I already had full dentures--lost all my teeth in late teens after being treated with huge doses of sulphonamides for pneumonia and whooping cough over a 4-month period. They all just crumbled!
So although I don't have the worries of having/not having teeth pulled, when pain and swelling is bad, I never leave the house if I can't get my dentures in!
