Reply to Does getting dentures hurt?

Posted: January 27, 2011 3:11 pm

well i just had 10 teeth extracted immediate upper and lower dentures all in one day and the cost was 3000.00 dollars and the dentures hurt like crazy when there in but you have to keep them in the first couple of days i guess because of swelling but when i take them out to rinse with salt  water and go to put them back in they really hurt and as far as eating it's ganna be awhile before i eat normal food right now when i eat i take the dentures out because i guess that since they are new i can't even think of biting on something cause it hurt's i've been eating soft food like pasta mashed potatoes boneless chicken thing's of that nature but they say in time it gets better i have to get them relined in like 8 to 10 weeks hopefully i'll be used to them by then might have go in and get an adjustment first to maybe ease this gum pain but in the long run it's all worth it when you smile more self esteem confidence can smile now with out putting my hand over my mouth get it done it's not as bad as you think the extractions went well did'nt feel nothing but after the novacaine wears off look out gums will be throbbing i did'nt get no pain medication fogot to ask the dentist but if it gets worse i will call him for something to ease this annoying gum pain had to get this off my chest hope it help's someone like i said it's not that big of a deal when you get your teeth out it's after just make sure you tell him to give something for pain afterwards now go get it done and have a beautiful smile
