Like the title says, I had all of my remaining upper teeth removed (nine) and an immediate denture placed in. On the bottom, I had two teeth removed and I have two front teeth remaining they think they can save and give me a partial instead... but that is for a future appointment, so right now I look ridiculous with only two front teeth. Literally.
Anyway, I know this is only day one and there is A LONG road ahead of me, but I feel like I somehow made a mistake. I mean, deep down I know I didn't, but this process is so painful. They told me to leave my immediate in for 24 hours, which I did-- sort of. It made me gag SO BAD. I mean B-A-D. Around the seventeen hour mark I tried to talk and just couldn't handle it so my gag reflex kicked in and I literally threw up all over myself which was not great. It made me feel even worse about the entire thing and I just started to cry and wonder what I had done.
I went to the bathroom and after great trouble, managed to take out my immediate. That opened a flood gate of pain and soreness I didn't even know was possible. Fast forward a little later, my gums and everything are too swollen to even attempt to put that back in plus I can't handle the gagging... I can't.
Also now as I'm sitting here I just don't know where to rest my jaw? It's so swollen and painful and I have nothing to rest it on without teeth, which I had never thought about before...
anyway, thanks for letting me vent... I just feel really defeated about the whole thing right now
