Re: New dentures - getting used to
When my husband started with dentures he found the only way to get used to them and stop the pain was just bite the bullet and wear them, only take them out to clean them over night, but straight back in his mouth in the morning.Re: New dentures - getting used to
oh Jazzi, I'm sorry you're in so much discomfort. I can't offer any advice as I haven't been there. I do know if the "bite" isn't right then it can cause horrendous discomfort. I had a cap put on a tooth last year and the bite was too high and my mouth was aching. I had to get it filed down. What a relief. Just make sure it's okay. I've a feeling that although it feels bad, in a day or two it might calm down. If not then you'll need to see the dentist again. You shouldn't have to put up with this discomfort for too long in this day and age.Re: New dentures - getting used to
It's mainy because I have been suffering pain in several places for a number of weeks now, including shooting up into my head, and he is convinced it is neuralgic. And he says the gum is only inflamed around the molar, with no sign of infection. He tested a few teeth (checking if they were 'live') by applying something and asked if they felt cold.Re: New dentures - getting used to
Re: New dentures - getting used to
My hubby has partial dentures top & bottom. He got used to the top ones quite quickly but has never got on with the bottom set... He puts them in to eat and takes them straight out again.
