Hi Trevster,

sorry to read about your fall and that you can't eat or sleep now. I can see why you worry, but maybe the best thing to do would be to wait what happens and how the denture looks like? If your worries come true, you can look for solutions. There are surely some not so good stories with NHS dentures but I am sure there are a lot of patients happy with them as well. It always depends on what you google. When is your next appointment?

All the best wishes
