My wife and i got our teeth pulled last august. we got temporary teeth the same day. even with adjustments and plenty of dental glue they float out. so we can only eat with our gums. as it has been almost a year has it caused gum damage ?

When teeth are removed the supporting bone dissolves away. Dentures have not changed, your gums have. See your Dentist about a reline. You may also want to consider seeing a specialist Prosthodontist about implant supported dentures.

AFTER MULTIPLE EXTRACTIONS YOUR GUMS AND BONE SHRINK OVER TIME AND YOUR DENTURES LOOSEN UP. YOU NEED A RELINE OF YOUR DENTURES WHICH FILL IN THE SHRINKAGE SEE YOUR DENTIST NOW BECAUSE IT WILL LOOSEN UP EVEN MORE.
