This has been the hardest thing I have ever done in my life but I am winning. Slowly but surely. You are saying, "What is she winning?" I have got thru all the stages I have to go thru almost to be able to have new teeth after 29 years. That probably doesn't sound that hard to you. But it has been hard.
I got dentures when I was 43 years old. My dentist in Sweetwater evidently done a good job. I only had one impression and never had to go back for adjustments. After so many years they had wore down and it wasn't easy to eat with ill fitting teeth. I don't know if that was all the only reason I had problems for the last few years having trouble swallowing . I had anxiety too and all of that has got better. Since I am alone. I really don't understand how I am under less stress alone but I am.
I decided it was time to get a new set of dentures and I have always been so nervous going to the dentist. I went anyway. I got my impressions done. I had to go three times before I got them. Little did I know what I was in for when I did get them. I have been back 7 times. Every time I eat very much there is another place hurting. I cant eat anything hard. I am just hoping I don't lose any weight.
My dentist is closed from Friday to Monday. Every time I need an adjustment it seems to be on the weekend. At least it don't take long and I have gotten so used to this dentist I don't mind going. He is a very good dentist and just a few blocks from my house.
My ex husband got teeth and then he never would wear them. You have got to do that to get used to them. I thought mine would be easy since I already had some. Was I wrong! These are longer and thicker. It is like learning to eat all over again. At first I couldn't even drink with them. I got that down now. I can even eat soft foods. Hard food hurts so I have not mastered that yet. But I will. I have my Moms determination and I can do anything. Eventually.... And if I can do it anybody can.
