If you have experienced significant tooth loss<\/a> in the past, dentures are a great, tried and tested way to restore the appearance and function of your smile. However, if you\u2019ve never worn dentures before, they can take some time to get used to. It can take several weeks before they begin to feel like a part of your mouth. Read on to learn some tips to make the process go smoothly after you get your new prosthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Speaking with Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It can be difficult and frustrating when you first try to talk while wearing your dentures. Since your mouth and tongue are not yet used to your prosthetic being there, it is easy to mess up words, making it more challenging to speak clearly. The good news is that your mouth will adjust relatively quickly. A great way to speed this process up is to read aloud. This will give you\u2019re the opportunity to practice a wide range of vocabulary and unique sounds. Then, you will be talking just like you used to if now even better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chewing with Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Learning how to eat when you are wearing dentures can take some time. Your new dentures will reestablish your facial dimensions and prop your jaw into the correct position. These both make chewing easier. As you adjust to your dentures, it is best to cut your food up into smaller bites. Choose soft foods that are easy to chew. Chew on both the right and left sides of your mouth simultaneously and avoid biting down on pieces of food using your front teeth. As you grow more comfortable with your dentures, you can start incorporating tougher foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handing Soreness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After you first get your dentures, it is common to experience some soreness. This is because the dentures put pressure on new regions of your gums. This should subside after a few days. If discomfort doesn\u2019t lessen, give your dentist a call to let them know what\u2019s going on. They can give you further advice from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denture Wear Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone\u2019s case is a little bit different, but it is usually recommended that new denture wearers wear their dentures at all times for the first 24-48 hours after getting them. They should only be removed for cleaning. After this, the dentures should be removed at night when you sleep. This allows for increased circulation to the gum tissue, giving them a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dentures take some time to adjust to, but don\u2019t get discouraged. With a little bit of time and practice, you will be showing of your complete smile with pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
