Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 OK, I have a question. My husband recently got full dentures. As soon as the old ones were pulled, the surgeon put the new ones in - before he even left the office. Did you have to wait because you are a diabetic and they wanted more healing? I am just curious Carole OT-finally getting my teeth! Hi All, For those who know me, I had my teeth(or what was left of them..lol) all pulled out in January. The 6 weeks I had to wait for my gums to be healed is long past~ I am finally gonna get my final dentures NEXT Friday!! I m so excited. I can finally eat more on plan! and get back to the OLD me! Salad bar @ s here I come!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Oh wow! I never thought about the fact it could take that long from the time they are all pulled out to dentures! Dang! That would be no fun at all! I love steak! LOL. I am very happy for you you are finally gonna get dentures! I suspect I'm headed the same direction in the next few years. I may still have time to prevent the inevitable for a period of time. Anyway, congrats on the dentures arriving next friday! Ken GreyEagle -- OT-finally getting my teeth!

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 I heard the same thing so when I went to the dentist last month I asked him. It doesn't affect the teeth but it can affect the blood supply to the gums and it can affect the bone tissue. Another good reason to keep tight control of our BGs. Carole RE: OT-finally getting my teeth! I have heard that getting diabetes can speed up the process of loosing your teeth....is that true? maralee ****I know I m sure looking forward to it~~ ****My teeth have been crumbling for yrs * Diabetes homepage: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/diabetes/ To unsubscribe to this group, send an email to: diabetes-unsubscribe Hope you come back soon!
