Cosmetic Dentistry / Re: Denture Problems

« on: October 12, 2012, 10:54:40 PM »

Hey hayley5353, Usually it takes a while to get used to complete dentures. This time varies from patient to patient. As the bone under the dentures changes in shape initially thus takes some time to finally settle down. Give her some time and motivation to try to adapt to the new dentures. It sure isnt a nice feeling having to use such mouthful dentures in one go. That is why some dentists prefer removing just a few teeth at a time and replacing them. In this way, patient is given enough time to get used to having dentures replacing few teeth whilst having some natural teeth. Although it is tiresome but she must keep up with her visits to dentist and get the fitting of the dentures checked. She must also keep the dentures and her gums healthy by proper cleaning. I hope she is using some mouthwashes too. Hope this helped in some way.

General Dentistry / Mouth ulcer pain, help?

I have a mouth ulcer caused by my dental brace. My brace has been broken a bit anyway (this did not cause the ulcer) so I'm calling them tomorrow to get it fixed, which means I won't be seeing them till probably next week, so I can't get some of that wax stuff they give you any time soon. Bonjela DOES NOT WORK. I live in the UK so please don't suggest anything that you get in America. Like home remedies? Remember, the brace is going to constantly rub against the ulcer
