Glena,
This is a very scary time for everyone facing it. I suggest getting
all your supplies in house before the procedure.
Get soft but nutritous foods like yogurt, eggs, cheese, pudding,
ensure, etc. Get some bags of frozen vegetables to use as ice packs-
they are pliable and reusable.
Have some denture care supplies on hand as well, a cup to soak them
in- something like the common denture baths are great and secure. As
far as cleansers and such- get small quantities as you may not like
every one you pick up, the same for adhesives and topical anesthetics
like orajel and benzodent. They will be helpful but be sure to have a
discussion before hand with the dentist about how you can get access
to him if you feel you need to be seen.
Welcome to the group and feel free to post your questions,
Sandy
