I'm still having a little problem with the lower dentures. Two spots on my lower gums have protrusions, natural shape of my jaw. When I wear the lower dentures, it rubs sores on those spots. Seems to be getting better. The swelling hasn't completely resolved but it's only been too weeks since teeth were pulled. Tissue still filling in.
I'll still keep wearing the lower dentures to eat and for shorter periods than the uppers. If the problem continues I'll make an appointment in Jan to have adjustments made. I would prefer waiting until later, then just get any adjustments needed to the next, more permanent set of dentures. By then my gums will be fully healed and no swelling left. I still have problems chewing. The dentures don't meet as flatly as I expected. The lower ones are tilted inward, so only the outer edges meet the uppers. That's something to get corrected with any later dentures. That's the dentures, not my jaw shape.
Took the turkey out of the oven last night and put it back in this morning, along with the stuffing. Should be almost done by the time daughter and I get back after I pick her up. Then just have to make a few smaller things.
