I just had 15 pulled and a upper denture in April, someone had to
stay with me the whole time I wasent alsleep, I didnt have anything
the dentist gave me a bag when I left and everything I needed was in
it, except fixodent, and I didnt need it for 2 days because your not
suppose to take them out for 2 days, I never needed orajel
My teeth and lips look fine, I know its easier said than done but
dont worry so much, I jumped right into getting mine out had no time
to think, I wish I would have had time to think but I still would
have done it, its a rough road but its better this way.

Good Luck
