- New Dentures: Pain - Speech Problems: I had all my teeth surgically removed 2 months ago. I just had dentures made and inserted. The problem is that I have bubble looking places protruding on the outside of the lower gum. This will not allow the bottom plate to fit properly without pain, also, it causes the bottom plate to tilt outward just a little. What can be done about these problems? I am considering just not wearing the bottom plate, since it causes so much pain to insert them and I can't speak clearly at all with the lower denture in. ...Visitor from OK (answer)
- Fear of intimacy because of my denture: I am 32 years old, and I have a top denture. I am extremely self-conscious about having it. I am recently divorced, am lonely, and would like to start dating. The problem is that I'm terrified to date anyone, for fear of them kissing me and realizing that I have a top denture. It's so frightening to me, that I will not date anyone. Is there any way that someone can kiss me and not notice that I'm wearing the denture? What is your advice to someone in my situation? I feel so isolated and alone. It's literally keeping me from having a social life. I can't bear to have to tell someone that I have the denture. I'd rather stay alone than to have to tell my date about it. ...Visitor from NY (answer)
- Tight Dentures over Implants: My bottom denture was fitted over dental implants. I don't have any bone in rest of mouth. The dentures have been too tight and when I take them out, my gums throb terribly. One of the abutments digs into my bottom gum and I am in agony if I take the denture out. I don't know where to go or what to do because no dentist seems able to fix it. Is there a hopital where I could go or any solution to this problem? ...Visitor from NY (answer)
- Denture wax try in: My current dentures do not fit well after 5 years. I'm having a new set of dentures made. After the impression taken, I went for a wax try in visit two weeks ago. My denturist put adhesive in the upper wax denture. I did not like the size and shape so he had me come in for another wax try in. This time I told him not to use adhesive. The upper model would fall down whenever I tried to open my mouth to speak. My denturist said the wax model cannot be made to fit tightly but the final actual denture would fit properly. Does it sound right? I remember the
wax models for my old dentures were perfectly fit and I was able to open my mouth, speak, bite and close my mouth freely without adhesive. ...Visitor from AZ (answer)

- Intimacy: I have a severe dental phobia, which has resulted in very poor teeth. I have finally worked up courage to see a dentist who has recommended extractions and full dentures. I am comfortable with this. However, I have been worrying lately about intimacy. I am quite young woman (36), I enjoy a healthy intimate life with my husband and am concerned about how wearing dentures might affect this. My main areas of concern are during kissing, and during oral sex. I don't know if I am likely to experience difficulties, and can't find any answers, maybe because it's such a sensitive issue? It's also not a subject I feel comfortable talking to my dentist about. I wonder if you could give me some advice? ...Visitor from UK (answer)
- MY dentures: About 4 months ago I had all my teeth pulled out and dentures put in. They are way too big for my mouth and the top plate doesn't line up with my bottom plate. I can not eat anything with them in. The dentist I went to charged me $3,300 and the only thing he said to me on my last visit is "they are what they are." I don't know who to call or talk to. I want so bad to be able to wear them all the time. But I don't know who to talk to about the problem. I am so hoping that you can help me some how. ...Visitor from FL (answer)
- Dentures and Periodontal Disease: I have severe periodontal disease in my upper teeth with a lot of bone loss and I'm getting dentures next week. My question is, once I have my teeth pulled does that take care of the periodontal disease, or is it in my jaw bone? Is pulling the teeth enough to get rid of the disease or are additional treatments for the disease needed even though I'm getting dentures? ...Visitor from MI (answer)
