I don't post often, but I do have experience on this one. When I was diagnosed, they told me they were going to operate to remove my tonsils and that at the same time, that they were going to pull all of my teeth due to gum/teeth issues. This was on a Thursday and they were going to operate on the following Tuesday. I told my surgeon that there was no way I was going to let him pull my teeth until I talked to a dentist. He referred me to a dentist that works with several OC patients. I met with him on Friday and he agreed with my surgeon. But he also made the mold for my dentures. They were ready for me once I finished radiation and my mouth had healed. It took a long time for me to be able to wear them without any pain. But I can happliy say that I love them and have been wearing them constantly for a year and a half now. I say give it a try!!

I also have to tell you how wonderful my dentist is!! My surgeon called him ahead of my appointment and told him I was a nice lady with no insurance or money and to see what he could do for me. My dentist told me he could make me "economy" dentures (all I could think of was George Washington's wooden teeth)!! I have to tell you...these are not "economy" dentures!!! My dentist and surgeon are two of the kindest, most caring men I have ever met!! Good luck!
