Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / May 2007New Top denture
Hi everyone. I just had 7 teeth pulled TUesday and I got my immediate upper. I was wondering can you use adhesive before the extraction sites have healed. and also can someone tell me the best way to insert the denture it seems I cant get mine to sit just right all the time. I like it so far its just so awkward and hard to speak and eat. Any tips would be great. Thanks Shannon No offense, but these are questions that the treating dentist should answer. For my patients, I think adhesives are OK in areas where teeth have not recently been extracted, but not 'all over' the plate. I show them how much and where to place the adhesive on the first post-op appt. (which is the next day after insertion). I posted suggestions for rookie denture wearers a month or so ago. I don't know if you have a way of looking that up or not. D > Hi everyone. I just had 7 teeth pulled TUesday and I got my immediate > upper.

Thanks Shannon i do not like adhesives for dentures especially long term use, there are better options. > i do not like adhesives for dentures especially long term use, there > are better options. Of course there are, but not alot of people can afford them. John My thoughts exactly. Heck, I don't even like dentures! Life in the trenches teaches a different lesson. Sometimes just finding a way for patients to cope is the best you're going to get. Alex is an OK guy, but he lives in California where everybody has money. ;-) D >>i do not like adhesives for dentures especially long term use, there >>are better options. > > Of course there are, but not alot of people can afford them. > > John Darlos, in repsonse to your question about adhesive for denture wearers, try using powder instead of a gel or paste. It will be so much more comfortable. MH |
