Teeth

[jennyjoan]

Again another tale of woe. I had an idea this was going to happen. Anyway since the implants are in my gums - the gums have altered and so the denture (valplast) no longer fits. It has left me quite a lot of cuts and ulcers in the mouth - so tomorrow I am getting new impressions done to get another temporary partial to do me until Feb/March plus he wants to do the deep cleaning. After these new teeth go in March - I will be left with 4 sets of dentures. Some quite expensive.

I don't know when it is going to end for me but sure it could be worse.

Oh....& if you cant chew ur cake, send it to me ;)

Nah I'm not wealthy but you have to get it somewhere. Tambo didn't get a cake - didn't celebrate birthday as from the trouble with the teeth can't eat so well so have lost one stone and 3lbs.

I did use salt water a few times and that gave me great ease.

Teeth can be a real nuisance.

Hang on in there - it'll be worth it in the end :)

I did comment on one of your other posts about a toothbrush, but I think I was too late, so you probably didn't see it. If you're still having problems with your toothbrush being too harsh - you need a "mega soft" toothbrush. This is what my dentist gave me - you can hardly feel it when you brush your gums with it.

Happy birthday by the way :)
