Hope replied to Summer Brady's discussion 'Fixident??? WHo needs it?'

Hi Summer, I have had my upper for 8 months now. Sometimes I use adhesive and the one I think works best is Fiodent Powder. The powder is A LOT eaiser to remove than the other kinds of adhesives. Regular fixodent you have to kind pf pick off your ...

Honestly, my daughter has a major illness that is at times life-threatening. My husband had a fall and ended up in hospital this week with a smushed sternum. Luckily he did not have a stroke or heart attack. My daughter is my inspiration, because ...

Hope - The below post post is an example of why people don't post here with problems. Your point that not everyone is always happy happy happy with their dentures - temp or final was completely missed. I only check this site now because I'm conce...

Hey Amy, I have a full upper and I was freaked about the kissing too. It took a while (7 months) but I finally feel comfortable kissing my husband and he says he cannot tell any difference. I wondered too about the french kiss but again he says it...

Hope replied to peggy's discussion 'Feeling a bit discouraged with lower denture'

Hi Peggy, The one thing I learned is just keep bugging your dentist untill they get it right. Tell them what your concerns are and ask how they plan on fixing it. Ask what will change when the swelling goes down on that one side. Chances are that ...

Well it's been 8 months

It's been 8 months now since I got my full upper. I still have work to do on the bottom but the upper was not done right so I plan on getting a new upper when I do the lower work.

These days I find my self getting more and more accustomed to it. My upper denture is begining to feel like my mouth now. I don't seem to be freaking out about something with it everyday as I was, but it has taken time.Things like too much saliva or not enough saliva. Using adhesive or not using it. I try to remain ve… Continue

Sometimes I just get tired of dealing with it

Today is June 29th in a week I will have had an upper denture for 5 months. I think it was easier at first in someways because I kept thinking just another day, or week or whatever till I get my perms then it will be magically better. Well it has not been magically better. I should not really complain , I can eat and talk and things like that but this denture was poorly made at best and i could just go out and get another made but if I'm going to have another whole denture made I think I should… Continue

They made 3 wax try ins and finally a new upper... it seem to fit ok for a few days then I began to notice it really did not stay in well, not e… Continue

My dentist is going to be out of town next week so hes seeing me on a Saturday. I'm going to tell him about the gagging and a couple of other things bothering. me. Hopefully it will all last until he gets back in town. :)
