Video

Thank You for this video. I'm on day three of having my dentures. I still CAN'T get them to stay in. I've tried different adhesives (Poligrip adhesive and poligrip strips) and unfortunately none are working. I've put them in and held them for about five minutes. They keep popping out, no matter what. My dentist did say I might not being able to be able to wear them. I have a small palette and barely any bone on the bottom. He said it could take up to six months to get used to.He did suggest dental implants. Their is no way I can afford $50,000 for a full set of implants.

Thank you for a detailed video

I had all my teeth pulled but they didn’t put my dentures in like they said they would. They said I was too swollen well that wasn’t true they were already too big before the swelling came down! They gave me my temporary dentures in a bag. I’ve been back twice but they supposedly tried to put them in but there wasn’t much effort. They are still way too big. This last time I went in, my stitches on the bottom haven’t dissolved and so they want to wait two more weeks. It’s already been 3 weeks. My self esteem is on the floor.

What is your favorite denture adhesive

I’m getting dentures made on Tuesday too set not a full set but nearly a full set at the top

I learned more from you then my dentist. Thank you.

Thank you...I got Top Dentures today...I had 4 tooth bridges in the back, so extractions were only 8 teeth...I feel pretty good. I used Chinese herb oil & hemp root balm that took the swelling away within 4 hours. I'm not going back tomorrow...I am waiting 6 days (on the 15th) because I don't think getting a soft liner is right on day 2 (when you still have bleeding holes in your mouth trying to heal). Of course, if I have any problems I will call him. I appreciate your support. Great video!

I just got full mouth extractions last saturday and I am only 36 :( It was going to be 33k-35k for restoring my mouth. With three little ones at home I couldnt justify that so I shopped around until I found a dentist willing to pull all my teeth. I wish I had good teeth because my immediates suck. Im praying that my permanent set will fit better than these horrible and painful immediates, because these are awful and my quality of life has tanked severely.

This was a really positive video and just what I needed tonight. I had my extractions 2 weeks ago and was only given the upper denture. I get the bottom tomorrow after the stitches come out. I tried putting the upper in and it fell off. The dentist didn’t say anything about adhesive so I’ve just gone without for this week. I am nervous about tomorrow. It made me feel better when you talked about the emotional part. I really went through a rough patch last week. I will definitely give myself a break and understand it will be a process. Thank you!

Inn my opinion you got the. Wrong size teeth . I think you need bigger dentures especially the lower denture.

You're just getting old you're beautiful

It is not that I'm vain but the world is vain if you don't look right you can not get friends of jobs or anything really. My teeth have been bad about 7 yrs. I am afraid of the dentist I finally went in and had them pulled on Thursday. They are not good Western Dental horrible people. They never did my impression they asked over and over again if it was done I said no but they ignored me. They promised temps the same day nope nothing for me. They wanted me to do bone graph because my structure is bad over 500 a tooth no I can not afford it. I am screwed now. I am 47 I look 80 so sad really.

I find it so sad.. when a Man can go to the Moon n back YET no one has discovered a way to keep these darn lowers in our mouth without using a bucket of nasty glue, I had 3 implants n have lost 2, the one I still have is virtually useless as well.. argg

Don't get fillers get your denture bulked up they can refine them to fill your face back out. I'm about to get dentures and already have sagging lips because of my teeth one of my main goals is having that area filled back out with the gums and teeth on the denture

Marie: Not only is your smile beautiful, bit your manner is very beautiful! I came expecting lots of examples of what to do etc (I am 2days into this adventure) and somehow I come out feeling so good! I am learning to love health care worker.! Besides my mouth situation I am also dealing with cancer and have spent quite a bit of time, recently, in the company of health care workers, and they have been angels with great humor! I was feeling down and yours was the first video I came to. Thank you so much!

Thank you Marie Elena, I had most of my teeth extracted three days ago and have had dentures made for immediate fit. Though I realise it’s just one of life’s things, I’m lamenting the fact that, as a very young 60 yo, I no longer have a mouth full of my own teeth. Your words have helped me a lot in dealing with my esteem issues, and much of your other advice has been very helpful also. Best wishes to you, and thanks for sharing on your not-so-crappy-as-you-think channel. 👍 Bruce, Canberra, Australia.

New subscriber. So happy I found your channel and this community. I had what was left of my top teeth pulled 9/2021, no dentures because I wanted to heal and wearing masks made that easy. Had 10 bottom teeth at the time. Fast forward still no dentures had 6 bottom teeth pulled 1/2024. I just got my top dentures and bottom partials 5/22/24. I'm taking your advice on the tongue twisters. I love my smile but hate slurring my words. Any other advice would be appreciated !! I'm going to be binge watching all your videos and reading the comments . I want to Thank everyone for sharing your experiences and knowledge.

Thnx babe

250.00 saving , the time and gas. Then making an appointment is worth the hassle. Implants a 40k upper and 40 k lower screw that

But won’t he feel the plastic of the dentures and he won’t feel the natural roof of your mouth?

Any advice on learning how to not gag ?

I went white ! I love it I am 68 and I think it makes you look younger than having darker teeth it make you look older !!

I learned so much. Thank you. ‼️. Your personality is wonderful

Thank you so much for being so relatable. It’s hell for sure. Hope you’re finding comfort and peace

Thank you

If you don't like having dentures remember this.......I read that George Washington had dentures made of wood.......and held them in with pine gum. I'm sure that was so fun!

Tell you 41 year old, who used to be the life of the party and self-confidence through the roof since getting like dentures I told introverted in the old extroverted self is just a thing of the past I’m praying to God that doing great way will bring back who are used to be watching this particular video and listening to your particular story was very inspiring. You’re beautiful woman. Wish me luck. Have a good day.❤🎉😮🤞😁 I can smile like this again

Thank you so so much for all this information!!! I have a really important question I hope you an answer for me as soon. As possible, I wish I had seen this earlier in the day..... I'm day one post upper teeth being pulled!! They put in a temporary denture that I have to wear for the next 8 weeks before I get my permanent set....They told me to wear the temp night one which was last night & that on the 2nd night (right now) that I should NOT sleep with them in!! But I am so afraid that my bone structure will get messed up!!! Please tell me what you think??? I need help....

Thank you so much for this wonderful video explaining right to the point of what to expect I’ve been without teeth for four months and my uppers and partial have finally come in and this has eased my mind a lot.

Thank you this is my first day with dentures and I’ve watched about 15 different dentures for beginners videos and came upon yours and you 100% said everything I wanted and needed to hear going down this new path and what you said was straight to point and made since thanks a lot and GOD BLESS

I seen where someone posted they just got lowers or uppers last Friday I got both tops and bottoms and they are still driving me crazy but people keep telling me it gets better

Thank you so much for the courage to make these videos. I’m 37 and am on my second week of full top dentures. The dentist pulled my top teeth out and I got my denture that same day. I feel so defeated. These things are miserable. No matter what I do I can’t keep them in correctly. They slip and end up crooked when I talk, drink something and when I smoke a cigarette. So I don’t even try to eat real food just pudding and little Mac and cheese noodles that I can just swallow. I don’t regret having my bad teeth taken out cuz of the pain and infections but I regret getting dentures. I apologize for such along comment but just wanted to share my experience so far.

You are beautiful! Thank you for this review 💕

i had all my teeth removed but then i had to have reconstructed surgery 🎉on my upper mouth forgot what its called but i had an issue when i smile my whole front gums protruded and afterwards my uppers wouldn't suction up to the top of my mouth so that surgery takes over 63 days to heal so thankful to god i have all that outta the way healed my issue now is my bottoms wont adhere i tried 3 diffetent ones 🤦🏾‍♀️ help

Thank you. Your video helped me feel better about myself.

So I went and tried on my dentures last week and im scared because when I closed my mouth with the dentures in my mouth looked like i had thick dentures in like my lips looked like i had hockey pucks in my mouth even though it wasn't thick...does that go away?

Is it normal to get your dentures after your swelling goes down

I have tori. It's a bone growth under the tongue. Is that going to be difficult to fit lower dentures?

It took almost a year to learn how to eat everything again, to talk normally, sing, whistle, and as was before. I still struggle with comfort at times. I would love silicone padding. Just don't want to feel them at all.

What is the cost in

I have all the same problem goes hand in hand

I relate to your issue ! Just made an appointment for lip fillers this week and some juviderm ! I am feeling the same! Funny you used the princess and the pea ! I say the same thing!! Thank you for sharing! I totally related to everything your sharing! Best wishes! Love and Smiles 😁🫶🏼🙏🏼💋🤗👍🏼I will also keep you posted!!

I love your personality.... great delivery of your message! Thank you!
