I had ALL my teeth extracted in 2 visits back in September. Due to having Diabetes and other health issues I had to wait 8-9 weeks before they would start my various appointments to fit me for dentures. So I finally picked them up last Thursday Dec 19th and the top fit perfect but the bottom were way tight so the dentists (shaved?) them down or whatever it is called and I tried 3 times (each time he would do a little more-finally he said; "Mrs. Green- you just need to take these home and work with them, your gums need to adjust to them, put them in every day for a hour or two and let them get accustomed to your mouth" He then rescheduled me to come back Jan 8th to see how I am doing!!!! Yesterday we had our Christmas get together and I tried and tried to put these damn things in--instead I went TOOTHLESS and felt like a total fool-- I am only 47 yo -- I am so tired of how I look and how I feel---- any advice or suggestions I do appreciate-thank you for listening!!--I also have another concern- as I have not been wearing my dentures I am keeping them in water ( I change the water daily) in my denture container-will leaving them in water harm them in any way?/
