I Am 26 And Will Be Getting Top Dentures Soon...help!!??!!?? Posted: 07-29-06 22:35pm
:( I have been waiting for this for a
while, and over the past 3 months my
dentist has pulled all of my top teeth in
the back, and I have an appt. In two
weeks for the rest to be extracted and to
receive my denture. I am very scared and
nervous, I can't wait to be able to smile
like I used to. But I don't know what to
expect with the "denture", I could use all
of the advise I can get. They have to be
better than what I am going through now,
did I mention I am also single, and hope
that this won't destroy my love life
forever...Thanks again for the help

Hi, I believe that as long as your mouth
always appears clean and you do not have
bad breath your love life will not suffer.
As we all get older, teeth deteriorate,
and no one is inmune to age! Avoid
excessive saliva hanging from the corner
of your mouth, and food stuck in your
teeth. Follow these rules and your love
life should be ok. Hope I was helpful.

Hi
i am a young denture wearer to and have
full dentures I got them when I was 18 due
to a genetic weakness. I love my dentures
which I have had for a while now. They
felt big in my mouth but after a while
having them in 24/7 except for cleaning I
got used to them and now I can taqlk and
eat whatever I want. Bad breath will, if
you do not have any problems with your
stomach, come from food deposites under
the dentures or if you have not cleaned
the dentures. If you clean your dentures
with fluor paste that also kills bacteria
at least two times a day for ex. Morning
and evening you should be safe. Be open
with your dentures and tell in forhand
your date that you have dentures. Of
course not the first date but when you
have a relationship that make you kiss. I
have been open with it and have not got
aanything other than understanding and
acceptance. Some have even been very
interested and have even asked to look at
them. Dentures is not the end of the
world, on the contrary.
Good luck and know that the upstart can be
difficultbut go to the dentist every time
you get a sore spot to let him agjust
them. It is very done very fast and you
have a better life.
Good luck

Hi,
well i'm in my 30's and a few years ago
had a bike accident several years ago and
lost one front tooth and another was
straightend and "saved" I also had a
missing one in the side from childhood.
A couple of years went by and then I lost
that one too. So I had a stark choice
live with a hugh gap or have an upper
denture. I put it off for a while before
getting the denture fitted. Imediately
even though I hated wearing it it was nice
not to have a gap and look attractive
again. I got used to it quicker than I
thought. The worse part was learning to
speak properly again. Now I don't even
think about it and draw some pleasure from
the fact that I can't burn the top of my
mouth like other people can.
I assume you must have it by now? Let us
know how are you are getting on?
