Idea

[matthew55]

I'm thinking of getting all my teeth removed and have full dentures top and bottom. I don't use them anymore and it would mean no toothache or brushing. What do you think? 😁x

They can't take them all out at once so it might take a while. Stephen has no teeth at the top. Has dentures but doesn't wear them. Do you have all your teeth? I think having teeth might support your mouth more. Ellie might be able to come up with a suggestion. Can you email your dentist or doctor. 😬

There is some logic in what you are thinking but there’s also something in the saying “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it “

That's just it. My teeth have moved as has my jaw so they are not aligned. I'm missing three teeth at the moment. Oh and I know it will involve more than one session. 😁x

You would have to think about how you would deal with the blood. I understand why you're thinking like that but I'd get as much advice as possible first. 🤔

What's life without a little risk? 😃x

[denise]

There is that 😊

Matthew there is a period of a few months before your gums settle before a fitting for a palate. You may find your jaw distorts during this period.

Are you going to bother with false teeth?

Could join the world gurning championships if there all gone 😂👍🏻

[matthew55]

We will have to wait and see 😂x

Worth asking your dentist, if you think having no teeth would make your day to day life easier.

You still need to clean dentures - no idea what that entails - and clean your oral cavity (for want of a better phrase 😁) to keep the lurgies from colonising.

Short term pain, for sure, but it might be worth it?

Sorry about your wonder brush xx

[matthew55]

I have been referred to a Dental Hospital and I will discuss it with them. 😃x

[denise]

I remember when they used to uses domestos to put false teeth in! 😲

[matthew55]

I've been pondering and I am not getting dentures. Gummy here I come. 😃x
