Celiac did a number on my teeth, like many of us have happen and I had to have most of my upper teeth pulled a couple weeks ago and now have a temporary partial plate that of course since I am still healing is getting looser and looser. I still have almost 2 months to go before my dentist will make the final plate and need something to keep these temps from slipping that is safe to use. Anyone have any for sure gluten free adhesives that they use and can reccommend? It is so nice not to be in pain constantly anymore but when I smile my teeth slip which is almost as embarrassing as the mess that was in there before the work was done. :o

Thanks so much. The product is even good for folks with dry mouth which is great news as that is one thing that didn't resolve gluten-free. My docs always blamed the dry mouth on all the meds I was on but I have suspected for a long time that it was likely Sjogerns but don't want to bother having them test for it at this point. My dentist said that the dry mouth also contributed to the destruction of my teeth so it was nice to see some other products there specifically for it.

I have SO many teeth problems (many are missing from literally just crumbling out) and many have decay and cavities. I fear dentures. I have a horrible dentist phobia (well I have severe anxiety disorder, so I think it's really the problem). I'm on 31 :( (and no I've never been a drug user as two dentist assumed in my past :( ) I'm glad you were brave enough to fix your teeth problems! :)

I have had a dental phobia for years. What finally got me able to even call another one was a bit of therapy and an antianxiety med. It isnt easy but bad teeth can lead to bad issues elsewhere. Since I had one front tooth that was abcessed and I know that can spread to the brain I decided I just had to go. You might want to check into sedation dentistry if it is available in your area. Basically you go to sleep and you wake up and work is done.

I have to giggle at this subject - only how you talk about it...........lol

I've had dentures since I was 25 - same reason as you.

The best thing I EVER did for myself.

It took 2 visits.......upper first then the lowers

My gums healed and about a month or so later, I got my new smile.

Keep your lips stretched........or you'll walk around with all teeth and no lip as it will relax from not being stretched over teeth.

Use an emery board to smooth out an uncomfortable spot......tight - lump - pressure.......etc.

Do not assume you can eat a steak! lol

You need to learn how to chew with a mouth full of plastic.....and you will bite your cheek and tongue because your new teeth will not feel.

I highly recommend Fixodent! I am not fond of the type with scope in it - but do prefer the plain.

Less is more......More is a mess.

Your bond will be the best bond you've ever had - the other ones don't work nearly as well.

You'll try to yank your teeth out and they won't come out.........until the seal is worn out.

I even wrote the company and they wanted to my doctor to inquire....don't understand that one, but hey, I don't get a reaction.......and I only use the plain.

I also had to have my upper teeth pulled, the lower one's are holding steady for some reason and I still have them. I had to be put out when I had mine pulled also. One for the fear of the dentist the other because my head shake's and they can not work on me when I cant hold still. But I do not use any thing to hold my teeth in. But the thing that drives me nuts the most about them is getting food under them. But I eat almost every thing I want even corn on the cob. Also I use Equate denture cleaner on them. But I dont use it every day, but I do put them in mouth wash and water every night.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
