Advice for someone considering getting Dentures
Here is someone’s response in answer to the question:
What advice would you share with someone considering dentures?
DON’T DO IT!!! I would give anything to have my own teeth back. Since I have had dentures (full uppers and lowers) I have lost so much weight. I look approx. 15 years older than I am. My upper dentures will only work with Fixodent paste. They seem to be fine. But my lower dentures have NEVER stayed put. I cannot chew with them on. They hurt me so badly. I have tried everything I think possible and nothing works. Now I am considering the “screw-in” teeth where the denture I believe hooks somehow onto the screws and hopefully helps it stay.
A response to this:
I whole-heartedly agree! It’s the worse decision I have ever made. They hurt and I have lost any confidence I ever had.
and another…
I agree!!!! I got dentures at age 23 and have always regretted the decision…
