(Just realized this is probably in the wrong thread. Not sure how to delete it.)
Hi. I'm new to this site and just want to say it's great! I've gotten so much advice already. I had a question about speaking with partial dentures, though. Background: im 23, ive always had very bad teeth but yesterday I had 6 top teeth pulled (3 in the front) and a partial put in. I know it's probably still early but I feel like my speech sounds funny. It doesn't really feel swollen anymore so I don't think it's that. The dentist also said it might not be in 100% because it was swollen when she put it in. But I haven't tried pushing it in more because it's still sore. I'm just wondering if I will sound funny talking for awhile or if it will probably get better when it's fitting perfectly? And if I am just going to sound weird, is there anything I can do about it? It's mostly the "th" and "f" sounds. Any advice?
