Day 5 with plastic teeth

The gums are not so tender except one spot. Its actually ABOVE where the teeth would have been. The denture has a spot that rubs more right above where my left upper canine would have been. Its tender and swollen. Other than that so far so good. I have eaten Mac & cheese, Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and pudding. The ONLY thing keeping me from eating more adventurous stuff is that one tender spot. I go Wednesday to get a "re-align". At that time I will bring up that one spot and one other little issue. It appears the way the denture is molded, one side is ever so slightly higher than the other. a soft insert inside the denture will probably fix that.
