Denture Care

As we age, our dental health can become increasingly challenging to maintain. Dentures offer a practical solution for elderly individuals who may have lost natural teeth due to aging, decay, or other oral health issues.

Benefits of Dentures:

  • Improved Chewing Ability: Dentures restore the ability to chew foods effectively, ensuring proper nutrition and enjoyment of meals.

  • Enhanced Speech: Missing teeth can affect speech clarity. Dentures help articulate words properly, facilitating clearer communication.

  • Boosted Confidence: Aesthetic concerns over missing teeth are addressed, allowing individuals to regain a natural-looking smile and feel confident in social interactions.

Denture Problems:

Denture problems can be quite common and can range from minor annoyances to significant issues affecting daily life. Here are some common denture problems and solutions:
Poor Fit or Loose Dentures:
Dentures that don’t fit properly can cause discomfort, difficulty speaking, and chewing problems.

Sore Spots or Irritation:
New dentures or poorly fitted dentures can cause sore spots or irritation on your gums.

Difficulty Eating Certain Foods:
Dentures can make it challenging to eat certain foods, especially hard or sticky items.

Speech Problems:
Dentures can affect your speech initially, causing lisping or slurring of words.

Bad Breath:
Poorly cleaned dentures can harbor bacteria, leading to bad breath.

Breakage or Damage:
Dentures can break or become damaged, especially if dropped.

Changes in Jawbone or Gum Tissue:
Over time, the jawbone and gum tissue can change shape, causing dentures to become loose.

Discomfort from Adhesives:
Some people experience discomfort from denture adhesives.

Care and Maintenance:

Proper care is essential to maintain the longevity and effectiveness of dentures:

  • Daily Cleaning: Dentures should be brushed with a soft-bristled brush and mild cleanser to remove food particles and plaque.

  • Regular Check-ups: Visiting the dentist ensures dentures fit well and oral health is monitored.

  • Handling with Care: Dentures are fragile; handle them over a soft surface to avoid damage if dropped.
