I just have to say thanks to the many many people who have shared their tips, tricks, advice and experiences around this entire process.
I am on day 12 post extractions (all of my uppers and 3 on the bottom, so I still have 8 on the bottom yay!) And have immediate denture for the top. And honestly, the amount of insight I found here has helped soooo much. I am a planner and like to prepare for everything so reading some of your time lines and denture journeys helped ease anxiety and gave me at times more information than either my dentist or oral surgeon.
To those who suggested Benzodent- Amazing! I'd been having a few horribly sore spots the past few days or so and it has been wonderful. I have another check in for adjustments and hopefully reline in a couple days.
One of my biggest takeaways is to be patient. We all have different situations, different health levels and healing but hopefully with very similar end results.
