Permanent denture issues

[bille04a]

I got my new upper Dentures about 6 weeks ago I've gotten a little used to them but I'm having so much trouble leaving them alone I'm always sucking on the top plate and I'm constantly salivating, that's my biggest problem I can't leave them alone and pretend they're not there I'm trying to keep them in but I actually have a cup in the car and I take them out very often I never wear them in the house unless I have company I feel like I'm never going to get used to them just being there

Hi bille04a,
I'm thinking of you and wondering how you are doing adjusting to your upper dentures? It's been quite a while now. I hope you are doing better.
Best wishes to you

Hi,

Is it a full denture? Very often the dental lab makes the denture too bulky and thick, makes it impossible to wear them without struggling with it. Trimming it to make it thinner can help a lot. I’m the other hand, it should be done by an experienced dentist, not trim the wrong places.

@Dr. Daniel I have a feeling that the "resident" dentist is managing it. She made the lower arch temporary that is permanently in place that only they are able to remove.
