new dentures.   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #791 of 3382 |
Has anyone heard of Dr. Corona in Tijuana? I've already paid him, my
dentures have been made, upper and lower. But now the problem is my
fear. I wrote to this site before and may have gotten answers but I
didn't know how to find them. Now I know, so here goes again. I have
a strong fear of having all my teeth pulled. He has given me a valium
and a little white pill (subli something) to take just before I come
in. Will this be enough? I am so scared. I also am frightened of the
psychological trauma I may experience. I'm embarressed of the thought
of my husband seeing me with no teeth. Also, is there a blood clot
under each extraction and if so is it difficult to keep them intact?
Also are the gums painful and swollen and how does it feel to put
dentures on top of that? Does anyone out there sleep with their
dentures? is that possible. How do you look when you don't have your
dentures in? With the new teeth, whats it like to look in the
mirror? I'm an attractive female and my ego is bruising. Ladies, can
you relate? Men, how do you look upon your wife when she has her
dentures out? I hope I get alot of answers, I'm really struggling
with this and my dentist and family are getting impatient and don't
understand.

I say almost because some things are just to hard to bite into once I get a small piece usually by cutting something up I can chew anything. But I still have...

Dear Teresa, Everyone goes through the fear and nervousness you are experiencing. This is normal. The valium will help with the anxiety but it is not meant to...
