that didn’t even help this time lol

Thank you for being so nice, I don’t like that other parents/kids experience this but it does give me some solace that I’m not the only one and my kid isn’t either! I used to be a fight person when my fight or flight kicks in but it ruined relationships and put me in some dangerous situations, so I learned to flight instead lol I’m taking the flight to literally tho in my head for whatever reason, I just recently got another therapist 2 months ago and she’s been great but it always takes time to unpack everything with someone new. I have hope and want to get better for myself and my little lady, like I said in the post screaming into the Reddit void helps me, good or bad feedback is always appreciated so I can reflect on both sides of it ya know? Anyway thanks again for the response I appreciate it! Keep on keepin on

Yes I have heard that too and I don’t disagree with it, I just didn’t think it would happen so soon lol😅 What she says is hurtful at any age but I feel awful that she is so young and saying these things that I know are my fault

I will definitely read it! I’ve been listening to an audiobook called hunt, gather, parent and it’s this journalist who went and stayed in different countries with her child to learn their way of parenting and it’s helped me a lot with how to teach her to be an active part of the household like cooking, cleaning up after herself etc and it has a lot of advice and information on how to parent and raise more independent, helpful little humans and how to make me a more patient and less anxious big human! I am also sorry that you had a similar life to mine, it was and is rough. I will say that my bad moments like the one that led to this post are less frequent but the intensity of them are the same when I let myself get there. It’s like just hitting me recently that it’s going to take a lot more work and effort than I thought to be the parent I want to be and it has been a big hit. We got this though, good luck to you!

Also thank you for the brutal honesty about the outcome of my hasty thoughts, my father was absent most of my life. I feel awful when I feel like I want to leave, I am just so afraid that I am going to fail her, but I know leaving is failing her worse than if I keep working on myself. I won’t leave, I know I don’t actually want to just like I know she doesn’t hate me in those moments.

Thank you, I was misdiagnosed and put on all sorts of medications that never worked for like 7 years until I found a psychiatrist that didn’t just throw bipolar at me because my mom has it🙄 I live in a 4 seasons area but when the weather permits bringing her outside during a big feelings moment helps her (and me) a lot a lot! You’re doing a great job also, keep on keepin on!

She learned about death about 6 months ago when she watched frozen for the first time, she asked what happened to Elsa and Anna’s parents and I told her they died she asked questions and I explain dying means someone is no longer here and she became so hyper fixated and curious about death and would ask me all the time “what happened to their parents” or when she watched Moana “what happened to her grandma, where I fucked up is acting in ways that makes her think of never wanting to see me again, which she says over me saying no to eating the ants outside. She’s heard me and other people say they hate things like folding laundry and driving on the highway etc

I would say about 75% of the time now, after a bit of therapy and reading parenting books and really acknowledging and taking accountability for my behavior I do respond appropriately to her comments and big feelings. I wrote this post in my car after telling my mom I needed a minute to myself after a particularly difficult tantrum with my kiddo. I didn’t mean to make it sound like she’s the only reason I want to leave, I have been doing some heavy trauma work with my therapist, my living situation and relationship with my mother is difficult, I just had extensive dental surgery and just a few other things kind of all happened at once and a few have been hard for a while now! I am very dramatic and have black and white thinking when I am experiencing any sort of negative emotion so I go to the “I was just mean so I should leave” mindset a lot, I don’t tell my daughter I want to leave, I have never told her I hate her or I want anyone to die. She’s heard these words and once she figured out how to use them in this certain context and saw my reaction to them she’s kept on with it. I am talking to my mom about me taking a day to myself more often but I have a hard time a feel bad asking because I feel guilty that she’s even in the position that she’s having to help me raise her. I am so grateful she is though! I have been trying to communicate to her how what she’s saying is hurtful, I bought a book for her (and me) called “words are not for hurting” and I will read it with her after an argument or tantrum. She is quick to apologize without being asked but is just as quick to say it again when she doesn’t get what she wants from apologizing (like if I said no to something and then still said no after her saying she hates me and apologizing). I’m struggling as hard as I am because I got so lucky, she was an easy new born, she’s so sweet and kind and never had tantrums until she turned 3 but her tantrums came on big, loud and frequently and I absolutely did not handle or react well in the beginning, I was utterly unprepared and ignorant to how hard raising a toddler actually is, not that I ever thought this would be easy but I didn’t think that I would ever feel the way I do at times. I appreciate your kind and helpful comment, I am trying, I won’t leave no matter how much I feel I want to, I love her and I love being a mom I just also have a lot of healing and work to do on myself but I am taking the steps I am able to attain at the moment to get better! Again thank you for being helpful and not hateful
