Hello,

I wanted to introduce myself. I just had all my bottom teeth removed and implants placed two weeks ago. I'm making a good adjustment but I wasn't prepared to have a loose denture for 3-5 months. I'm in a new (3 month old relationship) and I'm very self conscious about my lower denture moving around while we kiss. I've only told my new boyfriend that I've had work done on my teeth and I can't chew properly for awhile. My close friend thinks I should tell him because she doesn't believe in "secrets". My sense is that I have a right to privacy but I don't want to feel like I'm holding back and worried that he'll notice my denture because it feels loose when we're kissing.

So my two questions are - privacy or disclosure. Also, is there any way to secure lower dentures better?

Thanks.
