You have to wear them to get used to them. Stay in touch with the dentist and try to get a feel for what his/her expectations are for you. Everyone heals at a different rate and everyone adapts to wearing the dentures differently.


Keep a note book about your experiences and take it with you to the dentist. Write in it what each day has brought you in terms of successes and failures. Don't get discouraged as this is a totally new experience.


Remember that you have had major surgery and part of your body removed, it is being replaced with a prosthesis so there is emotional trauma as well as physical trauma to deal with.


Have someone close to you that you can share your feelings and experiences with- talk to people. Do not become a recluse.


Talking will come in time as will eating- little bites, chew evenly on both sides of your mouth, clean your dentures after eating, rinse your gums with warm salt water often.





Hope this helps,

2 if it slips during eating it probably doesn t fit well .. get it cheked





3 start with soft diet
Reply:I think what it comes down to is time.....you won't get used to them overnight but over a number of weeks they will start to mesh in with your mouth and you won't notice them as much. Yes a soft diet would also help %26amp; please clean them everyday otherwise all the gunk will eventually adhere to them and make them smell awful
