Sore mouth from dentures! Signs to look for in ill fitting dentures 

Snap! Me too. Disgrace what they've put me through. I feel same as you, they lost my trust now.

Yes !!! Pulled my teeth October... Just got my dentures March and they are awful !!! But told it takes a month to get use to them... Well FART !!!

Hi, Depending on country and state, a lot of government services are available , to give assistance to denture patients . In our country of Australia , some states even pay 100% if the fee. Maybe look into the government assistance in your state to see if there’s help available . Dental prosthetist under go 6 years minimum in education to be able to do the amazing work they do. That would help give a reason as to why they can cost , for what maybe , a lot to some people I hope this helps you .

@@thedenturecliniccanberra4968 I can totally understand that dentists must make a living at what they do, for sure. I just lost my teeth to a dentist last year who I've been seeing for a few years. He knows implants, but apparently when he decided I need dentures, he didn't tell me he was still learning and didn't know very much about it. I didn't know all this, so when I started asking why my upper dentures were hurting me, that I thought they were too big, (they're huge and I can barely close my mouth around them), he told me he was 'giving up' and I needed another doc to finish the job. I don't even have the lowers yet. I paid 2k (my insurance is supposed to pay the other half), but my insurance won't pay until he can produce proof of training, which he doesn't have. That was July of 2021. I still don't have the lowers. Ugh.. I want to trust dentists, but it's hard after this.. Thanks for answering me so fast!

It will. It’s a journey. It may take weeks to months. Eventually you’ll settle in with them if they are made correctly . Good luck

@@thedenturecliniccanberra4968 Thank you , getting there slowly but surely 👍🏻

Your welcome , thanks for the kind words :)

Hi Sonja, just by going of what your saying, it sounds like , there’s possibly a small boney region, which the denture scrapes as it’s getting removed or inserted . This is very common and a small adjustment can help. As for the electric shock, again, it sounds like the denture is pressing close to a nerve which can give that shock feeling. Generally it’s ontop of the lower ridge. This can also be eased with an adjustment . Your prosthetist should be able to pin point these areas of pain and give some relief. Hope that helps and Goodluck
