Flippers are....what can I say? They destroy your self esteem, make you gag, you can't eat and you want to rip them out of your mouth as soon as you can. I saw this post and it was years old, however, I thought it might help someone.
I had some teeth broken in an accident and then some more broke off. I had really nice teeth. Dental insurance is pointless. I am getting two dental implants....and I cannot wait.

I guess you would say it is in the extraction site itself, but on the side.
Anyways, I didn’t know if you will always have some discomfort with them. It feels better then it did when I first started wearing it, but I just want it to feel comfortable. I even went back to the oral surgeon because I was still having discomfort and was worried about the healing and he said everything was healing fine.
Any suggestions? I am definitely looking forward to my dental implant!
