I'm back! Only had the top set done, he hadn't got the bottom plate, that will be done in three months.

Well it wasn't too bad, though I shook really badly while he was numbing my mouth, but the teeth came out really easily, and he took a while over fitting the dentures. He said I did really well considering how nervous I was. I said 'Did it show?' 'Only by the shaking' he said lol

Anyway, it all feels a bit strange, I'm dribbling a bit out of one corner, but my top lip is very swollen at the moment. I have a popping sensation, as if I've got space-dust inside my top lip. Never felt that before but hey! I've gagged a couple of times, but otherwise it's comfortable, and I can talk and swallow pretty well.

Hagar is moaning that I'm sucking me teeth, but I told him, my mouth is numb, I have the plate and I've got to get used to swallowing, so shut up and put up with it LOL. I can feel something sitting on my bottom lip, it's cold, and I don't know if its the teeth or my top lip. Hagar says my gob's shut for a change so it must be the top lip I can feel.

Got me steredent and polygrip, so ready to gooooo. Bacon butty at the weekend, if I dare, in crusty bread mmmmmm

Oh and they look ok too, no pink plastic at the front, the teeth meet the gums so they look more natural. I'm pleased.

a quid Julia May, dont you get stickers for the ones removed....

I think it's two-pound coins nowadays....that's inflation for you, I used to get a sixpence, that's 2 1/2 p in today's money. Wouldn't even buy a blackjack. lol

don't forget to ask for them to put under your pillow for the tooth fairy. What's the going rate these days?

Fifteen, one for each remaining tooth LOL

How many sticker do you think you will get ? Will you be asking for a princess fairy one?

Good luck tomorrow TW

Already done. They were supposed to come out on Friday but it was cancelled because of the weather.

stock up on adhesive, denture tablets & bath (or a glass by the bed).

Good luck - thinking of you

Yes Hayley, I have it done tomorrow...10.15 am, so I should have the feeling back by teatime, at least enough to try chewing my soup hehehe

you have it done tomorrow **frets**

No you won't dribble darling...when I had mine done,Mr Murphy whipped them out clamped them in, shut my mouth, told me a long boring story and I never looked back:-)) BCXX

The dentures will be fitted tomorrow as well as my teeth out. I had the impressions done before Christmas.

BC Me???? Stop talking???? Nah, but I might dribble a bit PMSL

Are you having teeth out tomorrow and dentures fitted at same time or will you have to wait for them to be made?

Oh good luck tomorrow TW! You will simply have to stop talking for a few days and you will be grand:-) BC XX

Thank you Ann. i reckon I'll have a lisp for a few days while I get used to the plate, but that's a small price to pay lol

good luck tomorrow Teresa, hope all goes well.

Right, dentist appointment take two tomorrow, at 10.15. I originally took the option of only having the top set taken out this time and the bottom set later, but I want it over and done with now...let's get on with it.

Awww I have been thinking of you all day it will soon be over with xx

I am the world's worst baby for going to the dentist.
My daughter saw this joke this morning, and sent it to me - she asked me if it reminds me of anyone! I couldnt stop laughing as some of the things it said, is word for word about me! LOL

Hope it gives you all a laugh!

(I am a dentist about to give a patient a shot of local anesthetic).

Patient: “I hate needles. Will this hurt?”

Me: “Just concentrate on taking nice, deep breaths. It’ll be
over before you know it.”

Patient: “Could you please tell me when you’re ready to give
the shot? I need to know!”

Me: “Sure. I’ll give it on the count of three. Ready? One, two–”

Patient: *screams* “You’re killing me! It hurts so much!”

Me: “I haven’t actually given you the shot yet.”

Patient: “Oh. Well, um, I was just practicing for when you did.”
