Hi everyone,
Massive dental phobic here. I snooped on the forums quietly a lot last year after having to have a tooth out (old root canal, tooth broke). The whole thing was very traumatic but I got through!
I couldn’t afford an implant and didn’t fancy the procedure anyway so have gone with a flexi denture which is tiny but looks great. However, when my dentist was adjusting it to fit, he scratched my gum, the process of then putting the denture in and taking it out again over the top of that scratch has caused sores which are quite painful. I’ve rested it a few days and slowly starting to put it back in for short periods. But, my question is, what is it supposed to feel like? It’s tight and sore, I don’t know how much of it is due to the sores on my gum and how much is just normal getting used to a denture! I also can’t put my teeth together properly on one side, I know my bite is off anyway but, again, don’t know if it is normal. It’s a relief to take it out but I am trying hard to persevere!
Any advice from anyone else with a single flexible denture would be appreciated
