Gum disease runs in my family. I had slowly lost all but 3 of my top teeth so I decided to take a big step and get upper dentures. This was a very big decision because I could still eat most everything with just the three teeth on top (I have my bottom teeth still)
Monday I went to the dentist for the pulling of the teeth and placement of the denture. I am adapting to having it in my mouth, and love that for the first time in 10 yrs I am not ashamed to smile, but….
I’m hungry! Yes I can eat if I put food on both sides so the plate does not shift, but I used to enjoy eating and now it’s work. I know it will get better and it’s only been a few days but I miss sandwiches and meat and other assorted items… even salad
Can anyone tell me how long it will take before I can eat properly again, its sad when eating a toaster waffle become a big accomplishment for the day!
