My Dentures Are Loose And Causing Issues, What Do You Suggest?

Monday, March 11th, 2013
Q.

I have top and bottom full set of dentures two years ago but now they have become loose and getting very awkward especially eating amoung people.I either need my dentures relining or a really good set of dentures that are well fixed to my gum.I have been to see my dentist and was not pleased with the direction he told me to take. He suggested implants which is fair enough but you look at the cost of them and consider that I am a pensioner and just don’t have the money. Sorry to rant a little there but I want alternatives. Don’y advise me om implant, just can’t afford it.Give me your best advice.When I eat some food would get under the top denture ,then I’m unable to carry on eating which is very frustrating. Also I have trouble with speech as well sound funny and around my mouth it appear to be sagging.

Why can’t my dentist remove all my teeth and fit dentures?

Q.

Hi please can you help me for the last 20 years ive been asking my dentist to remove all of my teeth, i want dentures, but he refuses. I feel so unhappy and have no self confidence. I suffer with stomach acid due to a few teeth missing making it difficult to chew properly. There must be a dentist some where in the uk that can help me. If i wanted plastic surgery say breast enlargement or facelift that would not be a problem, surely i have rights ? I would be more than happy to sign a legal paper saying that im going against good advice. Please can you help me. Kind regards
