OH WOW, soooo much better! I love my dentist
I was soo uncomfortable and trying to deal, but called him yesterday, went in the p.m. and he sanded down a bulge on the side that was kicking the plate out and shortened the back of the plate and when I put them back in....wow...what a HUGE difference, I had gone out to do errands prior and couldn't shop! I know ME not being able to SHOP? I KNEW something was wrong, I didn't want to look or talk to anyone...and VIOLA, 30 min. after getting these adjustments I was in my car singing away! (I have been a singer for MANY years and it is my LOVE)...I was soooo happy, and this am, I feel soooo much better, eating is easier too....
So GO TO YOUR dentist for adjustments! That is what they are there for! And I will SAY IT AGAIN.....KEEP YOUR DENTURES IN! Take them out only to rinse and clean! you NEED to allow your gums to mold! I LOVE MY SMILE.....I am soooooo happy I did this now....YEAH!

Okay, so much better. Tried the Seabond and that I will use when I am out in public and at work....tomorrow is my 1st day back to work, I work in a call center and talk all day for 10 hours a day....so this ought to be challenging...not as if I can eat and then go clean the denture...LOL...so packing protein shakes and soft nutri grain bars...and a tooth brush...LOL...wish me luck....

One suggestion that I think REALLY helped me that my Dr's both stressed was to KEEP THEM IN all the time only take them out to clean and rinse....

My routine? Morning: Take them out, soak in Efferdent in the denture bath, rinse w/warm water and salt, floss my bottom real teeth and brush those, then rinse with the blue rinse, take a soft brush and brush the dentures with the foam from the efferdent, rinse and put back in.....

Midday: Quick rinse and brush

Night: Same as morning......

The warm water and salt rinse REALLY seemed to help me alot....I have no more stitches in, checked them all...LOL....so that was awesome to see...

I DO know that I would like to do the posts to lock them onto in the future...so that will be my next step....

tomorrow will be a HUGE challenge....it certainly is a rollercoaster ride, they look gorgeous, but it is just an adjustment curve that is all, that is what I keep telling myself....LOL....

Onward and UPward!

I'm only on day 3 of my top plate (hate it) but after reading your post, will try to be more positive. I have to confess that I rushed home 2 days straight and took them out -----I will go see the denturist today and home he makes adjustments to make them more comfortable ---it's hard not to think about them all day long....I too love to sing and can barely speak, let alone sing with this "thing" I'll keep on trucking.....
