What are the precautions for wearing dentures

Dental problems are a common phenomenon in our lives, which often bring great inconvenience to our normal life and diet. Many people wear dentures to alleviate dental problems, but many people think that dentures do not need to be paid attention to because they have no vitality. This often leads to periodontitis, which is particularly detrimental to health. Let's take a look at the precautions for wearing dentures.

What are the precautions for wearing dentures?

It is inconvenient to speak after wearing teeth. It is more common in people with missing front teeth or those with complete dentures. Generally, there is no need to rush to make changes. Just keep trying as much as possible. You will gradually get used to it after a period of time. If you find it inconvenient to speak for a long time, you should check and deal with it.

Dentures are not stable. People who wear complete dentures often have them fall out when they talk, open their mouths wide, or chew food. People who are wearing dentures for the first time may easily cause the dentures to slip because their tongue and rib muscles are not adapted and they do not coordinate well during activities. After wearing it for a period of time, the oral tissues and surrounding muscles are trained to a certain extent, and most people can adapt to it. If the denture remains unstable for a long time and you cannot chew food, you should see a doctor immediately to repair or redo it.

To protect dentures, you should pay attention to the following:

1. Don't bite hard food. In particular, some dentures are made of hard plastic, which are brittle and easy to break. When you first wear them, you should start with small pieces of soft food and gradually transition to normal food. Do not rush to eat some hard food when you first wear them, so as to avoid damage to the dentures, oral mucosa, and abutment teeth.

2. Pay attention to oral hygiene. Take out your dentures and clean them after every meal before putting them back on. If you cannot brush after every meal, at least brush carefully before going to bed at night. You can use toothpaste to wash, but do not use alcohol or boiling water, as this will deform the dentures.

3. Before going to bed at night, you should take off your dentures, wash them and soak them in a cup of cold water. This can prevent the dentures from deforming and allow the oral mucosa to get proper rest.

The above is an introduction to the precautions for wearing dentures. After understanding it, we know that when wearing dentures, we must pay attention to maintaining good oral hygiene, and we cannot eat too hard food. Once the dentures are loose or uncomfortable, we must consult a doctor in time.
