I got dentures about three years ago.   Since then I have changed jobs and did not get dental insurance since I have top and bottom dentures.   I never really gave much thought about having to have the repaired.   Now my top dentures should be relined and my bottom dentures do not seem to fit like they use too.  Getting them repaired without dental insurance is costly to me.   If I get dental insurance now will they pay for them to be relined and repaired.  Or can I just get new dentures?

Getting top and bottom dentures

The dentist says they will look just like regular teeth and that people will not be able to teeth unless I say something.  I and very happy about that because my teeth well have been bad for many years.  I was just wondering how do you keep them clean do you brush them like normal teeth?  Or do you on use denture cleaner in a cup and keep them in that over night?

New teeth how to eat

I will be having my teeth removed in order to get top and bottom dentures.  I wondering about how long will I have pain.  what do can I eat.  Should I get a food processor, blender or juicer?  When can I start eating real food with my dentures?  Any thoughts or information would be good.  This is all new to me.

Can’t feel my mouth

Okay, so I just had a tooth removed at the dentist to day and they numbed up my whole mouth.  The thing is I did not eat before I went to the dentist because I did not want to get sick.  Now I am back home and I am so hungry.

I just got top dentures about three weeks ago,  and now they do not seem to me as if they fit right.  Is this normal ?  Will I have to have them ship out to be adjusted or can they fix it at the dentist office?  I am hoping they can just fix them at the dental office because I would hate to have to go without teeth for who know how long.  Anyone have this problem. This is all new to me.

Dentures are made of acrylic and cannot be reheated in any way to try to reshape them.  If you try to do that you will ruin them.  A dentist will be able to correct your dentures so please do not boil  or cook them.

Will my dentist and I be able to choose the specialist?

Some plans limit referrals to specialists. Your dentist may be required to refer you to a limited selection of specialists who have contracted with the plan’s third party. You also may be required to get permission from the plan administrator before being referred to a specialist. If you choose a plan with these limitations, make sure qualified specialists are available in your area. Look for a plan with a broad selection of different types of specialists.

What routine corrective treatment is covered by the dental plan? What share of the costs will be yours? While preventive care lessens the risk of serious dental disease, additional treatment may be required to ensure optimal health. A broad range of treatment can be defined as routine. Most plans cover 70 percent to 80 percent of such treatment. Patients are responsible for the remaining costs.

What do you look for in choosing a dental insurance plan?

Does the plan give you the freedom to choose your own dentist or are you restricted to a panel of dentists selected by the insurance company? If you have a family dentist with whom you are satisfied, consider the effects changing dentists will have on the quality or quantity of care you receive. Because regular visits to the dentist reduce the likelihood of developing serious dental disease, it’s best to have and maintain an established relationship with a dentist you trust

I could not find out anything on denture adhesive causing a acne breakout. However, this is not to say that it is not causing you this issue.  Maybe you are having a bad reaction to it.  Try changing brand names of the  denture adhesive that you are using.   Also keep in mind that the acne you are getting has nothing to do whit the denture adhesive.
