This makes me feel better. I’m 37 and have spent my entire life with bad teeth painful infections. Extraction after extraction. I’ve finally decided to make the appointment for dentures. I’m tired of never smiling or being self conscious to eat infront of people or talk without my hand infront of my mouth.

Thank you for your positive feedback. I’m only 10 days into this journey and am frustrated with eating. I realize now I need to be more patient and eventually I’ll be able to eat normal again.

I'm sitting here almost in tears because I can't even eat mashed potato with my dentures, and the adhesive made me queasy. This is day 2, and my gums are too sore to wear them even without eating. Some of my family gave up on their dentures, and I'm so glad to hear from one person that made them work.

It took me over five months to feel remotely normal - but here we are! Time is definitely our friend!

Thanks for sharing this information with me. I'm having my surgery next Thursday.

Such an encouraging advice " be positive and patient", thanks for that. I'm having my 2nd week experiencing of full dentures up/down.
