More Would I Regret This... I had a tooth out today and a denture put in, it will be 6 months until I could (medically? dentally?) get an implant instead and if I didn't have the denture then teeth might move over the 6 months so I couldn't get an implant. I don't feel like an implant is a good use of our savings in the next couple of years, we could pay for it if we decide to but it would be better to wait a few years or not get it at all.
The denture is just so uncomfortable, I haven't been able to eat, and I'm not supposed to take it out until tomorrow night, then I'm supposed to wear it every day after that. For 6 whole months, or longer. It isn't just the pain from the ex tooth hole, but the plastic thing in the roof of my mouth feels scratchy below, the hook by my tooth is awkward and the whole thing is alien. DH thinks I should wear it a few weeks at least to keep the option open of an implant, but I'm breastfeeding, how can I breastfeed with no food for even a few weeks? If I take it out then the hole will bleed more, but I could eat and start just getting used to the gap. AIBU to just pull the nasty thing out?
