Last week I got my teeth removed and dentures fitted but still the pain exists advice?

Q. Dear dr Glaister , I`m really hoping you can help me. I recently had my teeth removed ,and dentures fitted (straight away).I`m petrified of dentists ,and they were made aware of this…hence i was supposed to get both local injections ,and councious sedative? NEITHER worked ,and i sobbed while they yanked and pulled at my teeth..I can recall everything. I also don`t think they put in the right dentures ,as these are not the white ,nice ones i chose ,and was shown by my own dentist. My real problem now ,is after a week ,these throb ,ache ,and i`m bleeding from my gums/mouth still…..also i`m not happy with my so=called new smile?? And could i possibly have an infection?The entire process took less than 9/10 mins ,and i`m still in alot of pain. ANy help would be gratefully appreciated..many thanks

A. Dear,

I am sorry that you have had such a negative experience at the dentist.

Any aesthetic issues you have with the denture can be corrected easily by having the denture remade. This time ensure that you and your dentist are agreed on the shade of the denture to prevent further issues. However the first thing to be addressed should be the pain. It may be that you have an infection and/or that the denture is causing irritation. Either way you will need to return to the dentist to have these problems dealt with. Unfortunately I cannot diagnose the problem without assessing your mouth.

Kind regards

Dr Justin Glaister
