Hi- I have recently had my teeth removed. (2 weeks ago) and am concerned that I
am either being ripped off or not being given correct information- PLEASE HELP!

   I was charged for "Bone Smoothing" which, I was told, is " To remove sharp
spots or any larger bone protrusions which would cause poor fitting or sores "
when I get my dentures made.

   I was ALSO told, when I asked why there seemed to be MULTIPLE areas with these
SAME sharp and protruding areas left AFTER the surgery was completed,  that  "
The MORE irregluar surfaces- The BETTER- As this would give the Dentures
SOMETHING TO HOLD ONTO! "

   I am more than a little confused and concerned!

   I would really appreciate any feedback and true experiences you can provide to
help me decide if I'm being taken care of properly or not!

   THANK YOU!!

Does anyone know of new advances or prospective advances that may be
made in dentistry in the near term future, 5 years os so?

It seems many of our methods are archaic (having been used for
decades), and that implants have a high rate of failure in older folks
due to infection or insufficient bone mass.

Hello, hows it going. I have had prblems with my upper teeth for so long,
spent years and years getting cleanings after cleanings, one side the other
side, i even was on periostat for a little while( a prescription drug that
fights gum disease) and ended up with an upper partial that had three teeth on
it, eight of the teeth were my own. I noticed my real teeth begining to gap and
to me my mouth looked a bit scary. I was embarrased to smile and it seemed to be
putting me in a depression.Eventually my front teeth were getting loose, so i
had to decied how long and when. I threw the towel in and made my appointment to
have the work done. I had my upper teeth removed on april 26th, along with the
stiches and an upper denture put in. Just last friday i had the stiches taken
out. I brush, rinse and floss twice a day ( as i always have) and feel so much
better, so much! I am not afraid to smile anymore, i dont think about others
looking at my mouth, as before, and have no
  regrets. As far as eating goes, I spent two weeks on soft food, and just
recently i'm branching out on chewing. Alot of times i need to cut my food in
pieces, but i can deal with that. Each day gets better. Before i had the work
done i was afraid i would sound funny when i spoke, but actually i sound better
with a full set of teeth. Its going to get better for you, it may hurt for a bit
here and there, thats the healing part.   patrick

the swelling has FINALLY gone down mostly, and I'm back at work today,
but my biggest problem is the canker sores... I counted 18 of them
this morning... never had a sore in my mouth before (other than my teeth).

I haven't really eaten anything since Monday before the dentist... had
1/2 a cup of yogurt, and half a bowl of mashed potatoes over the week,
but decided that was hurting too bad so wasn't going to try that
again... can't drink broth because of the sores... so I've been
driking a slim fast or 2 every day... I've lost 11 pounds since Monday
- and I don't have 11 pounds to lose!!

Any suggestions on the sores?  So far, I've done the following...
rinsing with warm salt water (for the sores and the stitches),
Rincinol, Campho, Orajel, etc etc etc... anyone else have some
suggestions??

Thanks,

Thank you Sandy,

Your advise has been most usefull a twiking of the 'attitude'.
Shall go forward now and analize all possible options again. Cost
yes, is a facter either way it is huge. Specialist made dentures is
almost equal to additional surgury....if dentures ends up being the
conclussion then an artist needs to be found to manufacture the new
chewing devises.

i thank you for your time and imput and i shall give you the findings
from down under once the solution has been found. This may take some
time.

Debra,

   When I mentioned options I was primarily thinking about the
aesthetics of the dentures. Other options might include removal of
the most troublesome teeth and replacing them with fixed bridgework
and crowns. Implants are a whole other ball game.
   I am located in the US and the general consensus is that all teeth
can be saved! The caveat seems to be if you can afford to do it. The
dentists do not take into consideration that not everyone can afford
either the financial outlay for dental procedures that may only net
them another year or two with their natural teeth or the time
committment to have the procedures done. It is almost like being
held hostage and if you do not follow their advice they will punish
you by making you keep your failing teeth.
   It sounds like your country is similar. I would persue dentures if
you think they are your only source of relief. Remember that you may
be trading one set of problems for another. Dentures are a lifetime
committment.
   As you persue your best options, ask for a written schedule of
treatments and a cost breakdown. Do not be intimidated. These are
your teeth and your money so you must take a stand and be your own
advocate.

   I wish I had other magic things to say but it is very hard to go
up against the machine as it were.
   Please keep in touch and let us know how things are moving along.

Sandy

Thank you Sandy for your considered response. 'not handicapt' was a
huge help. i am located in New Zealand and it would seem that few of
us lose our teeth now days. i am 50 years old and yet both my parents
still have their own teeth and there are none in my group. The social
attitude of the previous generation is 'get them out, get over it'.
Went to my dentist to have this done and he refused....so back to the
periodontist. Once upon a time the health professionals made these
decisions for us.

Yes, it is a huge decision and the size of my pockets are 5-8mm so it
is an advanced stage. The front gap is now part of my character.
It would seem that implants are not really an option due to the
advanced deterioration. What are the 'many options' you refered to.
Thank you again, Sandy.

Debra,

    The decision of having your teeth removed is a very hard one to
make. It should be done with extreme caution as you cannot go back
once your teeth are gone. Many people have great teeth but lousy
gums and from what I know, most of the time the disease goes away
because the gums can heal completely and no longer have openings
where the disease can get in.
    What you need to find out is if your bone is already compromised
and if so, what can be done to preserve it once your teeth are
extracted.
    Many many people lead happy, healthy and productive lives once
they get dentures. Dentures do not automatically mean you are
handicapped. They take time to adapt to but like anything worth
doing, they are worth doing well. Not all dentists are good at
providing dentures so take your time in making the decision, ask
questions of the dentist, talk to people you know who may have
dentures or try to find a denture wearer that you can talk to live
and in person and get their take on it. Ask about their satisfaction
with their dentures and who made them.
   It is not the end of the world and with appropriate time and
effort givcn to learning to wear them, there is no reason you cannot
go back to leading just as active a life as you did pre dentures.
   As far as the appearance of the dentures, this too is always
something up for debate. You need to find a dentist who is committed
to treating the whole patient and not just the condition of not
having teeth. Depending on your age and the current appearance of
your natural teeth, there are many options available.
    Feel free to ask question here or on some of the other internet
sites dedicated to dentures.

Yeah, I tried benzodent - it helped a little bit, but not a whole lot
because it's such a think paste, I couldn't really 'rub' it on the
spots!  (trust me, I tried - and it HURT!!) lol

That's what I was wondering at first, but since it hasn't be the
pre-requisite 2 weeks, I didn't think they could do adjustments... I
noticed last night that the reason I can't bite down is because the
'gum' part of the denture actually extends below where my gum and lip
meet - on top AND bottom... and the sores around the bottom are near
where the denture sits, so I'm sure that's what it is...

On the bright side, almost all of the swelling is gone, and the
sutures are healing quite nicely - most of the stitches are already gone!

I ate a whole bowl of mashed potatoes last night... wow, what a
difference it made!

Thanks for the info...
Ray

Hello all and thank you for being there.
i have spent a fortune over the past 2 years fighting gum disease and
have become a little obcessed about the thought of having infection in
my system all of the time. It can not be good for my over all health.
Have just read that my feelings about this are based on scientific
studies on going but not concluded...eg increased risk of heart disease.

...so have recently let my treatment slip a little while i prepare
myself to have all my teeth out. The top and bottom. Will the disease
be gone then?

....Or shall i keep the fight going to keep my own teeth? this is the
cycle i am doing and i am sure i am not the first to go through this,
but i feel quite alone. It would seem the world is geared to keeping
ones teeth no matter what. i am tired of the battle, the expense and
still having the bugs!

i worry about the appearence of dentures and how to avoid the over
dentured look...where to start?

AND THEN!....my periodontist tells me it is not a matter of just having
them out, it will mean another involved process of messuring all those
pockets again because poor fitting dentures will deteriorate the bone
even more. Will it ever end!?

BUT WAIT there is more as you all seem to be aware. The bottom dentures
seem to be the difficult ones. i would have thought gravity would sort
that. But no. My periodontist then explains that if there is not enough
bone left then a titanium implant is needed to hold the falsies in.

If i give up and get dentures, will i be able to sing and the dentures
not fall together, oops?

and if you are still kind enough to still be there. If i give up smoking
will this greatly improve my battle with the disease?

If some of you would repsond i will be oh so greatful for your support.

debra

I went to an  oral surgeon and got 2 implants(not the minis)on my
lower jaw for about$3800.I don't know the pricing elsewhere but I was
more comfortable going to someone who does implants all the time.

> ...can any of you Ladies answer my Q's about costs and implants?
>

i think you need to go back for adjustments.  you may think it's a  canker
sore but it's probably for the denture rubbing a sore spot.  at  least it was
for me.  i was back at least 10 times for adjustments because  when they do a
little grinding, you can't tell if it's better for a few hours  and then that
adjustment may cause another sore spot.

just my experience.

Hi Ray...I've heard benzodent or orabase help alot.   I got something
from my primary care dr that is great...it's prescription but not sure of
the name.  Maybe you can call your p/c for help.  The warm salt water
swishes will help too.

Hi all....I just received my perms and they're pretty nice but still can't
get used to all that plastic in the palate area.  I may go in and have them
remove some of it...when I eat all my food does is slide around the top..no
grip at all and I miss that.    My dentist is pretty much against adhesive
and removing some of the palate.  Anyone else ever done this and how much do
they remove?  I did ask the man guy whose name is on the dental clinic cause
he was the dentist in for my perms.  He said well, if you want your teeth to
stay in..you need that palate.  But, like someone said, I always use
adhesive.  I know they're totally against removing some of the palate.  The
bottoms are sooo much better now also.  I told them my bottoms floated and
didn't even stay in with adhesive.  He said bottoms are hard to keep in...I
told him, it shouldn't be that loose.  He told the tech to put a border
around the gum area towards the back and sides and that helped so much!!

The best adhesive that beats them all is DEN  TEK Secure.  It is wonderful.
I bought it online at drugstore.com but I hear you may be able to pick some
up at Wal Mart CVS and some other places depending on where you live.

I am wearing a full upper and partial lower immediates. I still have
the stitches in my mouth and was wondering if i can use any adhesive
over the stitches??
thanks

I have had mine for only about a month and they fit like a dream, have you gone
back for a refitting. I would try something else. It shouldn't be that tough,
although I don't think I could eat corn on the cob with mine.  I still mostly
cut up everything but I can eat everything.  I am 43 and don't regret getting
mine at all.  If I were you I would go see your dentist again.

gums will change a bit during the extractions and therefore you will
find that the fit is not 100%. The first days will be a bit

to the dentist is you have sore spots and let him adjust this is

Hello, today (4-26)after work i did it. I went to the dentist, was scared, but
after waiting all those years i did it. The dentist had trouble extracting a few
of my teeth, and used some drill device to cut through the tooth(it seemed thats
what was going on)which got it out. Lots of numming shots, the procedure took
almost two hours. What i found that hurt the most was the stiches! Oh my stars
that hurt. I return in ten days to have the stiches taken out. Afterwards the
dentist placed in my denture and handed me a mirror. The reflection i saw was a
major improvement. Big time! I was concerned about the way my mouth looked when
i spoke, my mouth seemed to protrude out a bit. the dentist explained how it was
just swollen, and to place ice on my mouth for awhile. I also noticed she placed
gauze along my gums and placed the denture in. Since I've gotten home, the
swelling has gone down alot, can speak okay, the denture gum line under my top
lip seems to trap air (?) and have
  changed the gauze like two times. I'm getting ready to rinse my mouth and leave
the gauze out this time, and placing the denture in for the night. Am i doing
the right thing? What is the correct way to put the denture back in, Does it
normaly hurt, and take a little time to ajust or is it because my mouth is sore?
Thank you for reading this, would like your advice, talk to you soon!  Patrick

If you go to their website you can get a complete list of prices.
They also offer what they  call mini implants which are posts you can
get to hold your dentures in.  I have been very happy with their work
and their prices.

Patrick,
   Don't worry just get your pain pills and you'll be fine. I had stiches but
they were the kind that dissolve.  I traveled to Canada the very next day for a
conference.  I was sore and a little swollen but nothing to bad and I had upper
and lower teeth removed both upper and lower temporary dentures put in.  You
will be fine.

   Let us know how it goes.
