I am new here, I signed up to discuss my situation with someone and I really need advice. For years, I've had problems with my teeth. I'm 28 now. I've put thousands into my teeth. They were always giving me pain and kept breaking off and falling out. Also the work kept falling out even though I saw many different dentists. I couldn't keep up with all of it after a while, I'd get work done then more teeth got bad, it was horrible and I couldn't afford it. It got to the point I had a hard time eating and wouldn't smile with my mouth open. I've even had dentists accuse me of being a drug user when I am not. I tried so hard to take care of them. My uncle had the same problem and had to get dentures in his 30's. I decided a few weeks ago to get a denture consult. I know I'm very young, but my teeth just keep breaking off. I would have needed almost 20,000 dollars more in dental work. And given with my track record, the work would most likely come out anyway. I got sick constantly and I believe my teeth contributed to a lot of that. I decided to get the dentures. A full top plate, and a partial on the bottom. I have my extractions 4 days ago. I had 21 teeth taken out in one day under anesthesia. I woke up feeling not too bad. My immediate dentures were already in. I was so happy. Not for long. After the anesthesia totally wore off, I couldn't keep the dentures in. I knew it would be a very strange feeling with fake teeth, but not like that. I had to take them out, they made me gag and cough and the saliva was so so bad I kept gagging on that. And it kept running all over my face. I tried to put them in several times, it wouldn't work. My front teeth were extracted and without the dentures, my lip keeps sticking to them and I'm afraid I won't heal or that I'll get dry socket. I'm terrified that I'll never be able to wear them. Also when I did have them in for a few minutes, when I swallowed the saliva, It made the dentures cause a sucking action with my front extractions which terrified me. I told the dentist about this. He said just to leave them out and come back Monday. I have to go back to work Tuesday. I don't want to go back without teeth. I tried adhesive and the goop made me gag even more and they still dropped right out of my mouth. They said they would adjust them if need be, but the said to expect them a little loose. This was no (a little loose), this was they were dropping right out of my mouth. Also my gums were so sore when i tried to put in the bottom partials, it was excruciating. I feel like I'll NEVER be able to wear those things. I have gone without teeth for 4 days. I don't know how I'll go to work like this, or how I can keep eating only liquid. I can't. I'm terrified. Every time I try to put them in, I choke on the saliva. I got them to look better, now I look worse. I tried salt on the back of the tongue, numbing throat spray, everything. Please help me, I don't get my nicer dentures for another 5 months, I can't look and eat like this until then. I look like a monster. HELP!
