- Will having dentures impact your dating life? If you find yourself apprehensive about dating with dentures, you're not alone. For many, the idea of starting a new relationship as a denture wearer can be intimidating; but it doesn't have to be! Here's my thoughts!

I confessed to my Fiancé that I wear veneers and need to get dentures due to bacteria underneath rotting my actual teeth but you couldn't see it and I was terrified to tell her, come to find out she actually wears dentures also and I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA! So she was was totally understanding because she was afraid to tell me also lol. Crazy situation lol
Live is full of surprises, very happy you accepted each other. Best wishes on your wedding.
@@keyd4211 thank you very much!
This is the best story ever! Thats amazing that you did not notice she had them? Does she only have top or bottom? Or both?? I have top dentures and the way my bottom teeth are going I might need bottom dentures ☹ I have had so many guys ask me out for coffee and on a date and I always say no because I'm terrified of being rejected over this situation...
I dont understand how can a fiance not know I thought eating was a issue and they need to come out a t night
@@joelincolnlincoln6315 people are really good at hiding it if they dont want someone to find out. They don't have to come out at night. You can clean them the next day and soak them for 5 minutes while youre in the shower or going to the bathroom. I have full dentures now and its actually really easy. I can sleep with them in and it feels perfectly natural.
People wear hearing aides because they can't hear..people wear glasses because they can't see....makes me sad that dentures seem to be taboo for some people....Thank you for your video....
Exactly.
Virginia lohrey uui
i got so sad because I was missing one tooth and the dentist I went to see to help me with one tooth gave me a bridge that damage the rest of my front teeth really bad work he did but when you can't afford something like this is really sad .
Mercedes Juarez I agree Mercedes. I have dentures but I can't afford implants to feel "normal" looking.
Dawn Shrodes I know is so sad I hope one day you can get that money to do it or somebody can help you everything is possible when we believe 😊 wish you the best
Until you are at the point of needing dentures, or already have them ... You have no idea how huge this fear is! Thanks for covering this, it is a major factor in the decisions to move forward with dentures and with dating!
Some say bad breath is better than no breath. Having infected teeth removed is a great solution.
Hi Becky m. Hope ur doing ok. Did u end up getting dentures? It's different but it's worth it! I started a channel a week ago or so about my journey I hope it helps ppl who are thinking of getting them or ppl going threw the process... ❤👍😁✌
What fear? There is a thing called glue ? As far as dating? It is completely optional! Dating is not mandatory exercise!
@@doctoredable I say no breath is better!
Svetla Nikolova the fear is having no teeth in your head at all! You have to look in the mirror at some point without the dentures in!
I had to get dentures 2 months ago and I'm only 26. as a kid I suffered from severe overcrowding I needed teeth removed and braces but my parents didn't do it so my teeth gradually got worse and worse over the years until I had no choice. people judge me all the time but I don't care. I lived most my life with ugly, crooked, painful teeth and now I have no pain and I have a beautiful smile. if you need dentures for whatever reason get them don't let others opinions stop you!
this isnt a whose situation is worse contest. and its extremely rude to reply to someones problems whining about your own problems. That's a surefire sign that you're a narcissist.
Rosita that was VERY helpful!
Convultus happened to me at 17. A car accident knocked out four of my front teeth and loosened the rest. I have had major issues for decades and spent thousands on my teeth. Now I'm facing dentures. You have one missing tooth which nowadays you can get that fixed easily. You will be fine... trust me.
Greywind92 shut the fuck up
@Carolina1 that was very well said. I feel like anyone in this situation should be and is allowed to vent their emotions, because how common is it that we just meet someone or personally know someone going through the same thing? Not very often. So when we have a community of people that can relate to us and sympathize without ignorance or judgment, it's actually the best most appropriate time to share those feelings. Its relieving to know others understand our struggles with having bad or failing teeth. It's an emotional journey, were allowed to express it in an environment of like -minded people and that will never be wrong. Very different from being a narcissist and making it all about you
I am a 36 year old guy. I was without my teeth for about a year before having dentures fitted. I had my teeth removed them in three separate appointments, healed for a few months, then my jaw bone had to be shaved down, and I had to heal for a few months more to get the best fitment. I dealt with bad teeth for the better part of my adult life. I was embarrassed to the point to where I couldn't make eye contact with anyone, not even some friends. As of last week I am just getting back into dating and i am super excited! I am conquering my social anxiety from having really bad teeth and no teeth for such a long time. Thanks pretty lady for the reassurance that I can move forward. I was worried how my date would react when I tell them in the near future.
I was the same. Just had my top teeth out today, and I am just getting used to wearing my immediate dentures. They feel funny, but they are a step on the process towards my final dentures. I feel a little bit more confident wearing these dentures, even though they are the cheap ones.
Dentures look much better than bad teeth.
Thank you for your support. 🌹
I have found it's more of a problem having bad teeth than dentures! No one can tell with good dentures but really rotten bad teeth look awful. Great video!!
Amen...I went to dentist yesterday. I was informed I need full dentures. I cried, BUT I am actually relieved because I want to feel better (health), and confident. My new fiance encouraged me to go because he just wants me to smile and be happy. He is COMPLETELY SUPPORTIVE of my getting them. We just want to live a long happy life together.
I found these videos after my appointment. Thank you. I feel so much better about getting them now. No it's not anything to be ashamed of. BLESSINGS TO YOU.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 👑
I just got dentures and I’m trying to find the courage and confidence to tell my close friends , I cried about it but I think I feel a little better now thank you so much for this video 😭
Hope you are okay but you should never have to feel obligated to tell your friends about a health-related issue or procedure especially if you don't feel comfortable.
There should be an Online Dating site for "Denture Dating" since we will be more comfortable inthat aspect of life. Both partners will know what we bring to the relationship as far as dentures and we both will be comfortable expressing ourselves in intamacy. What do everyone think about this? Opinions please.....
This would be amazing
Anyone with a mature outlook on life won't care about dentures while dating. Unless you forgot to put them in. lol. (keeping it light folks!)
Linescrew1 love it lol
Ha! true dat
That was so cute lol
Exactly, I met a girl on a blind date many years ago and she literally had NO teeth (top and bottom)!, I have no problem with dentures but she thought I was shallow because this turned me off a tad!
@@Barnabas45 if something turns you off, it turns you off. As is your right I suppose.
Thank you!!! I got my uppers almost 10 years ago I was 27 at the time. I hadn't been confident enough to smile proudly until I got my dentures. I recently had my lowers done 2 years ago and now I feel even better. So again thank you for letting us know younger denture wearers are not alone.
My biggest fear in life is to have dentures. I have had this fear since I can remember. It's so exhausting. You are so strong and brave for doing this. You are beautiful and intelligent! ♥️♥️
I'm 41. Full dentures.
Met my woman on a dating site. She's younger than me and we're getting married. She doesn't even care
That’s awesome bro
Congratulations..she is nice girl
I'm 58 and single now and I've been paranoid of how I would handle the fact I have dentures In single life, i just got my permanant and i feel very worried, your video helped me. Thank you
Curious, who the 22 selfish individuals that gave this beautiful woman a thumbs down? A person trying to share her own experiences, and educate people and ease the fears of others. Whatever! Thank you Kalinjax for giving up your time to create these videos. Beautiful not only on the outside, but even more important on the inside.
Scot M I know right 😡😡😡😡 smh
They are idiots lol
They'll always be idiotic fools. Ignore them.
Them are the ones who don't understand
@@leahmcginley4057 maybe because she’s not wearing dentures. She got implants.
I had to get an upper denture almost 1 year ago due to bone loss and I’m a 42 year old former (now disabled) dental assistant...being that teeth were my life for about 20 years getting a denture was really traumatic for me. When you work in dental you notice peoples teeth and can’t help thinking everyone notices yours too. Luckily I have a very supportive husband who like yours has become even more attracted to me because now I can smile! I still plan on getting implants someday but have learned how to cope with wearing a denture. It’s not the end of the world, it’s just the beginning of a new chapter! Thank you for this video!
Thanks for your video! I just got dentures 2 weeks ago, not embarrassed talking with people I know about my dentures. In fact, a friend which works for a dentist, could not tell I had dentures until I told her. I have a dentist which did a terrific job.Thanks for all your videos!
You are such a lovely positive lady. I'm happy to hear your success story. I don't even need dentures; I just love listening to you talk.
Having courage is not about not having fear but having fear but doing it anyway! Excellent quote! 💪
Very much appreciated 🙏 for the encouraging words. I've been through so much losing my husband almost three years ago then finding out we were scammed out of our money we had. I live by myself living on disability so I can't afford to get permanent dentures now so I'm going to have to deal with regular dentures whatever they may be. I'm hoping at almost 65 there's guys out there that will date someone that wears dentures 😒
Here to support! Just got mine a week ago. ! But happy that I’m not alone in my journey ! 36 with dentures is a lot but , my smile is beautiful now! Just wanted to say thank you for sharing , it takes courage, and im here for it! Ty so much for sharing
my mom at 44 has had dentures since 22, bad teeth run in our family and being able to smile means the world to me. you’ve made me feel so much mote comfortable, thank you.
Thank you so much for putting this out there. I just got them this weekend and these thoughts have obviously been racing through my mind ever since. Your video really helped me come to terms with things, and reminded me that I’m not alone in this experience and have nothing to be ashamed of! Turning negatives into strengths is key with lots of things in life, an dentures are no different.
I'm on the verge of suicide because of my teeth. I think dentures will truly make my life worth living again. I don't date now because I'm so ashamed of my crooked teeth that are falling out from Bone loss. I know it's tuff at first but I think it will be sooool worth it. Thx for this Video! God Bless!
Lisa! Thank You for your willingness to share this! We support people like you! -
The Dream Team "Dental Implant experts"
Lisa Marie I hope you were able to get your smile fixed and it upset me to read that your suicidal over this. I will listen if you need to talk please don't harm yourself! Best of luck!
I feel your pain. Go & get dentures or implants hon. I wear partial dentures. They gave me back my confidence again. Trust me & get it done. You won’t regret it Lisa.
I know how you feel. I recently found out I had 6 cavities (I didn't have a cavity since I was a kid) in my back teeth most of them were small and others a bit big, because of the stress of college and other problems I started to think of killing myself, but I started to think that there are worst things in life and I could be in a worse situation. I'm currently recovering from my depression and working out and taking better care of myself and lately I'm feeling way better. Suicide is not the answer, if there is a problem there is a solution and I can tell with 100% sure that most people won't see a problem with you wearing dentures. So my advice is trying to get help, specially from friends, family and obviously a professional, try to change the way you look at things and learn from your mistakes and take better care of yourself. Also be aware that everyone has scars and a scar tells a story
Lisa I know this is 2 years later and I know how it feels to have dental problems where it makes our self esteem sink to the bottom of the ocean. I truly hope you are ok. I've had so many Dental issues and over the years I've had so much work done, including braces because my teeth were very crowded but not crooked. I've had my front teeth ground only to eat a gummy bear and There Goes My Crown . I look like a damn jack-o'-lantern. I taught myself how to not smile when I was missing that tooth. I eventually had it replaced . after I had it replaced, I was so used to not smiling that I had to get used to being able to smile again. I've had several teeth pulled, even the ones right behind my canine teeth so that my braces could work. I've never had any health issues or did anything to cause my dental issues. My grandma would tell me that my grandpa had teeth like chalk, my dad had very weak teeth. As of now after many many years, every single tooth I have is a crown. My husband at one point had really good dental insurance and I took advantage of getting the work done. But my problems did not and there. I have TMJ and I grind my teeth severely. I will repeat, severely. My dentist is awesome and he says that I have grinded my teeth down so bad that he barely has any room to work. The first visit when I saw him, I honestly had no hope and my anxiety kept telling me that I could either not afford all the work I needed or that the dentist would say I need to get all my teeth pulled since it would cost way more than a nice new car. As it turned out, it wasn't as bad as I thought but yes I did need a lot of work still. I had to have root canals redone, I just had the third root canal on this tooth done and I honestly don't think they will be able to save it when I go back in a week. It's been hell. I had an abscess and I can tell you I would have rather given birth to my two kids all over again then go through that pain. But my whole point is is that nowadays they have come so far in the dental industry and many people who think they need dentures really don't. That's what happened in my case but I am almost sure that one day when I'm older and it's more logical, I would get them. But at this point they are not necessary. But if they were, so be it. It's really a win-win situation. There's Hope and you can either get things fixed or if you do need dentures, they have come so far as far as dental work. What upsets me as well as many other people is that dental work is so expensive. But it's very important to get your teeth scene 2 in do whatever you have to do 2 find a way to make it happen. When it comes to your health and there's no other options there are so many loans or credit cards out there. It's not my favorite option but at the same time it's not like I'm getting a credit card to go shopping. It's to save my teeth as well as my health. Many people don't understand that if there are severe dental problems that go untreated it affects your overall health. There are so many dentist out there that will work with you regardless of your income. I can imagine there are so many dentist out there that want to help people and they do understand the crazy costs involved. You have to dig deep and find a way to get it done but please know that reading your comment made my heart sink even though I do not know you. I feel for you because I know the pain through my own experience but there is no reason whatsoever to take your own life. Issues like this , there's always a solution even if the negative voice in your mind says it's not possible. your pain is mine as I read this. I am being honest and I could tell you that I am on my phone and I see your picture next to your comment. And you are very beautiful, I totally mean that. I know what it's like to be told by others that I am beautiful and not believe it. I would always shrug it off because my insecurities about my teeth overrides the compliments. But I have been told I am pretty over the years and it has come from people that I know wouldn't just say it just to say it or make me feel good. But I know what it's like to be told you're beautiful and not feel it. But you most definitely are and honestly if I had the money I would totally pay for you and me to have all the luxurious dental work in the world that we needed. Please keep your head up and I promise a lot of times it's not as bad as you think. Maybe the dentist will tell you that you don't need dentures. Maybe they will. So what? Really. So what? If you need dentures, so be it.
I am sending you the warmest tightest hug I can send you over CZcams. your comment went right through my heart and this world and the people you know need you more than you will ever think. This is just a season where in, things always get better and I truly hope that you are okay. You have so much to live for. Sometimes we just need someone to say "I understand." it's a very heartbreaking feeling to look in the mirror and hate what we see. I've been there. but there's always a way to get the help you need. And I promise you the fear that you have, when everything is said and done you will look back and think I was more scared than I needed to be. Most of the time when we worry about Things they don't happen or they are not as bad as we thought.. I wish you the best and remember you are beautiful. You are loved.
I'm so glad to see you back. You have helped me through my journey on getting dentures. I'm so happy to smile with confidence. Thank you so much for your videos and sharing your story and experiences.
I used to be bulimic when I was a teen and I began doing it again after giving birth to my now 8yr old daughter so eventually my gag reflexes got very messed up & sometimes to this very day, it is hard to keep food down which the acid caused my tooth to decay and rot. I have been very embarrassed about getting dentures but honestly, your videos have helped out a lot especially when I see how young and beautiful you are. I guess I just kind of thought that only the elderly &drug addicts used dentures so now I feel much to see that beautiful people get dentures too.
Hi hun. I went through this too. I am currently in Costa Rica getting my teeth fixed finally after 10 years of battling bulimia. I feel like this finally closes that chapter in my life
Same here, being bulimic by several years nobody knows it, not even my family. We're all chubby, but for some reason I've always been the target of their bullying, telling me things like "you made yourself a pig", "you look like a cow" "nothing fits you" that really affected me. And now is worse, my teeth are bad and my dentist says that I should consider using a denture. It's hard to deal with bulimia and the losing of your teeth because both are related to self steem UwU it's difficult. But we can go through this. You can do it. My best wishes to both of you and anyone who is going through this.
Thank you for all the advice! This is a challenging yet humbling road!
Thank you for being so honest and real. Through your own uncomfortable experience you are helping a lot of people and isn't that really a big part of what it's all about? I believe it is so thank you😊❤️
I've recently watched a couple of your videos concerning dental issues. You're truly an inspiration. It's really just nice and beneficial hearing your perspective. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! I'm finally getting my dentures a week from today! It's been a long, frustrating journey!!! I can't wait to get my smile back!!! It's been so worth it!!!
If they dont want to date you because you wear dentures forget about them lol who cares about them. It wasn’t meant to be. Dentures have made my long term partner actually happier and he’s really supportive like it should be.
I know why too. My hop.
Thank you for this. I needed to hear all of this. I’m going in for my consult tomorrow. I’m nervous af. But it’s gotta be done. Thanks again!
I subscribed so fast! You’re amazing and a voice to someone like me who’s going through a similar teeth journey. Your videos are great and inspiring. Thank you!
Your videos have helped me out so much. I'm 37 and had dentures at 28. I was super insecure about a lot of things in my life and that was a big one. I'm a singer who is still trying to make my dreams come true and I get worried about how it would affect all of that. I wouldn't tell my friends and became very reclusive because of my insecurities about it. I worried everyone could tell. It really added to my already low self-esteem. But I have come to find that it didn't affect my singing, no one can tell, and I'm worried for nothing. I've also found that when I have brought it up it's not a big deal. I just want to thank you for all that you do to help all of us out here. It means a lot. You're a sweetheart.
Schneewittchen3663 I'm a singer, too!
I had a teeny bit of a lisp, when I first got my dentures, but as soon as I was used to them, my singing was back to awesome & I was so relieved!! 😊
I totally understand all those fears, hey! xo
Schneewittchen3663 I just want to say how happy I am that you overcame your fear and that everything worked out for you. I am so scared that I will need dentures because my mouth will look sunked in. Can people tell that you have dentures? And are you really comfortable as far as eating and stuff? Can you chew gum with them and do you have to take them off at night? Can’t I just wash them at night and put them back in? Thank you so much in advance and I wish you the best with your singing career.
I'm an English teacher, the same as you I'm worried about how to get dentures could affect my voice, I'm mean, I make my living on how I talk. Hope you get this through and make your dream come true.
Hey, my name is Lou I’m in the process of having to get dentures like you and have watched quite a few of your videos, all kidding aside you are so articulate when you speak and the way you convey messages, Is amazing. If you don’t do this professionally you should seriously, seriously consider it because you are a joy to listen to and I mean that in all seriousness. Thank you and good luck
They need to look beyond the dentures and see that your mouth is cleaner this way!!! But I hear ppl having fear especially single people. I guess I would fear it as well. But if people don't like it.... get lost!!! They are very ignorant!!! Great topic!
I agree, I see things on dating apps like you better have good teeth, muscular build, good job with money.. I stay away from those people.. I mean I got a decent job, my own place and car I’m happy..
thank you so much for this video and advice..as a single man and getting dentures today i had a lot of questions..this video explained a lot..thank you so much..
this video has expressed all of my concerns because I'm going to have to have this done I just do not have the money for this but you've made me feel so much better about it and you're so beautiful thank you
Man I'm loving you so much, you covered all the bases. God bless you and Thank you again very much 😂😘
Hey Kalinjax! Been watching you for a few years from you Affordable Dentures day to now. Just wanted to let you know, I'm engaged and our wedding is next year and by then I'll have all on four implants!
I haven't even got my e day yet. It will be very soon, in the next month. Waiting on that tax return to make the down payment.
My fiancée is VERY happy I am getting my dentures. He's always called me beautiful even with my nasty teeth and all the infections. He wants me to be happy and healthy and this is going to improve our lives ten fold.
Maggie East love it! Congrats on both the wedding and the new smile. Good luck!!
kalinjax ur awesome!!! just got dentures
Maggie
What a BEAUTIFUL man/soul you've united with...CONGRATULATIONS!!! ✨💖✨
Finally someone so real about dentures..lve had to pass on few women cuz fear of my dentures..it really sad but thankyou so much beautiful.
it wouldn't bother me if you had dentures or no teeth at all ! I date a woman by the way she is, not always the way she looks ! you look very pretty !
That's great
Marry me! Lol
@@keli449 are you
Wearing dentures too?
@@legendoooo9890 no not yet, but I need them , just been scared.
@@keli449 She's already spoken for. :)
Thank you for this video, I'm on a point of pure anxiety cause I'm a 26 y/o male and needing full dentures because my teeth are rotten to the root because of anti-depressant medication. You really gave me that extra boost of confidence with this video , and I'm planning to get everything extracted and go for full dentures asap, it's been way overdue. Just need to save a little more money for it.
I recently got into contact with this girl and I can't stop worrying about how this will affect our relationship, you gave me a great insight as to how the right people WILL accept it :)
Also, you really look great with your dentures!
I recently got dentures and explaining why i have no teeth to my 5 yr old son was hard i started crying but explaining it to my 2 older girls was hard but they understood so well i was so surprised they are so supportive. And one of their teachers told me smile and be proud of who i am. So im smiling proudly that i have pretty teeth again 😁😁
Your five year old won’t remember it at all! Only my 16 year old remembers my terrible teeth and that’s only because his memory is insane. My younger two keep forgetting that my teeth aren’t mine and my second oldest only remembers because she thinks it’s cool that I do CZcams and watches all of my videos. 🤣 After a while, people tend to forget and it’s just the new normal.
Its just so sad, I'm only 19 and I already have to decide on having them:'(
Your young you can save up to get implants. Nobody really cares these days . People are too concerned with themselves . It's important to do facial exercises to keep your jaw toned down.
mustamerah balt I’m a young 55 just two days ago ,I lost all my uppers several years ago was finally exited to get dentures only to have the misfortune of choosing a very unethical practice , and to be honest my natural teeth were horrendous cracked etc due to several reasons some my fault and some totally unavoidable long story short I’ve had my second set of dentures almost a year but just couldn’t adjust , but I’ve learned that if ppl cared about me with dentures or without I didn’t need them in my life , I’ve just been lucky to find out I’ll be getting implants on my uppers in 3 weeks and I feel super blessed but it’s for my own self confidence for those that judged me for not having them they are still living in a dream world we all have something that if only we had a different outcome never give up hope I love ppl for their personality and ppl that aren’t so quick to judge and again I’ve had issues with my teeth since around age 5 or 6 keep thinking positive teeth are definitely something ppl do look at however my experience was just a mess from the dentist I chose to just having an odd mouth keep your confidence you seem like a kind person and like this gorgeous lady said if they can’t except you then perhaps they aren’t meant to be in your life also so many different options wishing u much luck and happiness in future :)
That’s not fair. I’m 22 and I need dentures. I can’t even begin to think how bad you feel.
I'm also 21 and have dentures. Sometimes watching videos like this help me gain self confidence but later I just feel down because having dentures is just very embarassing. I still feel bad about myself and I think it will be like this for the rest of my life. 😢
@@stenaaa799 I feel you. 😥 My whole entire life, I've never dated anyone. I'm scared of entering a relationship because of it 😭
Your explanation is incredible!!!!! You have given me so much hope!!!!
Happy to discover you on CZcams! I had teeth removed and an upper denture put in five years ago - I’m still wearing the temporary and never had it re-lined. I love love love my denture but the sad thing is I never told anyone except my kids and unable to have a relationship as fearful to kiss anyone as they will know I have a denture. I’m always told I have a beautiful smile and can’t imagine ever disclosing the fact that my teeth aren’t my own. Now my bottom teeth are breaking since pandemic and was told to remove all teeth and put in a denture and I’m very fearful of this as I’m told it won’t stay in the bottom and I will need implants and bone grafts and don’t have the cash. I so miss having a relationship and want to fall in love again at over 60 but afraid of anyone learning I have a denture.
I didn't realize at first that this was a different page and one I had to subscribe to. Agree with you 100%. When I first was planning on getting my dentures my greatest fear was the reaction of people as I got about the business of living. Strangely, I went from that to doing my own videos to help people because yours had helped me so much when I was researching the Ivoclar Vivadent Phonares II teeth. Today, I don't care who knows. I don't shout it from the rooftops but have no problem talking about it if people ask. With dating, I would suggest exactly what you did. You wouldn't go on a first date (hopefully) and tell a harrowing story about a former relationship gone bad or any other intimate details about your life that should come under the headline "TMI." Get to know someone. Know if you're interested and if they are. If someone rejects you for your dentures they are not the supportive, caring person you should have in your life anyway, or they simply don't have the facts. I think that kind of reaction says more about them than it does about you. Great to see you again Kristi!
I couldn't tell those weren't yours. I saw the video of you telling your story and i appreciate you sharing your journey. I had to subscribe you are beautiful. I just had the temp put in and looking forward to the perm and will move on from there. Thank You
Sorry, but I really don't understand why would anyone have a problem with you wearing dentures? People go through all types of procedures to improve/change themselves, from hair transplant to breast implants, nose job etc.
Because people like to judge other base on their appearance, and dealing with critics is hard for most people.
I would have never knew you had dentures they look so natural. . I hope mine will look that good .. thank you for this video means alot to hear this!.
I've been wearing Dentures now for just about a year now. My story isn't all that dissimilar to yours. I just happened to stumble on your channel by chance, but so glad I did! I'm encouraged to share my story now, because of you. Unfortunately I ended up getting a bad dentist, who made me a poor quality set of dentures, and neglected to believe me and caused me to have a piece of dead bone trapped in my upper jaw for over a year and a half, (finally getting removed this Thursday!) that's left me with an infection and poor healing. As far as Dating with Dentures, I'm married, but like you, getting my dentures and being able to talk and smile without trying to hide my mouth or fearing if my teeth are showing and always wondering if people are just staring at my mouth, thinking I'm some kind of drug addict or worse, has definitely made me a more happy and confident person! The right person won't care if you wear dentures or not. My husband loved me before and he's happy that he was able to help me get this done. I shouldn't have put off getting them for as long as I did out of fear, but at the same time, I wish I had found a better dentist before getting the extractions! Thanks for all you do!
You’re amazing thanks for your video ❤️ I’ve lived with dentures my entire life since I was 15 I’m 65 now, it was great to get a bridge and finally not have to pull my dentures out and clean them that was so bad, and now I’m lost my bridge across by four front teeth and I use the bridge like it’s a denture now I just glue it back in but definitely I need to get something done, you are so on point with your comments I felt everything that you talk about ❤️❤️ God bless you
Thank you for this! You have helped me so much in my journey and making the decision! My boyfriend and I are gonna sit down tonight and make a video about dentures from a male perspective so that should be interesting LOL Love you girl! keep it up
Going in tomorrow; thank you for your videos. Has helped my anxiety.
Thank you so much,,i need dentures and have been putting off getting my front teeth pulled and your video makes me feel better about getting the process started.You are so pretty and your teeth look amazing!I am single and i cant wait to have a nice smile!
Wait until they fall in love with you and then reveal you have dentures ;) they won't mind because they love you and they're invested in you now. No need to bring it up on a first date
But isn't that dishonest?
Dishonest? Since when does "honesty" mean full disclosure of every intimate detail when you're just dating?
Only when I would feel we're headed towards life partnership would I feel a need to disclose. Until then, I owe you nothing.
@@dammar117 Well I agree with you mostly. However if your intent is a long-term relationship sooner or later it’s going to be more than just dating. There is a tricky fine line between honesty and disclosure.And it’s not as simple as most people think in my opinion. How this seemingly simple issue is handled reveals a lot about the character of both parties. It’s not black and white in my opinion. I suppose if I had to put a number on it it should be revealed within the first 25 hours of time spent together. By then the emotional potential should be established and chemistry established as well. Hiding an important detail like this any longer could be detrimental. It may not be obvious At first but in time it will become very important. And it’s not about the dentures, it’s about the character. My $.02. Best of luck to you all!
@@305dreamhonda why would you need to disclose the fact that you have dentures as if it somehow is a big deal, that would be like getting mad at your partner because they didint share their political beliefs on the first date what
@@cruxell do what you feel is right, I feel I was clear about my opinion. For most people they won’t care if you have dentures, but most care about honesty. If you don’t disclose for a long time, you decide if that’s honest or not. It’s tricky and every situation is different. My advice is be brave and honest the best you can. Best wishes to you! 🙏
Love the topic... Thanks for sharing!! I was very self conscious about my dentures at first but it’s been about 10 years and I’ve matured a lot... Like you said the prejudice that people have with denture wearers is due to ignorance...!
You give amazing advice young lady. Very useful and insightful. Don't quite know your situation but your significant other is very lucky. Insight like this overlaps all aspects of life. You most likely are or will be a great Mom too. Thanks, I am 64, just found out I need dentures. I am scared and too self conscious, but these videos help a lot. God Bless.
You are a very strong woman. Keep up the good work.
Kristi...great video..but really want to say thank you for the Awesome advice you gave me at my height of frustration!! I was asking you why my Phonares Hybrids were taking So Long, You really put things in Perspective. I guess Good Product takes TIME!! I have just been waiting a year already...Thanks for reminding me..Good things come to those who wait!! Love that ur back...Elise💟
pinky M please let me know when you get them! Really want to know how it works out for you!
It helped me so much!Thank-you so much!
thank you for this, i just came across it, I've been so self-conscious and worried i havent tried to date for several years.
Glad to see you're back! Great video with good advice! Your teeth look beautiful btw. =D
I just want to say thank you for posting this video. I have dentures due to family genes and I’m only 31 I have been severely depressed and not feeling confident, feeling ugly and honestly not wanting to live anymore. I’m single and The dentures I have are cheap and ugly (because I cannot afford anything nice and had to pay out of pocket). But your video helped me so much, it gave me a little hope seeing you. You’re so beautiful and confident I realize that I would not have a problem dating a woman with dentures or implants. Just hopefully one day I will get some help or find a grant so I can get my great smile back until then it does kind of feel hopeless and I don’t know if I will ever meet anyone like this but again, your video gave me the hope I needed tonight so thank you. God bless
Your video really inspire me alot. Thank you so much my friend.
I'm a facial gunshot wound survivor. An I have definitely noticed a large difference in everything. Waiting for swelling to go down before dentures.Then implants 5 month's from now.
Eccentric Detectorist's Best of luck to you, mate & well done surviving a gunshot wound to the face!!! You're incredibly brave & an inspiration!
if someone truly loves you it won't matter
True love is they truly such a thing . Lol 🤣 🤣 hahahaha
You’re soul rocks, I enjoyed immensely every video you made and how passionate you are about this.... ms America
This is very inspiring. Thank you
I think we should change the word “dentures”
Thank you for this! I’m currently dating someone long distance. Been talking more on then off for 1.5 yrs but won’t let him meet me till my mouth reconstruction gets done. I literally have a just 3 jagged teethe left & look like a monster. I finally told him I had to get mouth reconstruction (without the gross descriptive details) cuz didn’t want him to think was just stringing him along. Was super chill about it & been very patient. Feel so blessed I’ve met this man & I’m always worried he’s gonna get frustrated & move on. I love your courage & I’m constantly challenging myself to do more to face my fears. It’s terrifying sometimes but so liberating! The right people stick around & the rest are worth your love & heart.
I’m gonna leave a link to this video in my shared notes. Best way to slide this in 😂
I had no issues with my teeth from the time they started coming in until I was 12, when the dentist I had seen my entire life retired. Unfortunately, I grew up quite poor so I was on state issued insurance & we were given 2 options for a new dentist. One was about an hour away so he was out which left the one I had to see. I always went every 6mths for cleanings & brushed 2x a day, in the previous 12yrs only had 2 cavities. However, after starting the new dentist "suddenly" I started getting cavities constantly according to the dentist. I do have mild OCD, so I became obsessed thinking maybe I needed to brush more. It got so bad I was brushing NO LESS than 6x a day, using mouthwash after each brushing when the mouthwash for kids came out that is supposed to "attract" anything left after brushing so I began using that as well. However, I had gotten use to the burn of regular mouthwash I felt like I was using swishing koolaid, therefore I would use the kids mouthwash then regular ol' Listerine. If I ate or drank anything other than water I would immediately brush my teeth, I kept an extra brush/toothpaste with me at all times. But nothing seemed to help, every trip to the dentist was "another" cavity until it turned into oh you need a root canal. And never once did this dentist say anything about my enamel being eroded away. After graduating & getting a job with insurance at 18, I changed dentists and over the next year's spent thousands trying to fix my teeth. Needless to say I got to the point I was in constant pain for years, it got to the point of not being able to even eat soup with severe pain. So 2yrs ago I was able to get my top teeth pulled. And YES, I later learned that the dentist I had been seeing had actually been shut down & lost his license. He had done the same thing to many of his patients, messing everyone's teeth up. But at that point the damage had been done, & yes I know I didn't help with constant brushing. I've been outta the dating seen for a few years & just started getting back into and this has been my biggest question & fear.
I'm 64 and just had my upper last 5 teeth removed two days ago. The upper set is ready to go in on Monday or Tuesday. They look a lot like yours. I can't tell just by looking that you have dentures. You are stunning in appearance and to listen to as well. Your speech is flawless and your smile is perfect. Thank you for putting this video up here. I am quite pleased with everything at this point. (You have brilliant eyes too.)
Good luck!!
I was so happy you posted again! even though this video doesn't really apply to me. I had plans to start the process but they fell through. for now I'll keep my natural teeth until we can afford it. the problem is, is that my husband has worked so hard and I've been a stay at home mom and don't feel like I deserve him to pay for my problem. he offered to take a loan on his 401k but I just can't accept that...
Thank you. Very helpful!!
You are amazing and your story touched me in so many ways god bless you 😢😢🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜
Thank u so much for this video it really helped me
Thank you so much! You are so helpful. Regards from Athens Greece!,
I see it that its their problem.i see anyone with dentures as one of the most real ppl around theyre amazing ppl in all aspects
5 minutes into this video and yeah I could care less what anybody else think I got divorced 6 years ago and then I lost my tooth my upper about 3 years ago and I was just wondering and it's the first time I've ever typed in dating with dentures so yeah I'm happy I came across your video and thank you very much for the the prep
YES!! Love this! This is all part of the vetting process. Weed out the duds and get to the ones that have substance and care more about you as a whole person.
They're very shallow people and move on ... there are still people out there that, know the important part of a person lays within the heart!!
thanks so much for this you made me actually cry. people have no idea how much it affects people who especially get them younger. I as 36 and 37 now and eight now they don't fit because I got bone spurs and had 3 extra surgeries. my bottoms are way past need to go but it's all about money.
we missed you !!
Glad to be back!
kalinjax you give me hope x
Kathryn Cleary so glad to help❤
At the end of this year I have to have my teeth pulled and I cant afford implants so I have to get dentures, and I have been single over year because I dont like to smile and always scared what the other person will think, but your video most definitely made me feel alot more comfortable with this transformation.
You give the best advice
Completely agree. I call shenanigans and lies in anyone who says they've hid it from a live in spouse for 15 years. Where are you hiding your denture stuff? Everyone has a moment every now and again when they lose suction at the most inconvenient times. The products for dentures are completely different than that of regular teeth. They dont even make the same noise as regular teeth.
For alot of these reasons and more I cant see hiding implants or even a hybridge that long. There are just certain giveaways with fake teeth that will, with time become apparant living with someone.
Me personally dating someone with dentures wouldnt have bothered me at all...even prior to me having to get them. To me it's the same damn thing as someone having a prosthetic leg or arm.
You're doing an amazing job with all your videos. it's a gift from above. I wrote to you before about sharing my store, but couldn't put my hurts and difficulties in through email. I do need dentures plus I have hair lost issues. At this point I'm losing my house, getting a divorce and been on medical leave for almost 3 years. Medical conditions doesn't help the situation, but I am a strong believer in a higher power. I just wish implants were more affordable. I hear so many dentists speak about no more lose dentures, but when ask thier charging price it's way out of many people League. So as our spoke amazing person you are please express this concern to those dentists you speak too. I have big time phobia of anything to do with mouth in general, so I can imagine myself with removable dentures. I give everyone who wears dentures a praise God... because me I'm still stuck in my ugly smiling not... lol... Thank you Kristi.. God bless you always.
Thank you so much for your talk. I FEAR telling my boyfriend. I think I will be single because I just can't tell him.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏 I've been struggeling sooo much with this. First time ever I hear someone talk about this!
I had All my teeth pulled out in july 2019 and I havent been on a date becouse I didnt know how 2 talk about it.. This helps sooooo much!
BIG HUGS FROM DENMARK 💗
Ty! U were a big help!
I am very Greatfull that I was able to watch this video, I feel depress in my current situation since Im on the stage that need to deside in getting my denture. Im a no boy friend since birth person, Since it makes me upset every time I think no one gonna Love me anymore, Because of my situation.. Thanks for this video It helps me a lot to get away of my nightmare... May God bless you more...
I've been watching you forever and you look so beautiful!
I was just told 4 days ago that I have to get about 13 removed. I had a TOTAL meltdown like you said. For HOURS I was bawling. I'm 34, single mother of 4 for the last 3 years. I was devastated. Not only am I TERRIFIED to get my teeth ripped out but I really dont want to go anywhere in public with no teeth. Even during the healing process. So I need to find a place that will give me immediate temp dentures. It's the healing process that has me terrified really. 😭😭
How did it go? X
I’m only 23 and I’ve been suffering from depression ever since I found out that I might have to wear dentures. I tried to die a couple times and literally don’t know what to do. But thank you for the video, I feel a little stronger
Me too same I'm just only 16 years. Old I'm suffering from depression to.
Because no one will love you if you have dentures I'm so obsessed of I'm teeth I don't no what to do
Aleah Cabrera I can totally relate.
Did you experience that no one will like you
How many teeth are lost to you
The hardest thing for me when I had mine was dating. When is the right time to show!! At what point, near bedtime did I put them into soak?! Tough decisions
I think dentures are equated with old age, im 57 and have never heard of a young person going through this, you are very beautiful, and i'm happy you have found your smile, i think when we have bad teeth we are less outgoing because we don't want to smile , i mean i think you should inform a person only if you are serious then you should. But when you smile its like you open up and people are drawn to you.
Love you channel, inspired lots people. Also have inspired me to create my channel
Thanks for the inspiration
