What should I do if my dentures are uncomfortable

In our lives, we see that many elderly people always lose their entire mouth’s worth of teeth due to age. This will seriously affect their daily diet and sometimes increase the burden on their stomach and intestines. They have to install dentures to alleviate this phenomenon. However, many elderly people always feel particularly uncomfortable after wearing dentures, and even worry that it is a problem with the material of the teeth. Let’s learn about what to do if dentures are uncomfortable.

What to do if your dentures are uncomfortable

What should you do if your dentures are uncomfortable to wear? Recently, many beauty lovers have reported that they were very uncomfortable and not used to wearing dentures at the beginning. So is there any effective way to alleviate this discomfort? When you first wear dentures, your mouth will mistake the dentures for food in your mouth, and then produce saliva to help digest it. This situation will continue until the mouth adapts to the presence of the dentures. This is all very normal and there is no need to worry. During this period, keeping a piece of candy in your mouth can encourage you to swallow frequently to eliminate excess saliva. For the elderly who have chronic diseases and cannot consume too much sugar, they can put a small date in their mouth, which can also achieve satisfactory results.

In addition, when elderly people who have just worn dentures eat, it is best to use force on both sides of the teeth at the same time. The dentures should be cleaned every night and soaked in cold water. Both fixed and removable dentures have some of these problems, which will gradually get better with wearing for a long time. If you want better results, the best way is to use dental implant technology.

In fact, dental implants, also known as artificial dental implants, are not really natural teeth. Dental implants are made through medical methods. Pure titanium metal with high compatibility with human bone is precisely designed and manufactured into a cylinder or other shape similar to a tooth root. It is implanted into the alveolar bone of the edentulous area through a minor surgical operation. After 1 to 3 months, when the artificial root is tightly integrated with the alveolar bone, a beautiful crown is made on the artificial root. Because they are non-destructive, dental implants have been recognized by the oral medicine community as the preferred method of restoring missing teeth. Dental implants are called "the third set of teeth for humans" because they are deeply implanted in the tooth bone and can withstand normal chewing force. They are almost the same as natural teeth in appearance and function.

The above is an introduction to what to do if dentures are uncomfortable. After understanding it, we know that once dentures are uncomfortable, we must pay special attention to them in our daily lives. First of all, do not use dentures too hard when eating, and do not always bite too hard food. Once the teeth are uncomfortable, you can supplement vitamin C appropriately, or go to the hospital for examination.
