Thank you so much from this 73 year old scared lady. 4-14 -2021 for me. After watching you I' m more excited than scared. You are speaking so well!!! God Bless you, honey.
I needed to hear this! I go Friday for my procedure for my top denture and am FREAKING out! Worried I'm not doing the right thing since I'm only 31 but then have horrible teeth and know I will feel more confident as time goes on! I've put my health off the last 9 years always putting my kid first so now its time I do me! I dont want her to grow up with a mom looking all goofy like I do now 😁 thank you though for reminding me about kicking the anxiety out the door! Love watching your videos!
I'm getting full dentures and of course have been watching denture videos for the last 4 hours haha but man, I really feel better watching yours. I really can appreciate the honesty. I'm kinda freaking out but like you said we get ourselves worked up for usually nothing. I know it won't be all easy but my teeth are just tombstones now. It's for the best. Thanks for the video and giving me a little more confidence. Have a good one, bro.
Thank you for sharing, I’m a 38 year old Australian and selling my motorcycle to get my dentures...watching hours of videos and know I’m making the right decision now, my confidence is more important than a bike
1 hour before I go through this procedure and I'm freaking out. Watching your video for the 2nd time now really helps. Thank you so much for taking the time to help others.
Omg thank you so much!! I go in tomorrow morning for 17 extractions and denture and partial placement. I've been trying to save my teeth for 6 years now. Spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars but the damage was done. I have a REALLY strange sense of calm tonight for some reason. Seems like it has been forever getting here, but I'm SO ready psychologically that I'm not a nervous wreck like I HAVE been!! Seeing this has seriously helped me!!! I'm gonna sleep good tonight! Thank you!!❤️😁
You won't regret this procedure! Had all mine out within the last 6 months. It can be uncomfortable in the beginning, but you'll heal really quick! Absolutely love my new teeth!!!! If I had to go thru this again, I would in a heart beat!! I look and feel fantastic, absolutely NO pain! Best feeling EVER!
Just found your videos and boy did I needed to hear this. Full extraction in 2 days 22 teeth with immediates. You're right, I am working myself up about the unknown. I love the way you are so informative and honest without the drama like other videos I have seen. I look forward to watching your videos of your journey. Thank you for your help!!
It’s been a couple years since you first posted this but I wanted you to know that your videos are still a blessing. Now, I’m a senior I’m sure my grandchildren are your age, nevertheless your information about full mouth extraction/dentures have been so very helpful. You have helped with my anxiety level for sure. So, thanks again, hope things are well with you. God bless!!😊
Im glad I found your video. I did not know how painful it is at 1st. 🤯😵 had to put mine in when I got home. Took me all nite 🤣 but I did it. (reason being i was sooo numb after i couldn't feel/ see what i had to do ) . Thanks for doing your video journal learning alot
You look so good! Thanks for being vulnerable and making these videos I've been avoiding going knowing i need to get them too. Videos like this make me feel better and more hopeful
I worked myself up for nothing.....I love this line sooo much! Isn't it so funny how over thousands of years we developed a self preservation in our DNA to help with what we think of as a danger and then we get to giggle when it isn't. Anxiety really is the best friend we never wanted. Always there for us but never needed. I would be frantic right now, but, I know tons of people have this done all the time. The Dr I am using always has a packed parking lot so he must be THAT good because he isn't cheap. with that said I am due for a full extraction with dentures on Thursday and even though my body is saying Yikes trying to expect the worst but I know in reality I'll be in good hands and it sure does help to see others coming forward on TH-cam and letting me know there is a little bit of a hurdle but it isn't a full on mountain. Soooo reassuring! Thanks. plus I really don't get a choice or I can live in pain and infection that will eventually cause the hospital visit I never wanted. I can't wait to smile at people again and eat stuff and feel good. It might well hurt but it will be a good hurt in the name of good health. I choose to embrace this journey with curiosity and love for myself.
It was definitely worth it for me, I'm so happy now that I dont need to go through any more toothaches or infections. It's a process but one that can change your life! It's my pleasure to be of help, thank you! 🖤
Glad your attitude is good! I got my impressions done on Wednesday and got a little good news. Getting partials on top and bottom. So less teeth coming out for now. It'll be 3 weeks till they are ready then I plan my E day! Thanks for the videos it's very helpful!
Thank you so much! I am facing this soon. I would like to ask you if you lose a lot of taste of food. I've heard that happens. You have allayed a lot of a 60 year old lady's fears, and I'm very grateful! I would love to know how you adjusted over time. Subscriber here! I'm a retired nurse, and you explain things very, very well.❤️
Didn't find your video until 6 days after my extraction date but most definitely the BEST informational video about this process out there! I had 26 teeth extracted, a bone graft, and 2 bottom implants done almost a week ago. Nearly having anxiety attack walking into the office for me procedure. What a waste of energy that was lol still pretty sore around my implants but with each day I'm improving more and more. Thanks for putting such a helpful video out there for anybody who is or has been going through this!
Thank you so much for doing these videos. I'm having my lowers removed next week and I've worked myself up with all the "what ifs". Nobody talks about it. You're making me feel so much calmer and I appreciate how open you've been!
Thank you for doing these video's. I go in mid September for mine to be done. My anxiety is really high. You're making this better for me. Now, I'm not so worried. Thank you!!
Me too..12 days left for me ...full upper immediate dentures and partial bottom..got all bottom out that were coming out...now just waiting til 20th :)
Thank you so much for your wonderful video. You covered all the bases and offered great advice. You were thorough and well spoken and even offered the viewers encouragement and wisdom. Great job. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, it is very helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to make this Video.I recently had had my teeth removed and now wearing dentures. I'm a singer in a classic rock band obviously concerned if I was going to be able to continue doing that but heard that singing is one of the best things to do when you're trying to get used to speaking with dentures. You gave me a sense of optimism now and I really appreciate that. If anything just knowing that I'm not the only one trying to get used to this change. I'll be on the lookout for more of your videos. Thanks again in the best of success to you on your journey.😎✌
I just started the process and was looking for some good advice. Thanks so much for the very informative video. You are the first person that I have watched on TH-cam to say to go get the procedure done that it’s uncomfortable but at the end everything will be ok after all.
Thank you for sharing your story. I just got my top teeth done. I'm still swollen about 8 hours after, and there was a lot of blood. Finding these stories is really helpful for me.
Thank you, I am having this done in 4 days. I have been having a lot of anxiety about this. Listening to your calm voice has taken some of my anxiety away! Thank you for being so thorough with your tips! You look great!
I am in the planning stages of getting dentures, and this video has been extremely helpful! Thank you for all of the great suggestions of things to have on hand for the first few days. I'm really afraid to do it, but information makes me feel more comfortable about the choice I'm about to make. I already suffer from a terrible chronic pain condition, so maybe more pain won't be much worse than any other day after a week or two. Fingers crossed!
At 26 I got a full set of dentures. After my first son my teeth would break at the gums and I would get abceses non stop.. I had so many teeth removed over time and missing a bunch.. had to still get 22 teeth removed and that wasn't as bad as you would think, but not fun. I'll be 34 in 3 months, luckily haven't had issues, no re alignment and I don't use adhesives of any kind. I sleep in my tops but not bottoms. Hope everyone has a great experience. I'm so glad I have them
Very helpful 😊Thank you for taking the time to share and for caring for the fellow man/women!! I am in my late 40’s and this whole process is one wild ride!!! Be well
Currently waiting for hubby who is in surgery getting 14 teeth extracted and will have immediates before snap ins are ready in 4 months. Thanks for sharing your journey, it will help me support him as he gets used to this huge change!
I know I’m years late on this video but thank you, this video helped me calm my mind. I’m beyond scared I won’t have any teeth when they pull mine or have to wear a flipper denture covering the roof of my mouth. I’m freaking out soo bad but when I look at your teeth, I get excited seeing your Colgate smile. Makes me feel good knowing I’m not alone being young with dentures
Thank you so much! In 5 days getting all 7 remaining top teeth pulled. Immediate dentures will be put in. I’m terrified, but not so much after watching your video. Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing journey- I have started this process myself- not having so many teeth out at once- but it's going to be all of them- which I am not looking forward to- but I am looking forward to not having a mouth full of decaying teeth. Thanks for your tips on products that helped you too- I will be purchasing all you recommended.
Just had teeth pulled 3 days ago with immediate dentures. First day sucked, but so used to mouth pain that it isn't bad. Really cool of you to make this video.
I just got my upper teeth pulled Monday so day 4 for me and I don't have pain just swelling but I think I made my best Decision ever . Thank you for your video
Thank you so very much for putting yourself out there. I had my tops and partial bottom; today is day two from surgery day and I have 2 black and swollen eyes. Any suggestions on bringing swelling down so it’s not so obvious? I feel horrible about being 36yrs old and having to get false teeth but seeing I’m not the only younger person with dentures has helped a lot! Thanks again for posting these vids! 🥰
Thank you so much for your videos. You are 100% right about the fear and anxiety of the unknown. I was so scared! I just had my extractions on the 6th of Jan... today is my day 3. And I was in WAY more pain with my teeth than I have been over the last 3 days. This has been very uncomfortable... but I can deal. My tops keep slipping off when I talk (so embarrassing) so I am very happy I will have my post op appointment on Thursday and hopefully will get them adjusted then. Your videos are very helpful! Much appreciated!
Thank you very much for posting your 1-3 day post op journey, my E day is 7/29 so you definitely educated me on how my mouth should feel by day 3, and to purchase a few things before, and to stop getting myself worried 😟. God bless you for putting yourself out there for alot of us✌.
i just got 26 teeth extracted may 6th (a week ago) and have been wearing my dentures for 2 days now. I STRESSED and WORRIED so much I was making my self so sick. All for nothing. Everythings been a bowl of cherries so far. Wish I would have caught your video a week ago🌞
had my teeth out today ,got my dentures same time but got told not to put them in until tomorrow as i had gums stitched . was getting more and more anxious about putting them in but watching your video im not as bad , some great information .a big thank you
Well, How are you now? I'm on day 3 and have stitches. They told me don't take my dentures out for 24 hours, and leave them out that night. I woke up yesterday and couldn't bare to put them back in, so I left them out. This morning I put them in, still hurt but I dealt with it. 2 hours later and they're OK no but still 3 spots on top, both eye teeth and top right back
I'm on day 5. Frustrated but also aware it's gonna take. I've watched 5 videos before I came across your and can say yours was actually Very helpful. Thank you!!
Thanks for posting this. I'm going today for my 8 upper extractions. Trying not to blow it up in my mind, cause you're right. We always have a tendency to make it more than it is. You gave some really good tips. Be well.
Thank you!! I'm going to be getting the grand finale done in a couple of weeks.. I'm just waiting for the call with the finished product!! I'm so excited.. it's been a long journey and have 5 1/2 front teeth left.. yaay!! Thank you so much for sharing tips on how to keep everything clean and what to expect! Congratulations 🥰🤗
Appreciate this alot bro, I got mine done like 9 hours ago, still a long ways to go,but for some reason they didn't put my immediate dentures in, they said they'll put them in when I go back in on Monday 🤷♂️ but as far as pain, it sucks!! I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth and it hurts like hell but they didn't give me anything at all for pain so I've taken a couple over the counter ibuprofen but it's still hurting like hell and I don't go back until Monday 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Great help! I am day 3 of extractions. Pain is putting denture in this morning. I already have sores from denture rubbing and its too long and thick in back which makes me gag. I was told to return in 2 weeks for adjustments but i cant wait that long! I agree that its more about comfort than pain. Thanks for tip on orajel mouth rinse.
Thank you for sharing. I'm getting mine done in a mnt and I'm watching people that have been through it. It's very helpful to get normal people's experience.
You're the man for this video. Thanks so much. It's been 50 hours since I had my teeth extracted, bone grafts for future snap on implants, and immediate temporary dentures. Ibuprofen is definitely fantastic for the pain. The antibiotic is good for swelling. In my experience. I've been taking my bottoms out a lot for now until I go back and get a soft lining. They are way too lose and feel like a brick over the stitches and bone grafts - which I think is why they're unbearable. I haven't taken my tops out yet. I was thinking it can contain the swelling and they're in there so tight that I know it's gonna suck when I pull them out. Do you think it's a bad idea to leave them in until things loosen up? I'm kind of just trying to suffer through these next 3 months because I have so much anxiety with dentists even though it always goes well. But, I have to have 8 titanium rods put into my upper and lower bone and then go through another 3 months of healing before I can finally get the snap on implants in. I have a long way to go. Can't wait until this swelling eases up a bit. Your tips have been super helpful. I found your channel yesterday. Again thank you so much for these videos. And it's true. I was terrified. I took a few anxiety meds before going without telling them because I wouldn't have been able to make it in the door and even then my blood pressure was so high they asked me if I had high blood pressure. Once they give you that horse tranquilizer and whatever else is in that cocktail, it's over so fast.
Wow. So glad I found this. My “E-day” is this coming Thursday, Oct 1, 2020. Having 11 removed ( had 2 that were really bad removed 2 months ago). 9 on top, 2 on bottom. I’ll have a full denture on top and partials on bottom. The surgeon will put them in once he’s finished and I’ll be knocked out as I was 2 months ago for just 2. I am a little nervous but confident I’ll get through this. But your video is a God-send as it gives me hope they it won’t be as bad as I’m thinking. Mind is good at conjuring things up. Hope this note finds you well.
I am now on Day 4, having got this done on Oct 1st. It could not have gone any better. Your videos proved to be absolutely correct and SOOOO helpful towards my preparation. So, I have a full upper denture and a partial. Yes, there was some bleeding, but nothing abnormal. My dentures were placed immediately and have been comfortable from the beginning. I am using natural suction to date and will schedule a reline, once needed. None of what I conjured up in my mind prior to surgery actually happened. For anyone watching this man’s videos - keep watching HIM. Take notes, as I did, and you’ll be OVER-prepared for whatever occurs. I continue my journey but I wanted to chime in and tell you thank you for getting me this far!!
How is your healing going? My "E"day was this past Wednesday the 14th I had full extractions, alveoloplasty as well dual frenectomy. Unfortunately my surgery took almost 8 and a half hours vs. the standard 2 due to some complications due to me being a high risk patient. Right now pain wise, the worst part is the sore spots where they are rubbing as the swelling goes down. Are you able to chew yet?
@@dalesluvbug1 Hi. Wow, 8 hours plus an alveoloplasty and dual frenectomy? My surgery wasn’t anything near that extensive. I’m doing more than fine. I should be asking how YOU are doing. I’m assuming you have a ways to go. It’s day 20 for me as I write this and I’m eating mostly soft food, but have successfully, but slowly, eaten things like hamburgers and fries. I tell my wife I now have Bionic Teeth, so I eat in slow motion! I am using Secure adhesive only my palate combined with Polident powder and that really keeps them held in place. But I’ve been lucky that mine fit very well even without adhesive so I don’t apply much and for now am keeping the adhesive away from open sockets, per my Dentist’s orders. Additionally I wear mine nearly 24/7... taking them out for a few hours here/there for cleaning and rinsing. Therefore I feel naked without them. Unlike others I’ve read about, I have not attempted to eat anything write them in-besides Cotton Candy (best ever!). Hope you are doing well.
Great video bro. I can’t wait to get my teeth done. I’m only 28. Iv got a heap of broken and missing teeth. Can’t ever eat comfortably and I don’t like smiling atm lol. I’m going to go and have a full upper denture. And yeah I’m gonna go with immediate denture when they extract :) can’t wait
11 teeth pulled. Stitched up in the front. Prescribed no pain meds. Okkkk. Took dentures out after 24 hours. Felt so good I decided to leave em out. Playing hell to get em back in. Without being in terrible pain. Got a nice little ulcer on the gums preventing me from getting em in. So so far this experience has been pretty shitty. Let’s hope it gets better.
I just got dentures for top teeth yesterday morning .There were 6 teeth pulled out. Yesterday my gums were in mild pain. I didn't bother with prescription for pain. Today there is no pain. My face looks a bit swollen. I talk funny and wonder if ill talk normal again. My top gums feel mildly sore. This is something ill definitely have to get used to. I wasn't sure what to expect and im glad i dont need anything for pain.
Thank you so much for making this video! My fiance is going to be getting a full set, and I wanted to find as much info as I can early on to help as much as possible! Thank you so much! I myself have a lisp and have to say that you're doing great on your S's.
Thanks for making this video. I only wish I would have seen it beforehand. It's been two months for me and I REALLY thought I had made a huge mistake, thinking the discomfort in feeling was abnormal. Thanks for your insight and advice
just had the extract/immediate...anybody worried, by far the worst part is the numbing shots but seeing as how that is the first step, you get it out of the way fast. the extractions go really fast. i slept fine first night but woke up with a bloody pillow lol. wrap your pillows with a towel. other than that im only on day 2 so i dont have anything else to add lol
Thanks for the helpful info, I go in three days for full mouth extractions and immediate temp dentures . A little nervous but my dentist and oral surgeon are great. Thanks again
Thanks so much, going next month and appreciate the products you mentioned. Going to start looking now for them so I’m ready. I already have plenty of soft foods on hand so I’m not worried about that. Again thank you! ❤
I’m a recovering addict. I’ve been clean since 10/12/18. Haven’t touch anything since! I’m on methadone, but the pain has me seriously seriously scared of this. But I want nice teeth and white... so hopefully it’s worth it. I’m not worried about relapse, I’m afraid other will think I would.
I, too, am a recovering addict. I decided that when I hit my 5 years clean, I would get my teeth done. I had all of them extracted yesterday and have my dentures now. At the moment, I am still very swollen so my upper denture has come out and I cannot get it back in. I will see my dentist in 3 days to get it refitted. However, I do recommend going through with it. I have not relapsed and even though the pain was intense, I've never even considered it. I'm sure you'll be fine. You're worth it.
Thank you so much from this 73 year old scared lady. 4-14 -2021 for me. After watching you I' m more excited than scared. You are speaking so well!!! God Bless you, honey.
My date is 4/15
I go in next week I'm 60. what was your experience like?

Tomorrow morning at 9am. 17 extractions and denture/partial placement. I feel eerily calm tonight, because I'm always a hot mess. But not tonight!!😁
I like the fact that you share that despite the initial pain it will get better
I'm 55 and about to get this done. You are a good inspiration for those of us about to get this done.

Where in the world do they pull out Allll of your teeth at the same time?? Are yall talkin about a particular office?
Omg thank you so much!! I go in tomorrow morning for 17 extractions and denture and partial placement. I've been trying to save my teeth for 6 years now.

I've got 28 teeth to be extracted too. Not looking forward to this at all.Thank you again for what you're doing.
Ask for nitrous gas and make sure they numb you well. I just got my last 5 pulled
Why?
You won't regret this procedure! Had all mine out within the last 6 months. It can be uncomfortable in the beginning, but you'll heal really quick! Absolutely love my new teeth!!!!

I'll be 34 in 3 months, luckily haven't had issues, no re alignment and I don't use adhesives of any kind. I sleep in my tops but not bottoms. Hope everyone has a great experience. I'm so glad I have them
Very helpful 😊Thank you for taking the time to share and for caring for the fellow man/women!! I am in my late 40’s and this whole process is one wild ride!!! Be well
Thank you. This is the most helpful preparation video I've seen so far. I really appreciate you making this video
Currently waiting for hubby who is in surgery getting 14 teeth extracted and will have immediates before snap ins are ready in 4 months. Thanks for sharing your journey, it will help me support him as he gets used to this huge change!
I know I’m years late on this video but thank you, this video helped me calm my mind. I’m beyond scared I won’t have any teeth when they pull mine or have to wear a flipper denture covering the roof of my mouth. I’m freaking out soo bad but when I look at your teeth, I get excited seeing your Colgate smile. Makes me feel good knowing I’m not alone being young with dentures
Bro, I'm getting full extractions and immediate dentures in 5 days. I'm terrified... but your video really helped ease my mind. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much! In 5 days getting all 7 remaining top teeth pulled. Immediate dentures will be put in. I’m terrified, but not so much after watching your video. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing I’m so nervous. I start my denture journey in a couple weeks
What a really kind man. Thank you for taking the time to share with us... :) God bless you...
Had my surgery yesterday and got my temporary dentures today and so far not as bad as I thought.
Thanks for sharing journey- I have started this process myself- not having so many teeth out at once- but it's going to be all of them- which I am not looking forward to- but I am looking forward to not having a mouth full of decaying teeth. Thanks for your tips on products that helped you too- I will be purchasing all you recommended.
Thank you so much for these videos. Very much needed.
Just had teeth pulled 3 days ago with immediate dentures. First day sucked, but so used to mouth pain that it isn't bad. Really cool of you to make this video.
How much was this procedure? I need the same thing done
I just got my upper teeth pulled Monday so day 4 for me and I don't have pain just swelling but I think I made my best Decision ever . Thank you for your video
Thank you so very much for putting yourself out there. I had my tops and partial bottom; today is day two from surgery day and I have 2 black and swollen eyes. Any suggestions on bringing swelling down so it’s not so obvious? I feel horrible about being 36yrs old and having to get false teeth but seeing I’m not the only younger person with dentures has helped a lot!
Thanks again for posting these vids! 🥰
Thank you so much for your videos. You are 100% right about the fear and anxiety of the unknown. I was so scared! I just had my extractions on the 6th of Jan... today is my day 3. And I was in WAY more pain with my teeth than I have been over the last 3 days. This has been very uncomfortable... but I can deal. My tops keep slipping off when I talk (so embarrassing) so I am very happy I will have my post op appointment on Thursday and hopefully will get them adjusted then. Your videos are very helpful! Much appreciated!
I only have 12 going out but I’m super nervous. Watching this helped. Thank you. I go in for my consult and everything next week
Thank you so much for these videos. My pull day is this Thursday and I'm so nervous!!! This video has helped me get prepared. Thanks again!!!
Thank you very much for posting your 1-3 day post op journey, my E day is 7/29 so you definitely educated me on how my mouth should feel by day 3, and to purchase a few things before, and to stop getting myself worried 😟. God bless you for putting yourself out there for alot of us✌.
i just got 26 teeth extracted may 6th (a week ago) and have been wearing my dentures for 2 days now. I STRESSED and WORRIED so much I was making my self so sick. All for nothing. Everythings been a bowl of cherries so far. Wish I would have caught your video a week ago🌞
I’m currently starting the same procedure and this has been really informative! I also have the same semicolon tattoo
had my teeth out today ,got my dentures same time but got told not to put them in until tomorrow as i had gums stitched . was getting more and more anxious about putting them in but watching your video im not as bad , some great information .a big thank you
Well, How are you now? I'm on day 3 and have stitches. They told me don't take my dentures out for 24 hours, and leave them out that night. I woke up yesterday and couldn't bare to put them back in, so I left them out. This morning I put them in, still hurt but I dealt with it. 2 hours later and they're OK no but still 3 spots on top, both eye teeth and top right back
I'm on day 5. Frustrated but also aware it's gonna take. I've watched 5 videos before I came across your and can say yours was actually Very helpful. Thank you!!
Forgot to say good luck with your journey and thanks for the heads up!
I'm on day 4 ... Praying it gets better
Thanks Man! That helps a lot. I'm getting my last upper 9 pulled tomorrow. I'm a huge fan of Walfart and their equate brand. Have a great week!❤
Thanks for posting this. I'm going today for my 8 upper extractions. Trying not to blow it up in my mind, cause you're right. We always have a tendency to make it more than it is. You gave some really good tips. Be well.
Bless your heart! Thank you so so much for sharing this.This video has helped my anxiety.
Excellent video! I'm not there yet but will have to take the plunge soon. Thank you!
I would've never known you had dentures, they look great!
Thank you!! I'm going to be getting the grand finale done in a couple of weeks.. I'm just waiting for the call with the finished product!! I'm so excited.. it's been a long journey and have 5 1/2 front teeth left.. yaay!! Thank you so much for sharing tips on how to keep everything clean and what to expect! Congratulations 🥰🤗
Thank you🙏 Tomorrow is my E day. With very helpful video, I think I’m ready🙂 I really am praying everything is just going to be ok🙏
Appreciate this alot bro, I got mine done like 9 hours ago, still a long ways to go,but for some reason they didn't put my immediate dentures in, they said they'll put them in when I go back in on Monday 🤷♂️ but as far as pain, it sucks!! I had 4 impacted wisdom teeth and it hurts like hell but they didn't give me anything at all for pain so I've taken a couple over the counter ibuprofen but it's still hurting like hell and I don't go back until Monday 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thank you so much for your comments. Just made the decision that this is going to happen. I am tired of not being able to chew my food.
Great help! I am day 3 of extractions. Pain is putting denture in this morning. I already have sores from denture rubbing and its too long and thick in back which makes me gag. I was told to return in 2 weeks for adjustments but i cant wait that long! I agree that its more about comfort than pain. Thanks for tip on orajel mouth rinse.
Thanks for the videos. I'm on day 3 after the procedure. I appreciate your advice.
I had mine done yesterday
just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make this video.
it is definitely helpful
thanks again
Thank you for sharing. I'm getting mine done in a mnt and I'm watching people that have been through it. It's very helpful to get normal people's experience.
Thank you for making my anxiety go down. I'm on day 6 and still nervous but I keep hearing and seeing I'll get though it ❤
You're the man for this video. Thanks so much. It's been 50 hours since I had my teeth extracted, bone grafts for future snap on implants, and immediate temporary dentures. Ibuprofen is definitely fantastic for the pain. The antibiotic is good for swelling. In my experience. I've been taking my bottoms out a lot for now until I go back and get a soft lining. They are way too lose and feel like a brick over the stitches and bone grafts - which I think is why they're unbearable. I haven't taken my tops out yet. I was thinking it can contain the swelling and they're in there so tight that I know it's gonna suck when I pull them out. Do you think it's a bad idea to leave them in until things loosen up? I'm kind of just trying to suffer through these next 3 months because I have so much anxiety with dentists even though it always goes well. But, I have to have 8 titanium rods put into my upper and lower bone and then go through another 3 months of healing before I can finally get the snap on implants in. I have a long way to go. Can't wait until this swelling eases up a bit. Your tips have been super helpful. I found your channel yesterday. Again thank you so much for these videos. And it's true. I was terrified. I took a few anxiety meds before going without telling them because I wouldn't have been able to make it in the door and even then my blood pressure was so high they asked me if I had high blood pressure. Once they give you that horse tranquilizer and whatever else is in that cocktail, it's over so fast.
Thanks man, gonna have it done soon. Appreciate all the information.
Wow. So glad I found this. My “E-day” is this coming Thursday, Oct 1, 2020. Having 11 removed ( had 2 that were really bad removed 2 months ago). 9 on top, 2 on bottom. I’ll have a full denture on top and partials on bottom. The surgeon will put them in once he’s finished and I’ll be knocked out as I was 2 months ago for just 2. I am a little nervous but confident I’ll get through this. But your video is a God-send as it gives me hope they it won’t be as bad as I’m thinking. Mind is good at conjuring things up. Hope this note finds you well.
I am now on Day 4, having got this done on Oct 1st. It could not have gone any better. Your videos proved to be absolutely correct and SOOOO helpful towards my preparation. So, I have a full upper denture and a partial. Yes, there was some bleeding, but nothing abnormal. My dentures were placed immediately and have been comfortable from the beginning. I am using natural suction to date and will schedule a reline, once needed. None of what I conjured up in my mind prior to surgery actually happened. For anyone watching this man’s videos - keep watching HIM. Take notes, as I did, and you’ll be OVER-prepared for whatever occurs. I continue my journey but I wanted to chime in and tell you thank you for getting me this far!!
How is your healing going? My "E"day was this past Wednesday the 14th I had full extractions, alveoloplasty as well dual frenectomy. Unfortunately my surgery took almost 8 and a half hours vs. the standard 2 due to some complications due to me being a high risk patient. Right now pain wise, the worst part is the sore spots where they are rubbing as the swelling goes down. Are you able to chew yet?
I should also mention I had 28 removed
@@dalesluvbug1 Hi. Wow, 8 hours plus an alveoloplasty and dual frenectomy? My surgery wasn’t anything near that extensive. I’m doing more than fine. I should be asking how YOU are doing. I’m assuming you have a ways to go. It’s day 20 for me as I write this and I’m eating mostly soft food, but have successfully, but slowly, eaten things like hamburgers and fries. I tell my wife I now have Bionic Teeth, so I eat in slow motion! I am using Secure adhesive only my palate combined with Polident powder and that really keeps them held in place. But I’ve been lucky that mine fit very well even without adhesive so I don’t apply much and for now am keeping the adhesive away from open sockets, per my Dentist’s orders. Additionally I wear mine nearly 24/7... taking them out for a few hours here/there for cleaning and rinsing. Therefore I feel naked without them. Unlike others I’ve read about, I have not attempted to eat anything write them in-besides Cotton Candy (best ever!). Hope you are doing well.
Hope you are feeling better
Thanks for helping to ease the anxiety. I am on the cancelation list to get immediate dentures!
Thank you so much! You've helped me more than alot of other people🙏
Great video bro. I can’t wait to get my teeth done. I’m only 28. Iv got a heap of broken and missing teeth. Can’t ever eat comfortably and I don’t like smiling atm lol. I’m going to go and have a full upper denture. And yeah I’m gonna go with immediate denture
when they extract :) can’t wait
11 teeth pulled. Stitched up in the front. Prescribed no pain meds. Okkkk. Took dentures out after 24 hours. Felt so good I decided to leave em out. Playing hell to get em back in. Without being in terrible pain. Got a nice little ulcer on the gums preventing me from getting em in. So so far this experience has been pretty shitty. Let’s hope it gets better.
I just got dentures for top teeth yesterday morning .There were 6 teeth pulled out. Yesterday my gums were in mild pain. I didn't bother with prescription for pain. Today there is no pain. My face looks a bit swollen. I talk funny and wonder if ill talk normal again. My top gums feel mildly sore. This is something ill definitely have to get used to. I wasn't sure what to expect and im glad i dont need anything for pain.
Well done young man. You look amazing!😊
Thank you for this positive post!!!
Getting my immediate dentures soon..a lil nervous, but ,this video helping me..more motivated...thanks for all the info...😁
Thank you so much for making this video! My fiance is going to be getting a full set, and I wanted to find as much info as I can early on to help as much as possible! Thank you so much! I myself have a lisp and have to say that you're doing great on your S's.
Thanks for making this video. I only wish I would have seen it beforehand. It's been two months for me and I REALLY thought I had made a huge mistake, thinking the discomfort in feeling was abnormal. Thanks for your insight and advice
Thanks for the video man. I go in three days to get my 14 extractions and immediate dentures and I can't wait. Cheers
Very good vid... Thank you... I'm on day 5. Lots of other videos focus on how painful it is, but your vid is more helpful... Again, thanks...
Damn bro you got all sorts of goodies. My dentist told me to get some ibuprofen over the counter. Didn't give me anything.
just had the extract/immediate...anybody worried, by far the worst part is the numbing shots but seeing as how that is the first step, you get it out of the way fast. the extractions go really fast. i slept fine first night but woke up with a bloody pillow lol. wrap your pillows with a towel. other than that im only on day 2 so i dont have anything else to add lol
Great job. Very helpful. I go in to have the same done next month.
Thanks for the helpful info, I go in three days for full mouth extractions and immediate temp dentures . A little nervous but my dentist and oral surgeon are great. Thanks again
Thanks so much, going next month and appreciate the products you mentioned. Going to start looking now for them so I’m ready. I already have plenty of soft foods on hand so I’m not worried about that. Again thank you! ❤
I’m a recovering addict. I’ve been clean since 10/12/18. Haven’t touch anything since! I’m on methadone, but the pain has me seriously seriously scared of this. But I want nice teeth and white... so hopefully it’s worth it. I’m not worried about relapse, I’m afraid other will think I would.
I, too, am a recovering addict. I decided that when I hit my 5 years clean, I would get my teeth done. I had all of them extracted yesterday and have my dentures now. At the moment, I am still very swollen so my upper denture has come out and I cannot get it back in. I will see my dentist in 3 days to get it refitted. However, I do recommend going through with it. I have not relapsed and even though the pain was intense, I've never even considered it. I'm sure you'll be fine. You're worth it.
Thanks for this video. I feel much less alone thanks to a couple amazing *friends* here on YT. God bless you 🙏
Very thorough explanation...thank you 😊
Thanks for the video. Day 4 and I'm getting sore. It's sunny so I'm going to the pharmacy to get some of the stuff you suggested. Thanks again
Thank you for this vid. Great advice to read aloud.
Thanks for this video! Super helpful ❤

God bless you for posting this video and helping so many people😘
