chewing gum will give you fits. I never dipped with em in but I can see that grit getting under them and make for a hell of a problem.

yeah the damn things will gag youI just took a dremel to mine till I quit gagging. I cut a lot of the palate area out. NOT what you should do but I did. At some point I plan to go with an upper attached to implants. It's an expensive process but a lot more like natural chewing i'm told.
If you can afford it , it's definitely the way to go.
First 14 days will be rough, while soft tissue is healing. Next 2 months will be manageable but not pleasant as bone heals and remodels. As the bone heals, it atrophies. Without teeth, the jaw bone shrinks; over time you’ll need to have the plates relined to fit the jaws as the they shrink. A way to avoid bone loss and have more stable plates is to put a couple implants in each arch. The plate can literally snap onto these and do not move around, help maintain bone volume over the years and give you more confidence.
I also recommend getting a cheap backup set. Dentures break, sink, get lost, get eaten by pets, disappear, etc... (imagine being on vacation and your plate breaks or is eaten by the dog. A backup set allows for you to have teeth while your good set is repaired or newly made.
I’ve seen it all over 23 yrs.
I have people in my family eat steaks hamburgers just about everything with NO TEETH lol. They told me your gums get tough over time.I had an appointment on Monday to have an evaluation. I am planning to have my upper teeth extracted and getting upper dentures. Im tired of being in pain and if Im going live Im going to learn to smile and want a a decent smile. I will have them removed and Ill get my temp dentures that day and then permanents once my gums heal. The molds have been done and now just waiting for my appointment.
Just curious if anyone has tips and pointers? What did you eat the first while? Did you lose a lot of weight? Will I ever be able to eat a steak again?
