      @Maryslim I understand.. Mine make me gag. It sound like you need new dentures. They sound like they are to small. Just remember we are beautiful no matter what. Our teeth I know we have to wear in public. Whenever I eat I discreetly take them out.

      Yep. It’s embarrassing. I’m only 40 and I’m getting close to needing dentures

      Biotene for mouth dryness. I wake up every morning feeling like I’m needing a gallon of water.

      Yes it was super hard... Had to wait 11 months to get my teeth during covid. Just getting comfortable after years of having dentures to wear my teeth. Can only keep them in so long because I start gagging. I have to struggle to keep them in. Drink cold water and suck on lifesavers sugar free to keep them in. I know it will get better. Hang in there❤️

      I still can't wear my dentures very long, they just keep falling out. I have to be very careful what I eat when I do have them in.
