tomorrow is the day i have to have my bottom teeth out and dentures in i am petrified not too sure about the dentist he's ok but not very supportive and when he took the 3 teeth out at the back it hurt so i'm not looking forward to having 6 out tomorrow the fronts are so loose i need to have them out in fact they would probably fall out with a strong gust of wind! i wish i could find a way of coping better
 
Maybe it's not a case of "coping better", but maybe (in the long run) finding someone who you can have a better rapport with? It sounds like you've been really strong so far, in spite of a dentist you don't really like, and you've done so well :).

Wishing you all the best for tomorrow [smiley=grouphug.gif]!!
 
made it just!!! took 20mg of diazipan which helped a little dentures are uncomfortable but its early days i know.plastic gum bit feels so thick and bulky
 
Good to hear you made it [smiley=grouphug.gif] - well done [smiley=notworthy.gif]. As you said it's early days yet and there may be some swelling etc., but usually dentures take a few visits to tweak to get the fit just right. If you reckon your follow-up appointment isn't soon enough, don't feel shy to try and bring it forward.
