13 teeth extracted yesterday, dentures will not stay in
I had 13 teeth extracted yesterday and was given immediate dentures. I was instructed to keep the dentures in for the first 24 hours, but they keep moving around and falling out. When they shift, they rub against the extraction sites and it’s pretty painful.
I called the dental office and the receptionist said that since I don’t have stitches, it would be okay to use Fixodent. But when I look online, a lot of sources say not to use denture adhesive so soon after extractions.
Has anyone else dealt with this? Did you use adhesive the first day, or is there something else that helped keep the dentures in place without irritating the extraction sites?
