Wear my tops only

Posted: March 15, 2010 10:01 am

  I need some help.  See,I only wear my top dentures so you can imagine that I still have the bones on the bottom jaw.  The problem I have is that when I wear my dentures I want to bite down on the bones on the bottom this makes it sore were I don't want to put my top dentures in the next day.

My dentist told me to wear the bottom to get used to them however I found that I was gagging on the blood too much so I stopped wearing the bottoms and I need so adice from anyone that wears their top dentures only.  Also ho can one eat and yes they have been relined

june 17, 2010 i have full upper (immediate denture, pulled 6 front upper teeth and partial lower dentures( back molars has been gone like 5 yrs ago and decided to have the lower partial together with the immediate upper denture). i hated my lower that i didn't wear them while my front upper gums were swollen. second month, i tried to wear my lower and everytime i bite down, i feel pain in my lower gums. i went back to my dentist and she put a white cream on my lower dentures and asked me to wear them and bit down really hard. then she took it out and check the spot that doesnt have the white cream anymore. she said this means that that part has to be grinded. and so she did. now i can wear my lower denture with fixodent and can talk without pain in my gums. im still in the process of learning how to talk with it and to be honest, i take the lower denture out when i eat. my next goal is to try to eat with my lower denture. ill post it here when im succesful. what bothers me now is on my second month, i feel like gagging (did you experience that?). but im trying to tell myself that it's all in the mind. i'll see my dentist on september 18 (my third month) for reline. i hope the reline will fix the gagging. ill post here to any updates on my situation.

Thank you for your comment, it gives me hope. You're right I shouldnt be in pain by now but its kind of a long story. See I have something called Lupus and Hemolityc Anemia and I don't work, therefore I dont have insurance or money to see a dentist or get expensive dental work such as dentures so I got it done in Mexico and I plan to go back for an adjstment fon not right now.... As for the looks, because of my illness and the dental problems I lost a lot of weight and its taking longer to gain some weight back. But you know what? I dont feel that lonely anymore since I found this site and can talk to people that understand me.  Thanks again.. Keep me in mind if you want to chat!

Hi. If you got dentures in October and are still having pain, you definitely need to go back and have an adjustment.  Something is definitely not right as you should be pain free by now (it took me about 2 months going back twice for minor adjustments). Once you do not have pain and wear them (both) you will definitely improve your self esteem as I'm sure your appearance has improved too. And as you wear them more, your speech will also improve. Hang in there and see your dentist for the needed adustment(s). Good luck. Ken
