Please could someone offer some advise. I am really worried about my Dad he is in his mid 50%26#039;s and has had to have false teeth fitted. The problem is that he is unable to eat anything and he has lost so much weight. He has to take his teeth out every meal time and he says it makes him feel quite sick he is only eating brad and soup. He is quite a shy man and wont speak to anyone about his problem (apart from me). Does anyone know anyone who is also suffering? Do you have any advise or tips that you could kindly share?Thanks
Unable to eat with false teeth.?
It does sound as though they may not be as well fitting as they should be. Maybe the %26#039;bite%26#039; is uncomfortable and needs to be adjusted by the dentist. Could you arrange (with his permission) another appointment at the dentist or at a different dentist, if friends are able to recommend a good one.
Reply:He needs to get new, better fitting ones. I assume you live in the US? They have these places all over the country called
Affordable Dentures. See if you can locate them where you live. It%26#039;s not healthy for him to only eat that. Try some Carnation instant Breakfast, just add milk and a Multi Vitamin a day. It would be a good start. He can also have Ensure too.
Reply:My 88 year old mother has the same problem. She can eat all soft foods, but nothing that has to be bitten or chewed. She says the dentures hurt and cut her gums when she bites down, but won%26#039;t go back to have them refitted. A lot of her food she puts through a food processor to make it easier to eat. Your father will learn how to compensate and what foods he can eat and enjoy.
Reply:First off he needs to make sure there are no sore bits on his gums caused by the dentures. If there are his dentist can trim bits off the denture to make a better fit. He should brush his gums as well when he cleans his teeth to make them a bit stronger and keep them healthy. He should try to eat with his dentures in - start off with something soggy - bread popcorn etc and put a little bit in each side of his mouth - if he only fills one side of his mouth it will be lopsided and a bit difficult to chew. If he gets some of that fixative stuff it should help his denture stay in. He should also have got advice and a booklet from his dentist about how to treat the denture and learn to eat. Tell him to persevere cos it can be done, but apples are out I think. Bananas are good to practice on.
Reply:Hi, i know how you dad feels it is not a nice feeling, and there are denture grips out there which can help. And even going back to the dentist and the dental technician i have found that really there is no substitute for your own teeth But i have found the only way to enjoy any meal is to take them out, and he will be surprise how really very few take any notice., it just take time.
Reply:This actually killed my father. Ill fitting dentures caused him to stop eating. He didn%26#039;t tell me he was having a problem and I didn%26#039;t know he stopped eating.
It is very important that your dad go to the dentist and get the denture fixed so he can chew properly. Failing that he should do whatever is necessary to replace the denture.
Some suggestions to get him eating - even without his teeth. Frozen dinners often are soft in texture and should be very easy to eat. Salsbury Steak (actually soft hamburger), Chicken Tetrezini (small pieces of cubed chicken with pasta), Creamed Chipped Beef, Macaroni and Cheese and anything that is meat and veggie based with a very soft consistency.
One other thing, initially you may want to sit with him while he eats to keep him company. It sounds like he is quite lonely and your being there will make him happy and hopefully give him an appetite.
Best of luck with your dad. Have a safe and happy Christmas.
Reply:he probably needs a reline to make them fit better
gums shrink and then dentures are too big....
try some of the liner sold at Walmart and also use an adhesive until he can get a reline
so sorry for him also, hope this helps
Reply:Hi, poor dad, firstly your mouth changes all the time so weight loss will be an issue and a trip to the dentist may be due, in the mean time he may try some denture paste to keep them in place, the poor thing cant taste anything because they are covering the palate of his mouth and a lot of taste sensors are up there. A visit to the dentist may also find that he may be suitable for %26quot;implants%26quot; putting 2 presstud type things into his gums permantly and then fixting the dentures to them hense so much less movement. I hope he gets sorted this type of thing can get him down. good luck.
Reply:He must go back to the dentist. It might just be a tiny misfit and may even refit it for free. Dentures must be worn 24/7. He should also sleep with it. Don%26#039;t take them out for more than ten minutes at a time, for cleansing etc. He can try leaving it in hot water for five minutes and then force them back (ouch, yes!) which may reshape the dentures for a better fit. I have mine now for seven years and well...unfortunately thats the name of the game.

I am thinking about gating False teeth should i?
i am a teen for the last 9 years or so i have had teeth problems but lately it has got-in whores alot whores
and my teeth will not get any batter ps how mach do you think False teeth would cost
I am thinking about gating False teeth should i?
Well if a dentist has said that you need dentures, go for it. But they arent cheap.. I had no insurance and it cost me $12,000 for all the extractions, etc. But I had a really small mouth, with other problems. I%26#039;d say you are looking at $5,000 at least. The surgery wasn%26#039;t bad, but the first three weeks were rough. I%26#039;m now on week 6. they look good and I can eat pretty good, but not great. It%26#039;s something you really need to talk to your dentist about before jumping into it. I%26#039;m 55, needed to do it for the past ten years but was afraid. If you are young there could be a lot of alternatives.
Reply:Didn%26#039;t you just ask this question a couple of hours ago?
Reply:Your teeth got in whores...?
Reply:LOL
Reply:I have known two people who have had false teeth fairly young and something the dentists don%26#039;t tell you is that for many people it HURTS.
It seems that even though they mould the false teeth to your gums it still rubs. Food gets stuck under the plate and smells and they come out sometimes.
If you can avoid getting the false teeth go for that. If you can%26#039;t then try to go for the ones that are fixed onto metal rods that go into your jaw. I hope your parents own their house because thats how much they will probably cost.
I know its awful to have bad teeth,, but try to stick with them and get them fixed up (cosmetically). False teeth are not the easy fix most of us think they are.
Good luck

false teeth are not cheap...having all your teeth removed is very expensive and then getting fitted for false teeth......usually a $1000 dollars or more depending on the type you acquire, plus the constant fitting and realignments you will need throughout the years.....
Reply:you need to get the bad ones out first, that%26#039;s the hard part, then save your money, because you%26#039;re going to need it....
Reply:Find a good dentist to help you care for your teeth. Use xylitol gum easily found in stores. Trident just came out with a whole line of xylitol gums. Look at the ingredients on the label to make sure it has xylitol. Xylitol is a natural sweetener that kills bacteria that can cause tooth decay. Use it for about 5-10 minutes then spit out.
A dentist can go over your options. Even if you are going to be missing some teeth, your dentist can come up with bridges, flippers, or partials to wear which are 100% better than full dentures. If you have the money, you might even be able to get implants which are almost as good as real teeth.

Did you get false teeth after your gums healed? Do you wear them alot?
I am having all my teeth removed tomorrow, Medicaid wont pay for false teeth until my gums completely heal. I have been told that unless I get dentures right away I will never wear them and it will be painful to try. I am planning on getting dentures in a few months when my gums heal. Has anyone done this ? Did it work out OK? I mean do you actually wear your dentures ?
Did you get false teeth after your gums healed? Do you wear them alot?
The purpose of putting dentures in right after the teeth are extracted is to have something in your mouth to function with while the healing process takes place. These are known as immediate or healing dentures.
Once all of the bone and tissue has healed and recontoured then a set of final dentures can be fabricated. The longer the healing time, the better the fit of the final dentures. In my practice, my patients wait 6 months until the final dentures are made. In the meantime, we work with the healing dentures so they can get used to them and have something to function and chew with.
It%26#039;s not absolutely necessary to have the immediate dentures but be prepared to %26quot;gum it%26quot; and you%26#039;ll have a caved in appearance. And don%26#039;t be in a rush to get the final dentures. Let that tissue and bone heal my friend!!!!
Good luck
Reply:That does not sound rite. Any body I know has gotten dentures the same day so that the gums can conform to the new teeth.
Reply:there is a kind of dentures that you put right after the extraction of your teeth, its called an immediate dentures, they help to the healing process of your gums,and also to get used to the sensation of the dentures. The can be placed about a day or two after the extraction and with regular cleaning and disinfecting they will mold your gums into a good host for the real dentures
