ABOUT DENTURES AND LOOSE DENTURES
|
There is nothing worse than having loose dentures in your mouth.
Loose dentures will cause sore spots by moving around all the time
and cause your teeth to clack and causing embrassassment to yourself.
If your like most people you will put your dentures up for a day
or so to leave your gums heal up. This is a bad idea, leaving your
dentures out of your mouth for any certain time will cause you to
leave them where there at and more less quit wearing them. This
is especially true for the lower dentures, people just don't like
wearing lower dentures anyway because they don't fit as tight as
the upper dentures. Upper dentures have a roof in your mouth for
suction. Lower dentures just sit on the ridge of lower gum.
If you have loose dentures and are having a problem wearing them you should have it taken care of as soon as possible so you can get back into the routine of wearing your dentures. Then longer you leave your dentures out especially the lower one the harder it is to get back to wearing dentures. So whatever problem your having with your dentures get it fixed as soon as possible.
