You should certainly contact the Dr. regarding the 'sore spots', they could be bone spurs, pieces of the tooth that may not have come out at extraction, it is similar to a splinter, generally the gum will work the spur out, but sometimes it may need to be taken out by your Dr. Don't be alarmed, it is not uncommon. One thing I learned through this is to contact the Dr. at any time you feel discomfort, that is what they are there for! you are not being a 'bother', you are taking care of yourself, so pick up the phone to them.

Are you doing the salt water rinses daily? I noticed that really helped my healing process and I still do it daily during my cleaning routine.

I am just a patient and Bryanna will also post to you and she is GREAT! So keep a watch for her answer.

I wish you the best during your procedures and this is a great place to come for some comfort!

Looking forward to your posts and keep a positive attitude that once it is all done and said, you will look in the mirror with a great big smile and will be healthier as well.

Good luck

Thank you. I read some of the other post and really am glad I found this forum to connect with other people who are, or have gone through this procedure. It has been a long journey and we still have a ways to go before it is complete.

I am having to take it slow because i have some other unresolved health issues that keep me from finishing it all at once.

I am hopeful about getting the teeth pulled that this will help my overall health , although I do not believe it is the cause of all the unresolved on going issues.

Yes, i use the salt water rinses all the time.

Tell me how your procedures have gone so far and are you in full dentures or partials. I will be getting a full set on the top and a partial on the bottom.

If it becomes necessary then I may have to get a full set on the bottom and if so i would consider implants to snap it onto at that time. It is all very confusing to me.
