unexpected problem post op.

[SOON SLIM SUE]

my problem is my false teeth do not fit my mouth any more. i have an ap to see a dentist tomorrow (monday). if he can reline them I'll be OK cost approx £130.00, if not it's going to cost me approx £500.00 for new ones.
i spent all Friday afternoon trying to get an NHS dentist with no luck.
has anyone else had this problem!!!!!!!!!!!

No but i have two false bottom teeth and haven't put them in for weeks cos they aren't comfortable. My husband thought the tissue i wrapped them in was rubbish and threw them away.... So now i need new teeth, hopefully these new ones will be better xx

Teeth, Dont talk to me about teeth, I need a mouth full of new ones, I will be honest and say I was completely dentist phobic, so I wouldn't go but now my mouth is so bad, ive had to bite the bullet, I have found over the past 18 months my teeth have really deteriorated and I am convinced its due to the Gastric Bypass, I have been very ill and i am still struggling with my nutrition levels etc so hey ho, off to the dentist I go..

Oh no what a pain. If you call NHS direct they can tell you where a local NHS dentist is.

i have tried NHS direct but the numbers they gave me are only taking on people on benefit.

Id phone back and tell them that and as if there are others x

teeth

LOL I just remebered, once when I worked in an nursing home, a care assistant on with me on nights (she wasn't the sharpest tool in the box, bless her)

thought it would be time saving to bung all the old dears teeth in one big bowl and wash them all at once!

Oh my word, you should've seen the palava at breakfast, having a mass teeth trying on session try to sort out who's where who's !

I've not got false teeth, but I do have to wear a mouth guard at night as I'm a 'grinder' - It cost me £700 and it's now too big!

The other thing I've noticed is that the glasses that I bought in January are now huge on me. Every time I look down, they fall off. I took them back to the optician, who tightened them up as much as they could, but they still fall off. It's embarassing to have to have them on a lanyard, but it's better than losing the blooming things! x
