I was so happy when the day came for my teeth ( bad shape.) to be pulled.I loved the idea of a beautiful smile with dentures in. Now I wish that I had my old teeth back, even in bad shape.
It has been one week and I still can't wear the lower one because it is so painful. When I try them on, I feel like I have too many teeth in my mouth.
I can't chew because of the pain. Its just rediculous.
When I brushed my tongue yesterday and had the uppers in my hand,I thought
This is what its come to. I am depressed anyway because of all the crap I've been through and now I have this. I remember when my Grandma use to wash her dentures and I would get groosed out.

Dear Doodle Bug. I understand you 1000%, yes 1000%. I too was so excited to have my teeth pulled, I had 14 out on September 3 of this year. I was so sick after. Just cleaning them was a trauma, Yes, my teeth looked better, and I knew that I would never have a toothache again so I thought. No so, I am a strong person when it comes to pain, (I've had six kids) but this was nothing like I had before, I was literally shaking when I had to clean them. And yes talk about gross, I could not look in my mouth out of disgust. What happened, I wore braces as an adult. It is about six weeks and I still cannot eat. My husband grinds it up. I guess that means no more out to dinner. I have a friend that I didn't know she had dentures, now I understand her eating habits. This is so depressing, I make the kids fall cookies and can't eat one, no matter how small. I have a feeling this is not going to change. If you need a ear, I am here. Lisa Rose
