Thanks for the heads up! I’ve pinned your comment so others can be warned.

Don't you guys get paid for this ?You're a f*ckin doctor please act like one , saying i have no compassion for them is the worst thing you can say as a doctor smh 😔

i really would like to meet you for 5 mins to change your mind

Boo hoo.....REALLY? GET OUT OF THE PROFESSION!You have no empathy for people! How do you know what caused their tooth loss? Accident, genetics, domestic abuse, disease (not of the person's neglect) HOW DARE YOU!!!! You sound like a BIG 👶 BABY!!!!!

Retirement, sounds like something that could work out well for you.

My dentist didn’t explain ANYTHING to me, didn’t even ask me what color I wanted.. Smdh

Thank you 🙏

Thanks I needed to here that, I’m getting upper dentures next week I’m terrified

@@richerich9238 We’re in the same boat. If something isn’t right let your dentist know. We will adapt I’m sure you have during you’re path of tooth loss. Good luck and do your research of what to expect but don’t accept something that may not be right with your dentures.

It’s a shame the implant industry is so profit driven instead of being helpful and affordable. I’ve been quoted $40k to $80k and it’s disgusting and disheartening since the majority of people aren’t rich. There are probably many that have contemplated suicide from going through tooth loss knowing they won’t have their natural teeth and going through all the changes. Without teeth or dentures it dramatically changes your facial structure. From looking young to looking like an elderly person in a short time.

Hope you’re doing better now.

Can you still taste food as the same with real teeth 🦷?

​@@grandblaster57good question! 👍

Not far behind you.

I'm only 50 and am getting mine next week full top bottom partials.

Hang in there. I had such a difficult time with the whole experience but I have finally mastered the art of wearing dentures 😂😂😂. Watch all of the videos on this subject that you can and you will get great bits of advice from each one or most of them anyway. Kalinjax is the best. Good luck 🤞🍀❤

Nothing can motivate you to want your teeth pulled more than tooth pain. I am so grateful mine hurt or I never would have gone through with it.

How are you doing now? I go get mine in 2weeks.

Bro I’m having my teeth pulled in two weeks and I’m scared out of my mind but you comment made me feel so much better and I even laughed when you said “dude”. That’s exactly how I talk. I even say dude when talking to girls. 😂

Thank you! I just got my new full set of dentures today and I tried eating and just broke down crying 😭 then I saw this video and your reply :) I’ll give it some time!

​@markbailey7584 I had mine done 1.5 months ago. Eating will be easier when you're able to use adhesive after you've healed up some. I ate with mine out for 2 weeks until I got a soft liner and was able to use adhesive. And even then I had spots that hurt when chewing. I went back in and they made some adjustments that helped. Everyday gets a little easier. If you got any questions just ask I'll be more than happy to answer if I can.

she does not have dentures in this video ... she has implants. Time stamp 8:10

​@@almoemasonya I thought that's what she said so why is she giving a video on dentures she had them for a long time???

@@lorasamario5969 You are asking the wrong person. Ask her.

As soon as she mentioned implants, I shut it off…

She wore the dentures for quite a while. So she does know what she’s talking about! Then she switched to implants much later.

I had a too pulled under the gums after Thanksgiving too it was so painful I know that I'm more than likely going to have to get full dentures eventually

It is, indeed, a rough road for a while

Just went through the same hell and it sucks, I know it will get better for me and for all whom endeavor but damn it man I want a filet mignon so bad it hurts, fried chicken toooooo. 😉

Congrats on your new journey! Has mines done the day after Thanksgiving! It's been a major adjustment, just got my first reline done yesterday today im eating a mcdouble and fries 😁😁 #denturegang🤘

Hi i am a 60yo male, wait until your final reline, try and hang out at least 6 months, I also had 16 teeth extracted because my teeth were loose, now they are out the scary part is over for you my friend :)

I’m one month and a week in; and I’ve dropped around 25 pounds. I used a food processor to pulverize the food my wife fixes us for supper. My mornings are 46g Elite Chocolate protein shake from Fairlife. SAMS sells them $35.00 for 10 in TN. My other morning breakfast option is Noosa yogurt with a vanilla flavored protein powder from Walgreens. Lunch is one of the above or soup with a piece of toast torn up in it. I’m having a terrible time with my lower immediate denture, the top is OK. Two days ago, I used adhesive for the first time. I was able to eat some soft food without puréeing it. But I hate trying to clean this out of my mouth. I’d rather not eat than to use this stuff. I know your comment I’m replying to is over a year old; still praying you’ve found a way to be able to eat since posting.

You are excellent at explaining all this information THANK YOU!

I’m 57. Just got dentures. The teeth are beautiful. But right now it feels like extra weight in my mouth. Hopefully in time it will get better. Reading your review made me feel better🙏🏻

@@diamondjewel5640 so awkward in the beginning, it’s hard to believe at first that they would end up so much better than my real teeth were. Glad I could encourage. Peace.

@@diamondjewel5640 Yes, you got to get used to them. It might take a few months.

You are not supposed to leave your denture in 24/7 because your palate needs to breathe is what the dentist told me. Have you had any problems doing that? I’d like to do that too but 3 dentists have said I should leave them out at night.

​​@@evelynfussell174Meh.....I've had eye doctors tell me you can't wear disposable lenses for long periods of time or it will for SURE damage your eyes. I have worn the SAME pair of disposable lenses for YEARS and never taken them out once. I do end up changing them eventually because I rub my eye and tear one or something.... but I HAVE GONE to the eye doctor over those years several times and my eyes are peachy keen. Lol I would say try it .....monitor it. If you find it getting irritated or sensitive or anything.....then take em out 🤷‍♀️

Hope it's all going OK for you Steve 💜

I hope you get through it man :)

I hope you get through it man :)

Just reading your story - God Bless you, hope it all goes well - Cheers

You got this!!!

Just got mine a week ago. Please please please! Know that you will have a hard time eating..... I had a piece in the back that was rubbing really bad and it felt like my only relief was to take them out. If that's the case, go in. A good dentist will take you right then and there. Also mine included the cost of how ever many times they need adjusted, for the first year, when giving me my bill.

I am super self conscious about it too btw... I absolutely go through moments of grief over my teeth... not sure if that's a big thing for most people or not but in my case it is. I will also tell you it's kinda hard to get over the new lisp. I still have mine but I was told to sing when possible and it could help. Seems to be helping. My bf also used to have a lisp growing up so he gave me some speech therapy tips. I plan on digging through KZfaq tonight for speech therapy lessons. Lol Just a few ideas that I hope could help you. 🙏 ❤

I, too, had cancer (in my tonsil and tongue). From the radiation I have had the same problem with my teeth. In the process of getting dentures. Top are in and next week bottom. Ugh This has helped.

@@pamelaripple4645 I hope you are well now. I am so very you have been through so much.

@@pamelaripple4645I to had the same cancer as urself my teeth started to crumble at the front top the dentist believes in trying to save them as roots ar healthy,i wish she would pull them all out the pain am going through with bleeding inflammation in the gum 😢❤

My husband also has started to cook steaks in the crockpot,so I can eat with my dentures.

I understand.

Congrats!!

I was so scared to go for my removal. I have a top denture for 4 months then I get the implant screws on top I have 7 front teeth on the bottom and parcel to complete the bottom set. It is very very expensive and even though I have insurance there was no one in my network to give me a denture that was except able and they def don't cover a parcel. I had to save for a very long time with my fiansce to get this done. But I'm so glad I did and I'm only 3 weeks in. I can't eat correctly yet but I know I will be able to. The parcel is giving me more issue than the denture

That's awesome to hear..happy for you....I must say I've seen this channel grow...imagine starting a channel about losing your teeth, sharing you life and experience..this lady has immense courage and she has probably helped thousands of people in similar situations...

I don't have dentures but gum recession due to a number of factors ..4 surgeries later..tens of thousands of dollars spent....visits to soooo many periodontists and dentists....I guess I'm saying I know what its like to have sheet mouth problems....I think its actually changed me as a person mentally.....I lost a spark for life, I lost that joy...anyway, sheet happens I guess..love to all you guys and all the best

Me too

I stayed in for years and barely ate. Keeping my bad teeth that long was a huge mistake. I was so scared of the dentist and removal of 20+ teeth all at once. But, it went so quickly and I had no complications. I was so relieved to face that blown up fear and my teeth were finally out. I didn't even need a pain killer. I did get sedation and I didn't feel a thing. I am 5 days in having temporary dentures after letting my mouth heal for 3 months. It's amazing going shopping and being able to smile at people again. The kiddos no longer stare. It cost me $5500, for full mouth extraction and sedation. Just go do it. Move forward and your life will change. God bless

Russell Klein makes the best denture, partials or whatever and he is very affordable. It is done by mail, but he is awesome to work with.

Thank you 🙂

Thanks I'll look into it 🙂

So happy to help!

I feel your pain

I'm 31 and female, trying to get dentures- it's really scary but I can't take these sharp broken teeth any longer either, I dont want this pain I've had since I was 10, and constant infections that could kill me

Yeah man I rekted my teef from bad hygiene and meth, man let me tell you my top mouth hurts like hell man, I have parendetitis really badly,sheesh glad u feel better

At 39 years old you probably shouldn't be in the position of having any of your teeth pulled, never mind 14! I didn't have my first tooth pulled until I was 64 !

Where u going wiv Ur 6 months healing my sis said 6 weeks all my top teeth havto go must get dentures just on top but I'm used of having no top teeth been bullied on and off line 24.7 x

@@user-zx1fe8bn8r I went to my local dentist who does not do instant dentures (same day.) Dr. Smith, knowing the expense of dentures, recommends his patients be six months healed (swelling gone) before fitting the dentures. My teeth were removed late May, my first fitting was end of October and, one week before Thanksgiving (Nov.) I walked out of his office with my new teeth. There were two follow up visits to adjust the fit and my first annual checkup the next November included relining.

So how do you and your new teeth feel now?

Six months😢 I'm fortunate mine were immediate, no down time

Basically same for me at least being able to smile again is amazing!

Good to hear. Happy for you.

I've had dentures for a year and I need to use glue just to keep them in (my dentist did say I might need new ones after a few months), I've just been fitted for new ones, when I get them will I still need to use glue?my dentist doesn't tell me much.

You have more energy after your teeth were pulled? 🤔 Serious question... get all my teeth pulled (well, the 3 1/2 remaining and all the pieces) and get immediate dentures in like a week and a half to two weeks.

@@fadedillusions867 My Dad felt that way too; he said because he wasn't in pain all the time that he felt he had more energy, and wanted to do more. I hope you are well.

I was told you can’t have dentures without having both dentures???

Go to Thailand or Turkey.... Honestly for the trip and everything and all the work you will still save and they are ranked higher than American dentists doing the same thing.

How are you doing now?

Same! So good to know I m not alone.

I went recently, had all of my raggedy teeth removed at once & left with a full set of temporary dentures. I wanted an oral surgeon to perform it so that i could be put to sleep for the extractions but I settled on another place who gave me a much sooner appt than my regular dentist and the local oral surgeon. With an oral sedative, I was able to get them all removed with minimal pain & discomfort. Day 2 & I'm eating pizza in very small pieces with yea, u guessed it (with a fork & knife). Before the dentures, I ate foods and drank drinks at room temperature, but on day one (yesterday), I enjoyed my very favorite ice cream for the 1st time in years. I'm still kind of numb, so I've bitten my lower lip a few times, but I'm hoping to get better at chewing within a few days. And guess what? I can actually taste my pizza just as I had tasted my ice cream yesterday. Please note tho, my gums are still very sore, but at least the bleeding stopped, and it is taking me a very long time to eat these small pieces of pizza. I'm praying that this isn't the norm and it's only bcus my dental work is freshly done. Also, bcus I'm still experiencing a little numbness, I've bitten my bottom a few times, but nothing serious like drawing blood. Hope this helps. P.S. I plan to keep my dentures in at all times except when I clean them bcus IM TOO YOUNG FOR DENTURES😅😅😅 however, i now have the absolute best smile... i love it. I didn't choose the brightest white dentures. I chose a more natural shade bcus TO ME, bright white looks like veneers and i'd like my dentures to go unnoticed by others❤

Are u ok?

@@Nobody13906 yes I’m ok thank you

I would suggest trying to keep 'anchor' teeth for the bottom denture, if you can. Full dentures on the bottom are notoriously harder to keep in.

Lol, what a advice,i would rather brush my teeth

You lost some script, you forgot that you were addict

Please share the name of adhesive that you used?

The adhesive I found that works decent for me is Polygrip Power Hold and Seal.

I am in the same boat as you. Im on day 9. Soo hungry! I too am so grateful for these videos.

Alcohol, vomit. I'm sober with no molars now.

I have two years clean and sober they

I hope it all goes well for you and quickly becomes a distant memory. I am 24hrs along after 5 removals and an immediate top plate inserted. Already I feel happier and not embarrassed to smile anymore. I hope you post again once you've had the work done.

I hope you can get it done soon. Mine are not great either I have put it off because of fear and money too. But if I don’t get rid of these teeth. Eventually an infection will kill me. I have wonderful husband and 25 year old son. Beautiful 2 year old granddaughter. Changing my diet and adjusting to worth it.

I'm in a similar situation. I'm about to be 43 on Sept 12. 5 days ago, I had to have my 7th extraction since I was in my early 20s, due to infection. The one before that was infected & abscessed. I have so much bone loss from having teeth pulled, that one of my bottom, front incisors is always loose because there's not enough bone left to hold it in place. This of course makes biting anything a challenge, since I'm constantly worried about that tooth falling out. I have only been able to chew on my right side for yrs & it's making those teeth bad & painful to eat as well. All my incisors are so sensitive it hurts to eat, hot or cold, even breathing through my mouth the air hitting them hurts. They also told me I have paradontal disease. A few years ago, I cracked my front tooth on my hula hoop & 2 winters ago it chipped off. I have barley anything left to chew or bite with. I'm finally ready for dentures. I have always taken care of my teeth, but they just keep getting worse. Bad genes I guess. I also have a blood clotting disorder, which makes my blood so thick, it does not circulate as well as it should. I believe that has something to do with it as well? Not sure what my insurance covers yet. Hoping the cost of getting immediate healing dentures is not too expensive? I live on a limited income, so saving takes time. I'll take bottom of the barrel since as you said, anything has to be better then this!! I've been told my insurance should cover the extractions. It's the rest I'm worried about being able to afford. I feel your pain! 😉

I’m so happy for you! Best of luck in your healing!

Same here, but six months ago, I bite my tongue and cheeks quite a bit, still learning. Don't give up! Love my smile now

Your hubby will love you more...if that is possible. You will be happier, ie, happy wife, happy life.

How much bone loss have you had? Can you tell the difference?

@@Brenleysage I only noticed bone loss after getting my full denture… my prosthedontist says it’s pretty quick the first six months, then slows down quite a bit after

@@LaunceBugbee how much did your face change in those six months?

I’m 2 weeks in myself. It has been a challenge but just listening to this lady was so encouraging Ty . Good luck on your new journey. I am praying for great success for both of us .

100% correct

I'm glad you said this,I don't know how many times people have told me not to sleep with them, and I really want to have them in all the time.I didn't get immediate dentures I had my teeth pulled on June 27th and waited 3 weeks to start the denture process and it was week 6 before I even got them

It’s been 6 years for my process and 3 different dentists They hurt as soon as I put them in I wear for a couple hours cause the pain is so bad and my face is swollen in the morning. Any advice please

While there is some truth in what you are saying, it's is different from individual to individual As a dentist, I tell my patients not to wear them at night. The gum tissue is just like any other tissue in the body and needs time to repair after a denture has say I'm them all day. It's the same as person working out arms or legs in a gym, rest repairs and makes new tissue grow. Second, many people grind and clench during sleep. Just like mentioned in the video, grinding and clenching can break the dentures or teeth. These pieces can be aspirated into the lungs while breathing during sleep and can cause a severe lung abscess or pneumonia. Last, if the denture stay in place all day and night, ulcers can occur from tissue break down. The mouth contains yeast microbes that can get into the ulcers and grow creating a major infection. These microbes can live in the tiny spaces of your denture as well causing repetitive yeadt infections. The main thing is to be educated and to clean your dentures as well as your mouth, and know wearing dentures is an individual experience. What tips and tricks that works for one person does not work for all people. The end result is sickness, damage to the denture, and more expense out of your pocket hoping the denture can be fixed.

@STIGMATA Στίγματα Linda Glendenning well you practice however you want. They are your patients to do with as you see fit.

4 total implants, they wanted me to mortgage my house.

I got mine about 6 days ago, I haven't eaten much, but last night I tried lasagna. It was a little bit of a battle, but I got it. The learning curve is real. And this made me feel a little better. I go for adjustments tomorrow!

Hey Elizabeth, how are you doing after 5 months with your dentures?

Hello Elizabeth, I read your comment im new towards getting front Dentures. My top teeth need dentures and have good teeth lower but need lower part dentures. How do you feel when you got your Dentures. Im 56 and i want to smile again.

How are they feeling now?

@@toowoombawoodfiredpizza much better with soft liners. But my bottoms don’t fit at all. I think my gums were swollen before surgery, and now that it’s healed they are too big. I go back in 2 weeks to see if they can help with them. I’m glad these videos mentioned to have patience! 😂

@@kmrw18 What are soft liners?

You will be able to eat most foods. Cut meats into thin, small pieces. Broccoli and cauliflower can be bought "riced" or you can do it yourself. Cauliflower can be boiled and mashed like you do potatoes and it's good piled up the some butter. Italian bread is so chewy it can pop your denture out unless its dipped in soup broth. Made a lot of casseroles for mom using ground meat or made ground meat with gravy and put it over mashed potato. Biting and tearing/pulling is challenging but cutting things like pizza or a meatball sub into pieces does work.

I received my dentures the first week in feb. I have problems with them. About all i can eat is without dentures.thank you for your vidio im 71 fixing to be 72 on 3 months and im happy i dont have to do it again

I'm in the same boat as you. I had the same cancer as Eddie VanHalen. Lost the base of my tongue, which I can't even notice now, but the radiation to my head & neck destroyed my once beautiful teeth. Did you have to have hyperbaric chamber treatments prior to extraction?

I have dentures 50 years i really hate them nothing like your own teeth my stamach and colon got trouble cant digest food and have gas and ascid reflux never that that ever before all the foods i ate before can not chew and digest do whatever you can to save your teeth please dentures are no joke i made sure i got portion teeth front 6 top and bottom plastic dont chew good luck

STRENGTH TO YOU, MAY GOD COMFORT YOU AND KEEP YOU STRONG 🙏🏿❤️

Paul S. I have had two surgeries and radiation for oral cancer in my right jaw, in the last three years. So I only have teeth on the left side of my jaw. My cancer surgeon tell's me that there is not enough bone left to put in implants. So I'm considering getting a partial lower denture but I'm concerned about whether it will stay in place when chewing. It's a tough decision for me as my dentist tells me I first would to have a surgeon remove the scar tissue from the two previous surgeries and have a skin grafted in to make room for the denture. Has anyone had success with a lower partial only attached to teeth on the opposite side? Thanks.
