Dentures and Dating

[@JanayDiamond]

My now fiancé brought up me getting dentures when I had been trying to figure out how to bring up the fact that I’d been saving for that procedure. I didn’t realize how hard it was for him to watch me be in severe pain every time we ate at a restaurant we wanted to go to. I winced sometimes w/o even realizing it from biting on most foods. I was eating room temperature soup most of the time because it hurt to eat. It wasn’t any life to live. I got my dentures almost two years ago now and it was the best choice for me and we have enjoyed helping me find new favorite foods. We bonded and our relationship has flourished since I decided to just get the dentures and stop overthinking it. Thank you for this channel. It is wonderful hearing someone talk about this subject.

Is French kissing a problem?

[@Cozy-Sims]

Came back to this video for advice because of a guy I like. I told him from the beginning I had dentures and he said that it didn't bother him at all. Come to think of it, no one I've dated seemed to care about the fact that I wear fake teeth. Like she said, if they have a problem with it then they aren't for you! I know it hurts in the beginning because you really liked them, but just be honest from the start. We got this guys, we deserve love too no matter if our teeth are real or fake.

When I was told in January 2021 that I was going to lose my front teeth, I was HORRIFIED. Just embarrassed, ashamed, defeated. I immediately looked for support online. You were the first person I saw on here. You made me feel so much better, and helped me accept and come to terms with what was going on. I could go on and ON about my whole process lol. I'm turning 27 on March 9th, and on the 18th (one month countdown!) I finally will have my extractions and get a partial denture. I'm terrified, but also SO READY to be able to eat better, be in no pain, and gain my confidence back. I've been blessed with a very amazing and understanding boyfriend, he's been with me for this whole ride. He's seen me and my broken teeth and he's like "you are beautiful. i love you with or without teeth" and I'm just like... I lucked out! I've always been very open about my struggles with him and he gives no judgment. However... he's also curious about how.. it... will feel lmao. Aaaanyway lol, I'm so happy that your uploading more videos again!! Shining light on the subject of dentures is SO important. There is such a stigma surrounding them (aka young people with dentures/partials/etc) More people being aware of this stuff, I feel and would hope, would bring on a more understanding and empathetic world.

[@rmarvel169]

erika fawn hi! Just reading your comment and you remind me soooo much of myself! At 28 I had all mine pulled after thousands of wasted $$$ on bridges, root canals etc. And it was devastating to think of but after I saw how much better I looked and felt AND I could eat, I felt so much better. Now at 53 I've finally reached a point in life that I can get implants but honestly, I did very well all these years but now with bone loss I've decided to go this route because they're so ill fitting. I hope you're doing great !! Thank you for sharing your story 🥰

Best video ever. As a guy who is newly divorced and single, Im freaking out and worried about dating, like, EVER again. My teeth have never been great, but Ive always been told I was attractive and never had a problem getting a date. Still. In 5 days I go for my initial appointment. Im scared.

How did you go, John?

[@bosslady7611]

Hi John. My husband's name was John too. He passed away from Covid in 2020. Since then, I haven't dated anyone. The grieving process has proven to be even more difficult than I anticipated. I miss him so much. Anyway, I need to move on with my life and start socializing again, but I'm scared to death of dating because of my teeth, or the lack thereof. Like you, I've always had bad teeth, but I was still attractive. I put off removing the few remaining top teeth I had for years. I was comfortable with it because I knew my husband loved me no matter what. But since he died, my confidence has gone downhill. I'm scared that no one will like me because of my dental issues. All of my top teeth were removed in February, and I'm waiting for my top dentures, which should be here within the next week or so. I sometimes feel insecure about my looks, but then there are other days when I feel fabulous and beautiful. I'm 47, and I'm told I look way younger than my actual age. I'm flattered by the compliments, but I hide my smile by wearing a mask when I'm out in public. I'm celibate right now, but I'm open to having fun and/or finding love in the future. But people are so shallow. If you're not a perfect 10, they will shun you for not being the ideal woman and standard of beauty that society thinks you should be. I want to have intimacy and sex someday, too. But I have a lot of trauma, emotional baggage and insecurities that I have to address and heal from before I get involved with someone. Anyway, enough about me. I know I'm 5 months late, but I'm curious to know.....how is your dental journey coming along?

These are such important and deeply personal issues. It is really great of you being brave enough to talk about teeth issues with such candor. My mother had her teeth removed in her 20s. While growing up I can’t remember a single instance of her telling me to brush my teeth. My teeth journey has been long and seldom fun. Here I am now with only two points in my mouth that have opposing teeth with which to chew. So I am trying to navigate what’s next - and of course I’m trying to determine what’s next and how to afford whatever that might be. Thank you so much for the great information. And thank you for your courage in talking about such personal things publicly!

This is encouraging! I get compliments very often on my teeth and when I tell them they’re fake they’re just mind blown.

Hey girls, the vast majority of us men do not mind it at all if you have dentures or implants. At the end of the day, natural teeth can never be truly perfect but when you have dentures or implants you do approach that category. Look at Kristi, her teeth are stunning and she is smiling a lot thanks to it. This gives her more confidence and makes her even more attractive than if she was hiding her smile. Honestly, if I met a girl and she had dentures, it would not diminish her attractiveness in my eyes at all. In fact, I would be curious and find it really cool because her new set of teeth allow her to feel better about herself. Kristi is absolutely correct when she says that you should not date someone who thinks less of you for wearing dentures because that person is just not right for you.

26 here and terrified because I'm most likely going to have at least one tooth (and surely no more than two) root canaled or extracted, I'm not sure which because I haven't seen a dentist yet. 😅 I've been dealing with a reoccurring infection that I'm just barely managing with antibiotics, but thankfully minimal pain, likely because the tooth is slowly dying. Or maybe I'll just be a really lucky case that only needs a root canal and crown, and never deals with this again. 🤣 But if not, a partial denture will suffice.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, you have calmed me down an awful lot. And you look beautiful x

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You have addressed every concern I have had since considering and getting dentures. I have never subscribed to a channel until now. After reading other comments on your videos, I know that I'm not the exception. Did I remember to say THANK YOU? ❤

You have the prettiest dentures I’ve ever seen and you speak amazingly

[@rachels2066]

I had my extractions done today and my dentures put in. I haven't had to think about telling someone I start dating about my dentures yet but, given that I have an artificial eye which I always mention right off the bat I'm sure I'll throw the denture thing in at the same time. I guess I feel like if you can't accept me as I am you are not the person for me! Oddly enough, whenever I have mentioned my eye over the years of dating not one guy has ever had an issue with it...go figure!!

[@mirian6586]

Thank you for this video!!! I’m about to get full mouth extractions and I was self conscious about dentures and how they affect intimacy. I had a bit of anxiety about umm, the oral act after extractions and dentures. You made me feel better about having a conversation with my husband about it.

Hey, Thankyou so much for your great videos, at the ripe age of 47 I had all my teeth out last Friday 04/28/23 and going through the "OMG" stage of "what have I done!" I stumbled across a couple of your posts last night and watching a few more today to get my head round things. My issues are diabetes related and an inherited problem with bone loss in my jaw, its not like I have done this to myself on purpos and getting over the shame of it has taken a bit of time.People have a strange reaction to it and I dont know why, like youre less of a human for having mouth issues and I always get the impression that there is an element of you being slovenly or idle for not brushing or something. CI got my new set of gnashers on Tuesday due to holidays here in the UK so there was a 4 day gap between having the removal and getting my new nibblers so currenty, I'm going through fitting issues but after going again this morning, things are getting better but I'm not out f the woods yet. I have had them in, on and off, for a max of about 4 hours at a time and it's slowly getting better and longer but its not a great transition so I just wanted to say thankyou for restoring my drive and my self esteem through your awesome talks that you give on your channel..........THANKYOU! You're right though it does feel like a couple of hockey pucks in your mouth, a great discription: I referred to it as feeling like Ive got somebody elses teeth in as they feel so weird. I know things will get better and the end result wil be so much easier to live with it just takes time and thats really easy to forget when youre really low and sick of it al going on. Well done and HUGE thankyou again from across the pond, here in the UK. Oh, and just so you know, your yeeth look unbelievable,absolutely gorgeous, well done you. Bestest regards and keep up the inspiring words of wisdom, you dont know just how much you help, but you do..........enormously Big love😊💗

I've stopped dating since I got my dentures. Im terrified he'll feel them in my mouth when we kiss. It's horrible. I feel like such an old lady now. I thought I'd be happier with them, but im not at all, plus they make my mouth look ugly and I don't know what to do.

[@Wendy-Williams-NC]

I was 32 (16 years ago!) when I got dentures. I had a couple of years of dating left in me and YES it horrified me! The worst was when I was serious with someone and we took a weekend vacay. I refused to tell this man I had dentures so I slept in them for 3 nights lol I would go to the bathroom to get ready for bed and take them out, clean them and my mouth and put them right back in with fresh adhesive! When I got up, I'd do the same...Personally, I never had a date figure out I had dentures and I dont think most people will. I mean, its not something they are going to be expecting so unless you want to spill the beans, they are gonna be none the wiser!

I'm 37. I have a partial for my bottom teeth and.... well, we haven't done the top set yet, but there's maybe going to be 2 or 3 teeth left tops, if they even bother. So... this was definitely on my mind. I'll absolutely be checking out more of your channel for tips because I'm so very new to this and it's just... a bit overwhelming. Honestly, I just want the pain to stop. I use far too much ibuprofen and anbesol. But seriously, thank you. So much.

My husband's ex wears full denture. He did admit oral sex was exceptionally good without dentures when I pressed on the topic about his past sex life. Its something i can't give him, but hey, for ladies out there who can give your man that, maybe it will be a whole new experience. On a separate note, she is the only young person i know with full denture, im starting to wonder are there some ppl out there hiding it. Its so important to normalize it as human condition, like aging, having white hair etc. Thanks for being an inspiration.

Off topic - do you feel that having dental implants and dentures negatively effected your face/bone structure at all? You look amazing, seriously. I hear about how having dentures causes bone loss but it doesn’t look like that happened to you.

[@kalinjax]

No because most of my bone loss occurred just from having so much decay. I’m going to post a photo soon of what my ridge looks like. I’ll post it in the community section of my channel.

[@mechanicman8687]

I waited till 57 to have my tops removed and implants. Still struggling with temp dentures. Still sore and uncomfortable. Libido went out the door for now. Life changing for sure. Have to wait at least 6 months for my implants to heal so these dentures are part of my life for now…like mashed potatoes and oatmeal

[@cB-my5db]

Hi, I'm currently in the middle of the same long process of full top implants. It's a very long process,&thank goodness my boyfriend is being patient with me. As for kissing,he wants to,but I'm too embarrassed.(his tongue would be able to feel my prior bare gums/& current outer pieces to second surgical phase of implants, sticking out of gums). I can give him a bj, bc I can use my tongue& lips. I've tried from day one to wear my denture,but,despite the dentist making adjustments, I prefer not to wear it. I know that I'll look younger and have a nice smile when the implant process is complete. I talk clearer@work without my temp denture,&I'm not on the verge of gagging without wearing it,& I hadn't mastered eating with it in yet,&it's not my previous bite! It gives me a major overbite,&it's so wide,&it doesn't meet the few bottom teeth that I have left,so it's much easier to "gum food" with my gums! Besides,I'll have my top implants completed long before I adapt to the temp denture!! When I smile,It's a closed smile,so it's not too bad.😊 At first, I started with protein shakes,& mashed potatoes, & bananas,but I've discovered more foods that I'm able to eat,that taste delicious!😋 & since then, I've gained a total of 11 lbs. between Aug.-now,(currently:April 4th).👍hang in there!!😁👍

[@serenayanez2197]

Hello, just came along your video. I'm 32 and need full upper and bottom dentures. I Still cry today. Not because I'm embaress just to know I'm not going to have teeth. From watching this it gives me confidence. I goon the 21 to get all front top extraction and nerves as he'll. Thanks for this video

[@todddomke58]

OMG when you showed the Wisp Colgate stole that idea from me. Yes i have a patent on a toothbrush. Conversation for another day. Didnt think id ever wear dentures yet alone date someone who does but if i met someone like you id have a hard time saying no. Its been refreshing coming here

[@hannahtolley1793]

I had extractions the day before yesterday, i feel like my dentist was way too rough andd took way too long to get 5 teeth out. it took two hours....i had a partial made 4 months ago and was assured i wouldn't be going without teeth....they told me after pulling MY FRONT TWO TEETH i would have to wait until i'm healed for them to seat my parial in...i went to check out and she said it would be two weeks until they can get me back in. As soon as i'm not in pain and feeling like crap anymore, i'm going down there and demanding my partial....i can't eat, or even speak normally. this isn't where i thought i would be just a couple months after turning 30 :(

I'm getting closer and closer to needing dentures so doing my research now. My heart sank when you talked about spicy foods 😓. I have an appointment tomorrow for yet another broken tooth and pain. have had 4-5 extractions now luckily all in the back but the last xray I had was a 5 or so years ago and the teeth are thinning in the gums so fixing them would be a waste for both me and the dentist honestly since they won't hold long. I'm def nervous and a fellow person with treated anxiety.
