getting used to them

[davidpizzica]

I'm trying to get used to my new dentures. It still feels funny to have teeth in my mouth again. Are there any tips in getting comfortable with them? I have upper and lower dentures. Talking is an experience!

Just relax, try reading the newspaper aloud for a few minutes at a time. That will help you get used to talking with them with no embarrassment, and maybe Marigold will appreciate the "story time," too!

Try to keep them in as much as possible, so your gums gets used to them. One of my uncles left them out too much, then they didn't fit any more.

Well it will just take time David.. They will also take some adjustments as well I am sure.. I know my dad was always having his adjusted.. But after you get use to them & all comfy then it will be second nature eating with them..

You got both? Hummm.. I only have experience with uppers. They DO take getting use to since they are something you are not use to. I had to take mine out several times a day just to give my mouth a rest, no more than 15 minutes per time. Reading aloud is a good way to learn how to talk with them in... WARNING... DO NOT do that whistle thing when you talk with them... VERY irratating to the people who have to hear it.

Just take your time getting use to them, don't be so consious of them. Practice eating at home before you try doing it in public.. I no time, you will be a pro at talking and eating with them.. OH! Don't forget to SMILE!

I am trying to get use to these new eyes!

LB, I hope I can talk with them pretty good because sunday aftenoon, I'll have to try to SING in the choir with these dentures in! Also I'll have to master the art of eating because I'll be cruising our three rivers on the Majestic which will be our bowling banquet. A lot of food!

All that good food?! Ok, don't forget the diet and make WISE choices with what you eat.

Hummmm, sing in the choir Sunday? You better get to practicing!! If they fit right, it shouldn't be a problem.
