Like to go without dentures

Many people wear dentures but like to go without them. Some don't want to be seen without their teeth, either by family members or the general public. Many of us like the feeling of empty gums, but don't want to have others see us. If you have dentures, do like to be seen while toothless?

I knew at the age of 14 that I wanted dentures. Well, it took me a good while to get them, but it was worth the wait. I have to wear dentures for business reasons,and they fit well, but there is nothing like going without,which I do whenever I can. And there is nothing like eating ice cream without my dentures.

@Leeseeker I'm in the same boat as you. I wore mine for work as well as at home, because my wife doesn't like to see me without them. I have always taken them out at night, and I like to take breaks during the day for gummy breaks. I used to do that in the late afternoon, after everyone was gone, and I was still working. The lady wor cleaned our office was going through the process of getting dentures, and we used to talk about it. I know that there are a lot of people who have wanted dentures or to be toothless since they were young. What made you want dentures at the age of 14?
