Three Most Common Questions from Patients Getting New Dentures
Posted on 6/15/2018 by Dr. Frank Sallustio
Getting a denture from a prosthodontist is a good idea if some of your teeth are starting to decay, or due to an injury or any other reason you will not have a mouth with a complete set of full teeth.
Any kind of space between your teeth can cause a lot of unwanted side effects, starting from an imbalanced jaw and facial structure to gum diseases due to food particles and bacteria entering your gums.
Once you have a denture, there are some important things that you need to know so that your dentures may last a long time.
Three Things That You Need to Know
It is normal for you to get a sore mouth and even some swelling. The good thing about it is that the adjustment is relatively short, around two weeks at most. You do not need to go to a dental clinic a day or two after the procedure because of the pain since swelling or soreness is expected and is very much normal.
Taking proper care of your dentures means having to go through a new set of activities. Most dentures are made of plastic and may require a different formula for the toothpaste or the mouth rinse.
Make sure to ask your dental service provider about the recommended products and also what kind of hygienic activities should be done to ensure that your denture would last a long time. You do not need to wear the denture 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In fact, it is highly recommended that you take out your dentures when you go to sleep and have the dentures be drenched in a special liquid formula so that the denture would remain strong.
