Hi all, 3 weeks ago I had to have all my remaining teeth extracted, and was given immediate dentures, since then I have asked my dentist to adjust them twice as they were painful to wear, I also told him that the plates were too thick and that I couldn't put them in because I was wanting to gag all the time. He shaved some of the plates down ( all good) that was 2 weeks ago.
I went back to him last week and explained they were still too big and too thick and so asked if they could be made thinner, as i had read somewhere they could, he basically told me that they couldnt do that because it would make them weak, so I have had to resort to a dental technican directly. He has made the top set thinner and has taken some more off the back of the plate, However, though that has made a huge difference, and I can now wear both bottom and top together, I am still struggling to talk without sounding like I have a lisp, and struggle with the letters S H and the F's, Has anyone got any tips of how I can get to talk properly other than reading a book or talking my family's ears off. I never had much self confidence in the first place, and this has really taken it's toll, even though I have all the teeth again I am reluctant to smile in case people can notice the difference.
Any help please and much appreciated x
