Finally got my new lower denture today ! It’s more comfortable than expected just two weeks after extraction and one day after removing a lot of sutures. I am about to eat my first meal with my new teeth. Tonight, I decided to take it easy and am having beef bourguignon, with large chunks of beef and a cucumber salad .
Update after eating.
The choice of a slow cooked meal was just in case I needed to eat it without my dentures. And it was the right choice because it’s still a little too painful to chew. I’m going to give my gums until next week before I try it again, but I will be wearing the denture for several hours every day in order to get more used to it . Needless to say, the salad went uneaten..
My face is still swollen and a bit tender, but it should be back to normal in about a week or so… I hope .
