So after being told I needed my top teeth taken out two and a half years prior, I finally got up the courage to have them taken out. My dentist told me I'd be, as I refer to it, 'toothless' for 6 weeks. The dental surgeon told me 12 weeks. OUCH, but okay, it's only teeth, I could do that. And I have. So 13 weeks after the surgery I went to have my dentures started only to be told I still have bone fragments, and dentures will be 1) incredibly painful to wear and 2) will need to be refitted in 6-9 months time, which is a cost I won't be able to cover myself, so I have little choice but to wait it out.
My question is, is this normal? It's been 16 weeks (!) since I had them out, do I just keep waiting around and being toothless or do I need to suck it up and go to the dentist again for more poking and prodding and potential pain?
Any advice is appreciated, I'm beside myself at the moment.
