yes i need dentures but im so scared of the impressions and after what if they won;t come out once u put them?

Answer 1

One of the trick of the trade when taking impressions, is try to have the patient breathe through their nose and tip their head forward slightly. This helps to alleviate the gag reflex. Another trick is to have the patient lift their left leg slightly and hold it. While they are concentrating on holding the leg up, they are not thinking about the tray in their mouth.
Impressions never get stuck permanently, the suction can be released by the dentist (or assistant) when the tray is tipped to the side. They do this by using an index finger right around the cuspid/bicuspid area(or further back depending on access) and pulling down (for the upper impressions only). Lower impressions simply lift out.
Good luck and try to relax

Answer 2

Please try to relax about the whole thing.

Taking impressions is a bit unpleasant because of the texture and feeling of the "plaster". You might gag, but you won't vomit. It only lasts a couple minutes. Breathe deep and try to think of something pleasant - like the beach, or whatever.

Uh, they will come out when you want them to (trust me on this one). If it is difficult for you at first, try puckering up cheeks with breath and blowing.


Thin about how great your new smile will be!!!!

BELIEVE ME, THEY WILL COME OUT. SOMETIMES AT THE WORST OF TIMES.
THE TOP IS USUALLY RELATIVELY SECURE WHILE THE BOTTOM CAN BE DIFFICULT TO RETAIN.
