What are the harms of dentures to the body

Many people have experienced oral problems, especially when teeth fall out or break, they will install dentures to replace them. Many people think that there will be no problems with dentures after installation and they can eat normally. As a result, some people do not pay attention to oral hygiene, which can easily lead to problems with dentures and cause unnecessary harm to the body. Let's learn about the harm of dentures to the body.

What are the harms of dentures to the body

1. There is a feeling of foreign body. Because traditional dentures need adjacent teeth to fix them, and removable dentures also need a large base as a support, many people always feel that there is something in their mouth and feel uncomfortable.

2. Difficult to clean. The metal hooks of traditional dentures are easily caught by food residues, which is inconvenient to clean. At the same time, if traditional dentures are worn for a long time, the metal hooks will be exposed, which is not aesthetically pleasing.

3. Dentures cannot be soaked in boiling water or alcohol. Because these dentures are mostly made of plastic, they easily react chemically with alcohol, causing the dentures to age and deform. Take out your dentures before going to bed at night and soak them in denture cleaning solution or cold water.

4. The chewing function will be relatively weak. Here we take a full mouth of teeth as an example. When all the teeth are missing, full dentures need to be made, so the dentures can only rely on the dental tissue of the gums for support, which makes the teeth extremely loose and the chewing force is insufficient. Generally, patients dare not eat slightly hard food, and the alveolar bone is prone to atrophy.

The above is an introduction to the harm of dentures to the body. After understanding it, we know that dentures can also cause certain harm to the body. For example, if we do not pay attention to oral hygiene, it can easily cause oral inflammation and other phenomena. If we pay attention to oral hygiene and do not eat too hard food, we can also reduce the harm to the body.
