What are the dangers of having dentures?

As people's demand for food grows more and more in modern society, many friends will search for various foods in their spare time at work to satisfy their appetite. Although this can satisfy our friends' mouths, it is painful for our teeth. In severe cases, it can cause tooth loss, so it is necessary to install dentures. So what are the dangers of having dentures? Regarding this question, please join me in taking a look at it in the next period of time.

Although fixed dentures can restore the anatomical morphology and physiological characteristics of missing teeth, the height and width of the adjacent contact points of fixed dentures are not suitable, resulting in poor contact with the adjacent surfaces of the remaining teeth, which may cause food impaction. If the contact position between the fixed denture and the adjacent teeth is incorrect, but the fixed denture is movable, it can be adjusted by trying it in the mouth and checking the tightness of the contact points. Generally, it is considered appropriate when dental floss cannot pass through easily. Secondly, the edges of fixed dentures are not aligned with the gingival margin, which damages the gingival epithelial tissue and easily leads to gingivitis or periodontal disease, so timely medical treatment is required. Dental implants are relatively stable and are currently widely used, but they need to be selected based on individual needs.

Traditional fixed dentures require the two teeth next to the missing teeth area to be ground down first to serve as pillars for stabilizing the braces so that the denture will be firm. Removable dentures require a large base plate as a base, which makes people feel uncomfortable and as if there is a foreign body.

If there are symptoms on teeth adjacent to fixed dentures, they must be treated promptly to avoid damage to the fixed dentures. Pay attention to brushing your teeth carefully and thoroughly remove the dirt on the surface of the dentures. Clean your teeth regularly, at least once or twice a year, and ask your dentist to polish the edges of your denture gums after cleaning to reduce the adhesion of plaque and tartar.

Patients also need to pay attention to the use of fixed dentures. Patients with porcelain teeth on the front should try to avoid chewing, biting, and tearing hard food and prevent trauma. Patients with porcelain teeth on the back should also avoid chewing hard food to prevent the porcelain teeth from cracking.

The above paragraphs have revealed to us the various dangers of having dentures. I believe that as long as friends have read the above content carefully, they will have a deeper understanding and cognition of these dangers. Here I also hope that my friends can be more vigilant and pay more attention, and reduce the chance of installing dentures to a minimum in daily life. It is best to keep our original teeth.
