tips for adjusting to dentures

Getting dentures isn't as scary as it may seem. When my dentist told me that the root canals that I had gone through to try to save my upper teeth had failed and that the teeth would have to be removed, I broke down into tears. I couldn't imagine being 35 years old and wearing dentures. I put off getting the procedure done for as long as I could, but eventually, the infections grew to be so bad that I couldn't put it off any longer. I put together this blog to help others adjust to the dentures that were so dreaded but really aren't so bad.
