1 Simple Thing To Do When Your Denture Is Loose.
Have you ever asked yourself “Why is my denture loose?”
Loose dentures can effect your every day life immensely. The best and first thing you should do is speak to a dental prosthetist.
Let the denture professional look at your mouth and your denture and diagnose what might be causing your denture to feel loose in your mouth. There are a surprising number of factors that might be causing your denture to be loose.
There are several common reasons why your denture might be loose, here are few:
Gums and bone shrink as you age. Every individual person does this at their own rate, which means some people might find that their bones and gums shrink faster than others.
If you have had a recent tooth extraction, where you have had rapid bone loss in the first 3 mths;
New dentures can take weeks to get used to while all the muscles in your mouth and cheeks adapt to the new position or shape of your new denture;
Perhaps your dentures are loose and all you need is a reline!
Every denture and person is unique and only a denture professional is qualified to tell you why your denture might be loose and offer you solutions. It is important to know that there are complications as a result of wearing loose dentures for an extended period of time, that may be irreversible.
If you are totally “over it” and you feel like you need to find an alternative to dentures, ask Darius or your dental prosthetist about implant dentures (also known as over dentures). This could be a wonderful solution to your loose denture problem!
