Julie replied to Ally's discussion 'Silly Question But Did You Brush Your Teeth On Your Eday?'

Your dentist will be checking for any signs of infection in your frequent post-e-day extractions. I brushed my teeth on e-day really well - even used floss. Sort of saying good-bye I think. LOL

Julie replied to Jerri's discussion 'ready to say F*** it'

Every day gets a little better. It's a huge adjustment. This really is the best place (along with your dentures) to ask about any concerns. There's always someone who has had the same problem you're experiencing. Good luck!

Julie replied to Monique's discussion 'October 28th is my E-day.'

It's so ! true - life is so much better when you are no longer obsessed with your teeth! It's not easy and some have more problems than others, but I think most of us would never go back even if we could. Anxiety is very normal. I can't imagine anyo…

Julie replied to Peggie Green's discussion 'Thought I was Menopausal but I'm wondering if it's just post-denture syndrome'

For me, having to get dentures was a defeat of all the years I spent trying to save my teeth. I think it's almost like the grief process too. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Acceptance - they all fit if you think about it. I'm well past acceptance - so a…

Julie replied to kelly smith's discussion 'AHHHHHHH!'

I had no pain the first few days and then all of a sudden about a week in I could have cried when I had to take them out and put them back in. That lasted for a few days and then seemed to resolve itself. I have no idea why that happened, but it's j…

Julie replied to Ally's discussion 'How Did You Go Through This Without Exploding'

I thought the same thing. Anxiety level was sooooo high I didn't think I'd be able to do it. I dreamed of teeth falling out, thought of every horror scenario (none of which happened). I spent hours on this website looking for encouragement. In the e…

Julie replied to Sharon's discussion 'Off to dentist...another broken tooth'

I haven't been here in a while - because my dentures are no longer an issue with me - unlike several months ago, when I lived on this board. I didn't understand then how people drifted away. The reason is, the trauma is over and we're (most of us) s…

Julie replied to Chris's discussion 'Texting while Driving Kills.'

Some studies have shown that texting while driving is even more dangerous than drunk driving. Sometimes when there's an accident on tv I wish they would say if the person was using their cell. It's really crazy how many people do it. I'm a little ol…

Julie replied to Ally's discussion 'Did anyone's teeth come out while your dentist was making the mold'

I was afraid of the same thing. My teeth broke off when I just looked at them! But they stayed in for the mold. I haven't heard of this happening to anyone, and I've been on this site for almost a year.

Julie replied to Cindy's discussion 'Denture got STUCK!'

From everything I've read on this board, there is no trick, but I do what Lori said. I swish some warm water in my mouth before trying to take them out with adhesive. The worst part is the gunk stuck on the roof of your mouth. I wish there was an ea…

Julie replied to Stacy Collins's discussion 'less than 3 days, and getting scared :-\'

It's a slow process getting used to the dentures. For me, there was hardly any pain, but eating and talking took a while. I had sore spots in the beginning that the dentist took care of immediately. I would say that working with a dentist you trust…

Julie replied to Elizabeth Foster's discussion 'Anyone have strange dreams in regards to dentures?'

Before my denture, I used to dream all the time that my teeth were falling out. (Some actually did...not dreaming.) I used to have a partial and did go to work one morning without it. I still had teeth in the front, but the sides were pretty much al…

Julie replied to zyerne51's discussion 'Our Friend Bren'

My local TV station has a "health" as well as a "consumer" reporter. They do pieces about all kinds of problems people are having. Most times, there's an update a few days later saying some wealthy person has stepped up to help the unfortunate perso…

Julie replied to Luvtosew's discussion 'where do most people go to a regular dentist'

My dentist whom I've gone to for over 20 years did my dentures. He, with my blessing, put up the good fight to save my teeth. But finally, he suggested to me that dentures might be the way to go. I trust him completely and am thrilled with my dentur…

Julie replied to Chicken Little's discussion 'Do you scrap your old dentures??'

LOL...that's a new one. May not be a bad idea to throw the silver parts in with your old jewelry and try to sell it.

Julie replied to Kahli's discussion 'PLEASE READ!'

So happy to hear you're doing well. Don't worry about what's "normal". There is no such thing. Just smile and enjoy!
