Hi! I am 35 and got my dentures this past Monday (2/22). My husband, children and mother have been great! They all tell me how beautiful I am and just keep telling me to smile. I love them but they are really bothering me. I have been back to the dentist 3 times since Monday because I just don't know what to do, how to act. I was told to sleep in them and keep them in as much as possible to get used to them but no one has been clear as to how long? When I went to the dentist today she put adhesive powder under the bottoms to make it less irritating...should I be using this? The dentist says I am clotting like I should be but what's next? How long will the clots be there? When can I brush my gums? I am not really chewing just yet because I am scared. I have dreams that my teeth just fall out!! I don't go back to work until the 1st of March--is this enough time to be off? Will other people know that I got dentures? Am I doing all this worrying for nothing? When I do the warm salt water soaks, how long should I leave my teeth out? Any insight would be great!!
