29. I did that before, when they yanked out 21, but left in 6.

woke up after surgery with the dentures in my mouth, told not to take them out for two weeks to protect the healing of the gums.

Within a month I had problems, jaw aches after chewing for five minutes or so.

I'm a very slow eater, masticate until everything is well liquefied.

Had the dentures reworked twice, they even gave me problems when not eating, top plate tickling the back of my throat and I would literally gag them out of my mouth.

Out of the bottom 6, only 2 remain above the gum line - others are infected and will not be easy to remove, seeing as 4 have nothing to grab onto above the gum line.

I know from my own research, your advice is good -

Unfortunately, I have a busy schedule with other matters, and do not have the time to travel where I can get superior dental care.

I want these infected teeth out now.

And will travel in the future to get the dental care I want regarding replacement, not available near where I am living now.

I appreciate your advice, it is well founded, not just by your personal experience, but also by many articles on-line.

Thank you for you input - I hope others benefit from it.
