[@teresacollins1913]

Your videos have given me so much encouragement...I am going on Weds. to get my set.... Thank You for making these videos for us who are facing this!

[@smokeyone]

Thank you for these videos they are helping me more than i thought they would.

[@raechelyndawn2580]

You are talking really good!

[@haroldkinder1742]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for posting all these videos. You are currently my Hero! I am in Day 8 of having my top denture plate put in. I had all the top teeth removed and an immediate denture put in. what an experience this has been! Your videos have majorly helped. Thank you so much for posting these videos!

[@Blazedbarbie333]

Thanks for this Wonderful and Informative Video. I have been wearing dentures for 6 months and I wish I would have made this choice to get them done 10 yrs. ago. Congrats and I hope your training goes well. Please keep us posted

[@beachchickdentures]

***** Thank you! and me too.. why did I wait so long? The stigma I'm sure. I'm glad you're so happy too :)

[@SonshineLady7]

I wish I would have made this choice 10 years ago as well. That is when I began "Round Two" of most of my teeth having root canals and crowns. :/

[@nancylynn4629]

Thanks for the encouragement yes, you look nice

[@hollycanitia1887]

I am 5 days away from getting full extractions and dentures. My person who was suppose to be there for moral support backed out last minute so I am extra nervous. Watching your videos is really helping. Thank you!

[@sexysagitarius1965]

Hi, how did it go? I’m going to be going through this myself soon.

[@Skarfp]

You crack me up! What a great personality! We should do lunch! Thanks again for your great attitude and pep-talks.

[@kayryleeniall2182]

your videos are helping me greatly in my preparation for full extractions and immediate dentures. I have an anxiety disorder and am quite scared of getting through this whole process. especially the first few days...thanks for sharing

[@SonshineLady7]

Hi Kayrylee! How did your extractions go? I also live with an anxiety disorder and my main anxiety is that I will be awake. I've had major dental work done over the past 30ish years and had an amazing dentist who was an expert in comfort measures for his patients. For some of the more extensive work he prescribed Halcion which put me into a "twilight sleep." The dentist who will be doing my extractions uses Valium instead and I'm concerned I will be "too awake." I've had all my back teeth pulled but, for some unexplainable reason, having especially the two top front teeth pulled is freaking me a bit.

[@sexysagitarius1965]

I battle anxiety and depression myself. I’m getting ready to go through this. I’m very nervous. Any advice would be great.

[@chandrasilva5358]

Really helpful. Thanks. Hugs.

[@thefroggyclub223kraykramer3]

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I'm just having a hard time admitting I have to go through everything.

Thanks...great vid!!

[@marysimpson5335]

I watched all your videos, you're really down to earth and funny. I'm on day three and thought I made a big mistake but your videos have helped me considerably. Thanks :)

[@lauriestone3454]

I’m so happy I found you! I go for my first appt/consult in a couple weeks, on the 21st. I’m terrified of the pain (having IV sedation) and I’m so scared of getting a major infection in my jawbones and it going to my brain and dying! Has this ever happened? I just turned 55 and I still have about 14 teeth on top and 14/16 on bottom. Several have decayed away but the roots are r still in my gums!!!! Omg how can they pull those? Or will they have to cut them! Your videos are helping me not be as scared but I’m worrying rd I’ll go into shock and have a massive heart attack--if I don’t get a brain infection!!! Please help ease my mind!

[@gussiewithlove9261]

Thanks for this video😘

[@unicorn7864]

[@beachchickdentures]

brama1969 Thank you!

[@chantaldowling4342]

I just got my immediates 6 days ago and my dentures are so loose I can’t talk or eat with them. The dentist won’t do a Reline till week three and I don’t know what to do

[@annagrace21]

CHANTAL DOWLING same here girl. I am day 2 of getting mine and its honestly harder than I thought. When they put them in they are still really loose. Its making it harder for me to eat anything. I went to get the back part trimmed because it was too long and thick. Next week they will reline it.

[@JohnSVT]

I’m have my E day tomorrow 28 teeth getting pulled I’m 39 I’m scared I feel like it’s the end of the wold for me . My anxiety level is high haven’t been able to eat or sleep for the past week 😔

[@rfbrake3]

A dry socket is a hole where your tooth was and when they extract it instead of the extraction leaving a blood clot to help it heal there's no blood clot so it's left with a hole in your gum. The one I had I looked in the mirror with a flashlight and saw this white thing at the bottom of the hole (where my tooth was extracted) turned out to be my jaw bone. They are very painful! I had to go back to the dentist for like four weeks so he could put some kind of medicine in the hole to numb the pain. After that I didn't have any trouble with it and it healed the way it should have in the first place. I have had two and they are not fun.

[@lauriestone3454]

Your teeth look awesome!!!!!! How many teeth did you have extracted??????

[@suzannefernandez470]

You're doing a heck of a lot better than I was at 7 days. I'm doing better now at 45 days. I like Seabond and its cheaper than Cushiongrip. Everyone is so different. Good thing we have lots of choices.

[@MichelleSmith-xw7ze]

Do you still do the forum Beach Chick ? I'm on day 6 of full immediate dentures

[@islanderman-sr9tq]

i be been having alot of gaging issues have u ?i honly have my top done

[@megamardee]

THANKS THANKS THANKS.....

[@alntresa]

Can I leave dentures in overnite?

[@GoFarFarAway.]

Day 5, OUCH STILL! The coffee and water thing is exactly what I am going thru now.

[@dianpogue3999]

I am at day 7 today and can't wear them full time. I gag so bad on the tops. The bottom I have never worn. I am devastated. I wish I had the same experience that you are having.

[@annagrace21]

Dian Pogue god me too!! Im like day 2 with them right now and its harder than I thought. Pain bruising of course and they are not sticking to my mouth which sucks. It makes it much harder to eat

[@lauraswihart8018]

I'm day 3 & they ain't fun!😣I'm ok with just the top, but my partial bottom is sore. This sucks, eating with them is horrid. Did you ever get new ones?

[@debbiemurphy2433]

I'm so depressed about my teeth.. How do you get over the depression

[@SonshineLady7]

Hi Debbie...I haven't had my final extractions/dentures yet so I can't be of much help on this topic yet but, if you're not a member yet, I HIGHLY recommend joining the online Dentures A New Smile (DANS) community. LOTS of great people and help. The website is: denturesanewsmile.ning.com/ If your application for membership gets stuck in "pending" - then go to: denturesanewsmile.ning.com/main/index/report At the very bottom of the page, on the right side is a link to "Report an Issue." Go there and state that you have been waiting for your membership to be approved. I had to do that and got an email response that same day!

[@CourageousDreamerAllon4journey]

Right?😔😔

[@tiffanylayne2419]

I hope my dentures dnt stay this bulky, I jst had my extractions yesterday, and I look lke a horse with my dentures and can’t tlk for nothing , hope this goes away

[@douglasb.1238]

This lady has done much better than most people do. I'm having very sore gums and bottom dentures cause me too much pain to wear them and they don't stay in place anyway. I'm at day three now and not close to being happy with what I have done. By the way, Halcion didn't do much to me to ease my anxiety much less the pain during the procedure. In all honesty, being put to sleep is the only way to go. I just couldn't afford it. This is a traumatic procedure to be undertaken and it is life changing in many ways.

[@jackiejovanoska9755]

How did you adjust to the lower? thanks

[@alyssandra777]

I am at day 7. I can’t wear The lowers. Too many ulcers. I am still very sore. I have Sjogrens so lack of salivation is a huge problem.

[@lpetite8636]

You look great.

[@dawnifert8826]

How do you get beyond the gag reflex ???? I have been having difficulty with it . Can you help me on this ?

[@rfbrake3]

Does the dentist stitch your gums after the extractions? Boy, I would hate to get my teeth extracted and then have a dry socket. I've had two of them and they are so painful.

[@sammy5714]

David Brakefield can you explain a dry socket? Tks!

[@The_Only_Tracy]

I got 22 pulled NO STITCHES

[@francescjohnstone]

I'm dying to know how the eggs & cream cheese when that you were so "susceptible" to. :)

[@ilovebobthecat]

Omg. I've only watched a bit over one minute and I must say - well, holy shit. I do believe day seven was when I needed OxyContin. Seventeen extractions, the floor of my mouth was so swollen I had a hard time swallowing saliva. Ok, now I'll watch the rest.

[@michswags]

Where will you go since cushiongrip has been discontinued??

[@jonathanwilson2109]

When you said you lost your dentures I cracked up😂😂😂

[@shigdon8899]

I've had the same experience with the water...hated it before, love it now...however (and maybe because I just have uppers right now and 10 of my own lowers)...I GAINED dimples lol. Do you miss yours?

[@beachchickdentures]

Oh wow, that is too funny! Mine are starting to sneak back, at 5 weeks, but they're not what they used to be. I don't miss them at all, because I don't miss anything about the way I used to look hahaha.. How do you like yours?

[@shigdon8899]

Beach Chick I like them :) I watched your other video on "glue"...I'm guessing for me the adhesive might be a little different since I had no stitches at all (not sure if that's a good thing or not)...but I have reached that point where the swelling is pretty much gone, so I have some looseness. I've done adhesive just on the palate up till this point, but I'm thinking maybe since I'm 12 days out it might be okay to start putting some in the front?

[@Ambergris24]

I have a bigger appetite I can’t get enough to eat and my mouth says no don’t eat . I was going to fast as it can help with healing in several ways besides not contaminating the mouth or risk getting food in the sockets But I’m too hungry.

[@wormwood7884]

What kind of dentures do you have ? Traditional ? Snap on?

[@TinaJackson]

You train dogs?? I LOVE training and dogs and will be having my immediate dentures on the 24th. Aahh!! I am keeping my bottom front teeth, 6 of them and they keep trying to talk me into "natural shades" and I am like yeah, I want to kind of match my bottom teeth but I really want to whiten them as much as possible and then get as white as dentures as I can on my uppers because, I smoke and drink coffee...so they are going to get a little dingy, right? *sigh* Why can't they just let me error on the side of whiter than the side of yellower? Is yellower a word? Apparently, since my spellcheck program isn't correcting it. LOL Anyway, I'd LOVE to see some videos on dog training if you are game. I know there are the main two sides of thinking when it comes to training and they can get pretty controversial but ultimately, I believe it comes down to what is best for the dog and that's the bottom line. Okay, I'm rambling...way too nervous about the 24th which I shouldn't be...I've had a child with no medication natural, so no biggie right? Except I was not terrified of giving birth! Ugh! Okay, here we go!

[@debbiemurphy2433]

I feel like my face looks different

[@vfromthaburg]

Wowww...soo you think tht the reason tht you dont need coffee is bc your body is healing & it just doesnt need it & you maybe craving water during ths time bc again yor body is healing & rebooting...hmm..i wish tht ppl would do more vids on the subject of infectious teeth in your blood & how they are feeling/changing after extraction...bc i know tht tht plays a huge roll in everything tht we do

[@BrokenInTheBox]

I am a week past E-Day. Days 2-5 were the worst for me. My swelling and bruising didn't peak until day 4/5! I'm still not able to speak clearly; and most of the pain came from the bone shaving and a sore spot on the bottom from it rubbing the inside of the gums beneath my tongue. I have been living on Jell-O, pudding, oatmeal, applesauce, mashed bananas, scrambled eggs and lots of ice cream. It hurts to chew anything not soft. Saltwater rinses 4 times a day and at night before bed followed by a 30-60 second rinse with Biotene. I too have been craving lots of water....ice water, the colder, the better. Also, if I never have to eat scrambled eggs again, I'd be a happy camper! I watched a lot of videos prior to E-Day; but I must say that none of them prepared me for the emotional aspect of it all. The first week is the hardest part so far. Day 8 here and I am just beginning to feel a little better, but that's probably from the pain pills...lol I'm a total hermit, refuse to go out in public until I can speak clearly without sounding like a drunkard! Everyone says that it gets better, I'm hoping that will be soon!

[@sara-rk2cm]

Drinking lots of water like you.

[@tehharu]

Does chewing feel funny?

[@beachchickdentures]

I don't really chew yet, because I don't want to aggravate things, but it feels pretty neat actually.

[@Skor1img]

Just stop talking and swallow 🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼

[@angiewinstead4055]

And you can’t pronounce words that you used to be able to do without thinking!!!!!!

[@sharonsanderson4514]

Where are you going to in North Carolina. Myrtle Beach down towards Hatteras where you going?.

[@sharonsanderson4514]

I got my teeth extracted on the 8th October I had to hunt down my money after a split from Dental works here in Hickory North Carolina and then when the extractions were done they showed my immediate dentures in my mouth I was bleeding profusely had multiple incisions and they didn't fit then I was choking and on the the saliva and the blood and they packed my mouth full of cars and sent me up the road without any pain medicine or anything they sent in a prescription for amoxicillin and that was it. And now that all the stitches have come out and and the swelling is going down I have two black eyes my face was black. And I have not been able to wear them I put them in for a few minutes and they are not even not even close so I've got some Christian grip yesterday and I'm going to try it as soon as I eat my breakfast I'm going to go in there and wash my mouth out and clean my teeth and try to realign these things because I have to have a driver take me to the place today switch from in Hickory all the way to Greensboro and it cost me$100 every time I go. But I'm dreading The experience if it doesn't turn out well. I can't afford to go down there every 2 or 3 days just to do what I'm supposed to do that's why I found a establishment at that time to do my teeth and now the company split and taking no complete responsibility and what the situation for me is.

[@cajunkarl4828]

Nice
