Question for the guys on kissing a girl with dentures

Hey everyone!

I had all my teeth extracted in March and finally got a pair of immediate dentures. I wear them most of the time but was advised to take them out to eat still as they do shift and don’t fit the best (causing sores on my gums) it’s a whole story and issue we went through to even get here.

My problem I’m having is with dating. I’m young, a 24f and am matching with people on dating apps but I’m so nervous about the kissing aspect as I know the teeth move and I know I can’t even drink liquids without a straw otherwise my teeth move so what happens if I’m kissing someone and it’s bad because my lips aren’t used to the teeth or the teeth completely move.

I’ve tried gluing them but no matter what I do they don’t stick with any adhesive I’ve tried and I’ve basically given up caring about them fitting perfectly since the end goal is fixed implant dentures by the end of this year.

I’m not really worried about the point of disclosing as it all happened because of medical reasons not drugs or ED or anything like that, and honestly it shouldn’t matter at all why anyone does go through this. I think mostly I’m worried about disclosing right away because of the assumptions that can be made as well as the hopes for things to happen (without my teeth in if you get what I mean) as a relationship progresses.

I’ve been told by people at work and friends I hadn’t seen in a while that it’s not noticeable they’re fake which is relieving but still the thoughts are always there.

Any men have some insight on what they’d think or opinions on maybe getting a bad kiss because of dentures? Maybe someone with dentures can give advice even not sure.

Any help at all would be so nice and I’d really appreciate it.
