I have teeth!!!!

Kandikane started this conversation

Well I went to the dentist yesterday and got my top denture - needless to say it is very awkward wearing it but it looks fabulous - I have gotten so many compliments already !!!!! I'm in a place where I really need some good things to happen for me right now - A few weeks ago I fould out that my husband was having an affair for 10 months so I kicked him out - There is no chance of reconciliation and I have decided I want a divorce - everything has been really difficult for me and the kids of course but I am trying to make things as normal as possible for them and me - they come first - Having my teeth now makes me feel so much better about myself - I can't tell you all how happy I am that I stepped up and finally did something to make myself feel good again - I was afraid and it has been a slow process but I am working on it ! - We haven't decided what is going to happen with my lower teeth - the insurance co denied the dentist's first request for a partial because of the bone mass loss - so he is trying again - if it doesn't happen I will have to have all of my lower teeth pulled and have full dentures which I don't really want but if it has to happen that way I am willing to go through with it!!! Wish me luck

Unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary, do NOT have all your bottom teeth removed.  I too just got a new top plate and the bottom still has some teeth by which the partial is secured via wrap around wires.  It is VERY VERY hard to manage both an upper and lower plate and my dentist advised me to keep the few bottom teeth I have left.  Although I am having problems adjusting to the top (needs adjustment) the bottom is tight and secure.  I started flossing those few teeth and have noticed them becoming tighter and reversal of gingivitis.  Wait until you taste your first steak...Awesome...
