Thursday I had 9 teeth extracted, and lower dentures added. The extraction was not as bad as I thought. I had the novicaine, lidocaine, numbing agent, was not put to sleep. The dentist pulled them, put in my lower denture and sent me home. I didn't expect it to be a smooth transition, but wow...I went back to dentis 24 hours later, he took denture out, fixed a spot, I rinsed and put them back. He told me to start taking them out at night, and put back in, in the am. I have done everything exactly as he has told me, and I am miserable. Last night was the 2nd night I took them out, and this morning was not much improvement when compared to the first morning. It has only been 3 days. Oh, and by the way, the strongest pain medication I have is Ibuprofen 800. Does this seem normal to anyone? I am truly miserable. I thought about leaving dentures in tonight, but scared there may be consequences. If anyone has any advice, please let me know? And to think I have to have upper done after new year...I would greatly appreciate your advice...
