With dentures, you can speak, smile, and eat normally despite not having your natural teeth. While dentures are convenient and functional, they only work well when they are comfortable. Learning how to care for dentures is essential to their longevity and continuing effectiveness.
Dentures will prevent the face from sagging by providing the necessary structure your mouth needs after losing teeth. If your dentures are not removed and cleaned frequently, they can cause a variety of oral health problems.
Oral problems associated with the use of dentures are often related to particle buildup. When you eat, food particles adhere to certain parts of the denture. Accumulated food leads to bad breath and inflammation of the oral tissue. When tough-to-remove particles collect in the area between the dentures and the gums, it attracts bacteria. Bacteria cause inflammation of the gums and surrounding tissues. This inflammation may develop into periodontal gum disease or mouth sores, also known as denture stomatitis.
Denture complications can be avoided through proper care. Try these seven tips to keep your dentures clean!
It’s important to keep seeing your dentist on a regular basis, even if you no longer have your natural teeth. These visits allow the dentist to show you how to care for your dentures, monitor your oral health, and provide treatment if inflammation occurs in the gums. Prompt treatment will prevent these incipient conditions from becoming painful and costly.
We recommend dental checkups every six months for our patients with dentures. These checkups will help us to guarantee the longevity of each denture we craft. Dentures can lose their fit with daily use, but we can restore them at your next dental visit.
