Dentures!!

DH lost one of his front teeth in a cycling accident and he never did get used to it, left the denture out and over time the gap closed up.

Yes, it will get better. I've had two false front teeth for many years after the crowns I had originally couldn't be replaced and although I did struggle for a while with both eating and talking, I soon got used to them.

jingl's right, you don't need those front teeth as much as you think you do to eat with, you will naturally adapt. Good luck!

Thank you jingl, it's been a long 15 months!
I'm really looking forward to when I can eat crunchy food again and enjoy a steak!

loopylou that sounds horrible. Hope yours is all better soon.

Oh Qrooq! I think it will get better. It's bound to feel odd at first. Just keep reminding yourself you don't really need your front teeth to chew. Try to munch merrily away like you have always done. Carry on enjoying your food. it will feel normal again soon

Dentists usually offer alternatives to removing a tooth especially as its a front tooth. I guess thats neither here nor there as its already done..
It will get easier Qrooq you have to persevere.. OH had a denture fitted and it took him a while to be able to eat with it but now he is much more comfortable with it.

I'm in a similar situation Qrooq, I've had 6 teeth out and a 7th is being extracted Friday, all molars but I do have an upper denture including a front tooth.
I too am finding it difficult to eat but it is improving and I hope that when I get my lower denture then things will improve.
Mine were all due to one infection spreading along my jaw, not funny.
Good luck!
