To Tikidax2...Dentures can be very tough to get 'used to'...anytime a plastic material[dentures] is set tightly against tissue [area where teeth are missing] there can be sore spots and adjustments will be neccessary.Sometimes where the back teeth are missing the boney portion will resorb to varying degrees decreasing the 'suction' and fit of the denture[I assume you are having an upper denture].Also...my experience is that the lower dentures are the most difficult because the ridge[where teeth are missing] can be thin and you do NOT have suction...meaning you control the denture somewhat with your tongue.There are dentures which can be made with a thin 'rubbery-like' material that acts as a 'cushion' onto the tissue.You may want to ask if that is available when you have the exam.Ask the Dentist if you have a favorable upper and lower ridge to accomodate the denture.I've made plenty of them!!...but never wore one!!..Hope this helps...Tom Richardson...incisor485.....com...oh..I'm a Dentist!!
