Denture Problems (please help) part 2 - Dental Health Message Board

Okay I will do it. For those of you who dont check this thread often this is a continuation of a previous thread that was just taking to long to load for some.

Well, I still have my teeth in, not suppose to take them out for 2 days. But I aint promising Ill make it. I have a slight sore on the bottom right where a new bone spur is really hurting me. And from what I have been able to discover on the bone spurs is that the longer your roots extended into the jaw bone the higher the chance of getting bone spurs. Bone spurs are the tiny fragments of bone that are between each tooth supporting it and holding it in position. The deeper your root extends the more bone fragments the larger the possiblity of bone spurs.

Chatty, you are just never happy. First they are to loose, now you cant get them out. Boy you canadians are picky people. JK you know I love ya.

Dee, what exactly is old lady music???? The sixtys???? Tread softly here when answering that. LOL

Pam welcome back, I am so glad that you were able to enjoy the wedding and eat. I still cant eat steak, but I do dream of it alot. From what I have been able to understand I guess the issue with lettuce is that with dentures you chew with an up and down motion to break up the food, with your natural teeth you use a tear and rip type of motion. I am not allowed to do the lettuce thing, so I haven't tried it YET.

OHOHOH, I got the call, NO MORE ANTIBIOTICS for me. Yahoo. I can go later tonight when hubby gets home to have the port\pikk line taken out. I am so happy for that. Now maybe people wont give me a double take when it looks like my left boob is up in shoulder. LOL

Hope all is great with everyone.

Good Morning!

Only problem I seem to be having (other than a few sore spots that need to be adjusted) is the one area where dentist said he had to cut open gum a bit and go after the root of one tooth .. it's there that he took a stitch up into the gum itself ... and now it's starting to hurt a bit.

The dentist that was filling in for my regular dentist took the stitch out of it, and the oral surgeon said the stitch was suppose to stay in and disinegrate on it's own. Hmmmm??? I just might call oral surgeon today and have him take a look at it.

Cleaned house last night, colored hair a really sexy dark brown (shows off my green eyes better), and this week and week-end will be much cooler and low humidity, thank goodness!

Ya'll have a great day!

Oh, that was sooo much faster to look at this page! Love that! Thanks Casey. Congrats on no more anti-biotics!!! I hate taking that stuff, makes everything taste funny when I have too, and I always feel yucky too. That port must of been a big bummer to have. You'll just feel like a free women once again! Good for you.

Chatty, hope everything goes great for the wedding. Your smile will be lovely, think positively or you'll just stress yourself needlessly girl. lol

Someone said on our last post....(Dee, or semperwife?) they went and bought some paste to glue in there denture, I heard it gets pretty messy and the fixadent powder is better, don't need too much of it either.

Dee, I hope they didn't take out a stitch too many! If it was starting to heal good, maybe it was time even though they were the dissolving ones. Not sure how long it takes. Yes it is finally cooling off here too. I can't take the heat too well. What good is summer if your stuck inside with the air on.

My dentures are still doing good. Hopefully I can keep these temp. ones for a while yet. It's going to cost me a bundle to get the permanant ones made, right now it would be awfully tough to do. I'll have these 1yr. Oct.27th. So I do have a ways to go. Bet my dentist is wondering when I'll call for a reline....lol.....have managed to use just the right amount of glue to keep them in good. Hopefully I won't have to go for awhile yet.

More running to do today, every have a great day. Love this new faster post.Diana

Diana:

I did buy Fixodent paste ... but after talking to my sister who was a nurse, I've decided to go with Sea Bond. They're the whole piece that just fits inside the denture and work really well. She said most of her patients used that and loved it.

I'm buying some today, will let you know how it goes.
