Denture Problems



Denture Problems


Many people with severe tooth loss need dentures to properly function in day-to-day life. However, these same dentures can also cause wearers problems, making their lives that much harder. Many denture wearers experience pain, trouble talking or eating, and difficulty moving their mouth. Others have problems with their dentures fitting properly. Unfortunately, some of these issues may result in dissatisfying consequences. For example, certain foods may never make it onto their menu again. However, take comfort, most of these issues do have solutions.

Pain generally peaks during two periods. First, dentures may initially cause pain because the wearer is not used to the fit. Secondly, pain can emerge a few years later when the dentures no longer fit properly. For the latter problem, the wearer needs to go to the dentist and get the dentures relined. For the former, the user needs to be patient. The pain should lessen once his or her mouth gets used to the dentures. Also, the wearer should talk to his or her doctor and research home remedies for this pain.

Troubles eating, talking, and difficulty with moving the mouth usually result from three causes: the first few days when the wearer needs to get used to the dentures, from a need to get the dentures relined, or from a poor fit. For any of these problems, the denture user should talk to his or her doctor immediately.
