Can You Still Taste Food If You Have Dentures? (the answer is yes) #denture #dentures #denturelife
Yes!! You can taste and enjoy your food with dentures. Dentures are a challenge at first, and it may take you a few weeks or even a couple of months to really get used to how eating with dentures works, but you will get there. You may even enjoy your food more without dental issues and tooth pain. Many people find it is easier to chew once they get used to their dentures, allowing them to eat foods they missed.

I liked the Poligrip Strips. Strong hold but it was very gooey and messy to remove dentures.

My immediate dentures made my lips disappear!?! 💋 Now I have to relearn how to put on lipstick.
My bottom teeth are the same way. I can't wear mine either 😢 May God bless y'all sweetie 🙏 👵 what do we do.
I got my dentures last month and I can just not get used to them...sigh, I have a sore spot on the top denture and have to go back to the dentist to have him adjust it but I am dragging my feet, I use the seabond sheets and like them, but I haven't learned how to talk properly with dentures either, I am kind of down about the whole situation to be honest.
@omfug7148 it will get better. It absolutely will. I struggled at first. I couldn't wear my lower immediate and the upper looked bad. Here's a tip to help learn how to talk - sing. Sing when you're alone. Sing to the radio when you're in your car so you're singing to random songs. It's hard at first but then it gets better. For the sore spot yes, see the dentist so he can adjust the denture so it doesn't get worse but short term, dab anbesol, oragel, etc, on the denture then put the denture in. I hope this helps. It will get better.
Save the liver! 😂😂 it's on the SNL page on youtube.
Thanks for the information going on 6 days with mine😮😅
Thank you. I hope your denture journey goes well.
A short that's actually useful to someone!
@@LostDraugr thank you!!
Yessss It's a game changer indeed. I love my polygrip paste and powder together and it lasted 15 hrs. I believe it could last more.I ate chicken wings and my teeth is still in place. I'm going to try eating a salad( baby arugula and baby spinach) on Friday.
@@ablckdiamd1 very nice!
I hate mine too
@@user-lg4mc9qy2r it's so challenging to go through this!!
What a great video! It makes total sense to use the adhesives as you suggested, for short(er) periods. It's even better that you show us exactly which ones you use for this purpose. Thank you for all of your Shorts and Videos. Your dry sense of humor and can-do attitude keep me watching.
@@minigirl6839 thank you!
I used the polygrip in the green tube it was ok but didn't last,then the seabond " Uppers" but it didn't last all day either, especially while eating pieces of chicken which felt they were coming out. So after looking at many videos on " powders" Especially the " Fixadent" but didn't want the zinc so i bought the polygrip powder . It was ok, but it was still like the rest. What i did was use the polygrip cream and the polygrip powder, and it worked for 12 hrs 8am to 8pm. It could have lasted more hrs but it was bedtime. The only thing is taking out the dentures was easy but the adhesive you must brush out from roof of the mouth.Finally I found something that worked for me while eating.
@@ablckdiamd1 I would like to try this! Which Poligrip did you use, or is any version ok?
@@sallygotdentures The " Super" polygrip that say " Zinc Free" in the green tube. I applied the powder first( shaking "lightly" so I wouldn't waste any,putting enough on, then 3 to 5 min ,then I put small dabs of the cream around and spread where it was needed.
@ablckdiamd1 thank you!!
You need a new set of denture with good suction
@oxranza7064 Yes. I'm expecting to get a reline in the next couple of weeks. Hoping to, anyway!
Much better if new one not reline
@oxranza7064 that is good to know. Thank you.
Im 8 days in with immediate lower denture. It took me 7 days to get mine adjusted enough to make not hurt but they slid around. They put soft liner in, and that helps with comfort put i also can't eat chew yawn take bite etc. without them poping up or out and like you were saying, I can't differ the denture from the food while trying to chew. I got two or three months until they put in posts to attach bottoms to. Praying those will hold enough to chew and tear food. Sandwiches seem hardest to get a bit off of. Tough bread doesn't like to tear and tries to pulls teeth out my mouth.
@erasethepatterns1 I still have trouble with sandwiches. The bread sticks to the top, and you're right, every bite tries to pull my dentures out. It is getting better with practice, though!
Sally, I want to tell you... you are not alone,8 months in... I still hate mine too! and I hate my dentist too! I feel so belittled and talked down to! this is the worst experience of my life.
@stephaniemair2869 someone told me the issue is that dentists don't wear dentures so they don't really know what it's like. That just floored me. It explained a lot. It is getting better, though, once I got my perms. I hope it gets better for you, too, soon!!
@@sallygotdentures I can tell you the day I commented I tried cushion grip, and even though I need to learn how to use it better, It was the first time i was able to bite anything without my teeth coming loose.
@@stephaniemair2869 that's good to know. I think I need to try it.
I am so very sorry. My teeth were pulled in April. I don't have immediate dentures.
@angelaschaefer5883 I hope it keeps getting better for both of us!!
I hope you didn't go for the deal of $800.00 for perms and a reline of the temps that were never made correctly in the first place. I guess I'll find out in the next video......fingers crossed you weren't forced to keep those ridiculous temps.😤
@@minigirl6839 thank you!
Oh my! Those are some of the worst temporary dentures I've ever seen. $5,700.00 ?!?! Girl, I'm watching from beginning to end, so I truly hope your dentist did something to correct that mess! On to the next video! ❤
@@minigirl6839 thank you!!
Thank you for this, 4 months in and I’m still so miserable, this gave me hope
It will get better.
It will get better.
It's my second day with dentures I can't wait till I can eat like that I go to eat my dentures fall out
You will get there! My immediate lower kept falling out, so I didn't use it. Finally I got my perms and could eat again.
Stain away crystals knock out all kinds of stuff off my dentures. I.use stain away at least once a week to do a deep clean on my dentures
That's an excellent idea.
You have to just reach that point you trust someone and take a chance
That's so true!
Happy dentures anniversary
Thank you!
Your dentures look good.
Thank hou!
I meant thank YOU!! 😊
Ha ha!😂😂

Altijd goed super smiley Beautiful lady wauw
They look good. Keep wearing them and have the dentist adjust them. You'll get used to them if you already haven't.
Thank you!
I'm 9 days in from full extraction and getting dentures. I hate my dentures now. They just don't feel right at all. Of course, I'm not expecting them to feel the same as natural teeth, just I feel something is off. My gums are healing quite well, so I tried to eat a sausage yesterday. It was so so painful. Probably, it's due to the bone spurs still in my gums. Understandably, I feel so discouraged right now. Hopefully, it will improve over time. Watching your video gives me some hope that I will eat normally again. I love food and got dentures hoping to get back some quality of life. Thank you!
It will get better. It's like your tongue and mouth muscles have to learn to eat all over again. I was very discouraged at first, but then it got a little better, then it just sort of "clicked," and one day I realized it had started working. Thank you for your comments. You will eat normally again!!
Great advice Sally. 6 weeks in with my dentures and slowly getting used to it. Thanks for the great post.
Thank you 🙂
I agree!
You look beautiful.
Thank you so much. You just made my day!
@@sallygotdentures ❣️
❤
❤️
So take them out and eat when your gums have healed ! Then you can clean the gunk and gong gongs off, refresh your mouth and put them back in again , in 30 years time nobody is going to be bothered wether or not you had dentures.
I love that!
Dumb response. Doesn’t work like that. Can’t bite into stuff if you have no teeth 🤦🏻♂️
@stephennelson5544 some people can eat some things without dentures. I think being able to eat with dentures is better, though!
@@sallygotdentures I prefer to eat without dentures eating with them is such a pain in the ass.What I do and I’m not a social butterfly so I eat in privacy unless it’s a rare situation and my dentures are locked in with ultra lock and sprinkle of the powder. Even then I just cut up my pizza or sandwich ppl don’t really care in this day and age.Just be sensible about it
@@stephennelson5544 They made these KILLER TOOLS FOR eating I think their called a knife and fork works wonders
Sally your a hottie what's it like to make out with them
Aren't you a sweetie!!
Great tips. Thank you.
Thank you!
How about when you know they won't?
It is a very hard thing to be in a relationship where you know you won't get support for serious life/health issues. No one is having their teeth extracted and getting dentures because they don't like having beautiful, healthy teeth. However you came to be on your denture journey, it is related to dental issues and associated health issues. Possibly helping your partner understand that there are health issues and dental pain, and getting past that will make you healthier and happier, and avoid more serious problems down the road. Possibly being able to realize that as time passes each of you may experience health issues and you're both better off if you know you will be there for the other, and this is just a step on that life journey you will share, the good and the bad. If that doesn't help, maybe counseling with a healthcare provider, pastor, or family member might help, together or individually. I hope your partner realizes that this is merely a step on your shared life journey and finds a way to recognize you need, and should be able to expect to have, their support. My thoughts are with you.
❤️
@@sallygotdentures ah counseling. Around here the wait time is at least 3 years. That is only of you have good insurance. Most the time right before the appointment they call and say they have to reschedule
I just wanted to check back and say I hope you are doing well.
I broke down in tears before my wife. Nothing but support ❤ remember that even if you don’t know what to do to help your partner, sometimes just being there is enough.
That touches my heart. Thank you. ❤️
@@sallygotdentures you are welcome. P.s your teeth look perfect. 😉 sometimes it’s just good to hear/read
@@naturescritter4691 😁❤️❤️
Is it smooth or rough after you file it?
You have to check it to make sure you don't make a sharp edge, but it's pretty smooth. Run your finger along the area you filed before you try it in your mouth.
😂

@paulgroen9471 😁😁

Wait till your bone and gums shrink and your dentures will no longer fit and no denture reliner will work 😞
I think that's the scariest part of getting dentures.
@@sallygotdentures it's not fun
Thats me😢
@@rebeccawatson1041 ❤️
It sucks but it’s allowed me to lose weight so it’s a weird win
People especially the younger demographic nowadays days are just judgemental and insecure its impossible to be real with them. NO one is perfect we've all got flaws but were adults not insecure little teenagers if im getting put down or judged for who I am then im out the door simple as that thats not what an intimate relationship is about. Its all done in privacy and discretion respect is key and you shouldn't settle for anything less. Bitings not a problem believe me... just dont take the whole thing off with ya at the end and its all good. 😅😅
Well said. (And amusing!)
I just noticed that you posted this update. I have the same attitude as you. Somehow, it was a lot easier to adjust to divorcing my husband than it is to wearing these teeth. 😊 I just had my re line yesterday. The top it's a little tighter but, the bottom is still moving all over. I'm going to have to think of a way to make myself laugh because, my teeth are clacking together.. I don't know if it's better that you go to work and socialize with other people so, maybe you forget about them for a minute or two. Or maybe being home and not seeing anyone and just having to sit with this and not interact with anyone may be easier or not. I'm trying to be grateful in my life. I never was the silver lining kind of person. But, I find that I have to be now. Please continue to make up days even if it's just for a handful of us. We seem to be going down the same road together. I like your purple lipstick. 🌷🌸 Last night, I told myself that I don't have to ask anybody at the end of the day if I have anything in my teeth cuz I can just set them on the counter and look for myself. I think I'm going to be ordering the mashed potatoes at restaurants for some years to come. I like mashed potatoes. It's hard not to want to just go and eat ice cream since it's the easiest. I don't need to gain weight and have these teeth. I commiserate with you about having pimples in your wrinkles. The audacity of those zits! I've known for years that they had been working on a way to regrow teeth and I just heard this week that they have moved into human trials. If I had known, I would have held on longer with my teeth because, you need to have your teeth for them to regrow the root system and the rest of the teeth to reform. There's got to be a reason for everything. I have no idea what it is.😅
I have started to believe it really does get better. I have to use the paste and powder combination on my lowers. It helped but now it seems like they hold for 8-10 hours but I have a 15-16 hour day so I have to reapply. Thank you for your comments. It helps! I am hoping it starts getting better for you, too! And wow, if only on the teeth regrowing. I'm with you, wish I'd have known, but I had already lost some on their own so I guess it wasn't meant to be.
Sally, I see that it has been a month since you made this video. I wonder how you're doing? I think there are 45 million people in the US who were dentures. But, somehow, that's just not comforting. I think of people who have lost a limb and how they had to adjust. Please let me know how you're doing now. I see the difference between your immediate and what you ended up with.. it's not your fault that you asked for them to be a little bit bigger and maybe not quite as white. I have never heard of anybody that didn't get to try on their wax tryins including all the teeth. In fact, many people have to send them back two and three times until they're the right size teeth and the right color. What your dentist did was just not even ethical. He wanted to read your mind telepathically. There should definitely have been a try in that would have been identical to the ones that you chose for your final set. Have you been able to eat or even enjoy food at all again? Life is full of surprises but, this one could have been avoided if you're trying to say just followed the normal path. I think I'm kind of the opposite of you. When I need to replace a refrigerator I just walked down the road looking from side to side and then I point at one. I don't like change and so my mind decides where it's going to be and that's where it stays. I do like your couch very much. After hearing your story, I would rather make a fuss and take a long time to get things right. I understand the pressure of when you're sitting in that chair. 🌸
Your comments lifted my spirits. Thank you. It is such a challenge, isn't it? I saw someone else say in a video that the problem is that most dentists don't have dentures, so they don't really understand. That stayed with me. I don't like change, either. Dentures are definitely a big change!
Unbelievable!!! Sure hope they fix this for you
Thank you
Good information!
Thank you!
Great post, and I love the family story!
Thank you!
It does get better.
Thank you for the encouragement!
If you have your real teeth from when they took them out you should maybe get implaints i wish i could .
I wish I could, too. Implants are so expensive. I hope your dental journey is going well!! Thank you for your comments. I appreciate you!!
Teeth look good
@user-oe9mm5er4x thank you!
Can you ask for a refund ?
Did you ask him what they would look like before you got tham
I didn't ask the right questions. I was so overwhelmed by the whole process. Even trying to find out more beforehand didn't prepare me. I hope describing what I'm going through will help someone else.
Well good luck with it
Thank you. I appreciate your support!
No one can rely prepare u enough for dentures especially a dentist that does not have them but I’m sure at your Garbo would know enough to rely do your research beforehand and watch a lot of your tube videos on it since u are able to make them and post them about your own and u would and should know since u wanted immediate dentures there never going to fit right they have either made them with your old teeth still in or they made them right after extraction either way it’s a no brainer they will not fit right especially since your mouth and gums will change and shrink over time 🙄 and why would u ever accept the dentures if they did not look right especially the bottom one u have to sign off on a pice of paper before u leave the office with thoes dentures saying your happy with the way the look if u did not like the look why sign it why not have them remade and not sign till your happy with them I would of never signed just seeing how the bottom was 😮 and u should not have to eat mush foods or soft foods still that’s taking it a little to far u should be able to eat more things try toughening up your gums it may just help u out in the long run
You make a really good point about a dentist that doesn't have dentures. You are so right! I agree that no one can really prepare you. Thank you for your comments.
I talked to the dentist. I posted a short video about how that went...... see "Resting Disapproval Face" for more information....
