Eating and Speaking with Dentures

To speak and eat comfortably wearing dentures requires patience, practice, and proper care. Performing daily activities with new dentures can be more challenging than you realize. We advise patients to practice pronouncing words that are difficult to pronounce quickly and take them slowly. It may take some time and practice, but eventually, you can speak without difficulty. When eating with dentures, the patient must start eating softer foods for the first few days. Avoid certain foods for the time being if they experience any pain when eating them. You can chew on both sides of the mouth to prevent the dentures from moving forward uncomfortably.

Over Time, Dentures Become Loose

Our office can assist you with professional adjustment of dental fixtures. The gums and bones will change over time, causing dentures to loosen. Since there are no longer teeth within the jawbone to stimulate the jaw and the body that teeth are still there, the body will undergo a process known as resorption. Here, it transfers calcium from the jawbone to other body areas. We can adjust, modify, or replace dentures as necessary during regular appointments. Sometimes, loose dentures will appear as a slight shift that the patient might not notice. However, to fix slightly loose dentures, contact our office for repairs.

Traveling Places with Dentures on

Make sure you have the right cleaning supplies on hand when you step out of your home. It is essential to have the proper cleaning tools on a trip, even if you are not carrying a traveling case for taking your dentures on a flight or car ride. Traveling with dentures can be easy if one brings the proper cleaning fluid and container/glass to soak the denture overnight. In addition, we recommend patients carry toothbrushes to clean their dentures while on vacation.
