Cynthia: You have my sympathy, I have not had trouble with my teeth after the extraction except for the stitches that you have to deal with. Most of my trouble has came along as my gums are shrinking. Just be sure that you do not by accident get th…

Hang in there Cynthia, I had trouble wearing mine for the 1st week...and then I still had to do it in increments...increasing the length till I could "stand" them in. I have never been able to keep mine in for long without adhesive...but would recco…

Hey guys - my oral surgeon warned me that the gums have to 'toughen up' which takes awhile - hence the soreness. Everyone's different - but she said that around a month should do it. Hope that helps (Me - I'll be using that as an excuse to eat all…

My upper front is just like that, my dentist called it an undercut, he said that with time it will smooth out and settle down. Always, Linda

When I had my two upper front teeth extracted and wore a flipper that area was sore for awhile then it went away - it took a month or so as I recall

Cynthia commented on Pam's blog post 'How many wearers have your name on dentures ?????'

I asked my dentist about my name being tattooed on mine and he told me that it's mostly done for the people at the lab where the dentures/partials are made so that the right appliance ends up with the right patient. Kind of like the bracelet the hos…

Ya, you might need a little shaved off at the bump area . You could try it or go to the dentist . It probably doesn't take much ?

I know what you mean. Mine was extremely sore and a little swollen for a week or so after my e-day. It's calmed down now though. If you don't see improvement, I'd call the dentist.

glad to hear your teeth are better...an adjustment makes a world of difference. In a few weeks you should get a reline and then they will be even better. At first I used lots of adhesive and now after my reline I wear none. Soo comfy! Keep them in w…

Cynthia - sounds like you and I have about the same "E" date. I was MISERABLE last week. I have huge pain tolerance (I have rheumatoid arthritis) but this was beyond excrutiating. On top of that - I smoke and LOVE to eat - neither of which is easy a…
