  1. Common But Temporary Denture Problems

  2. Dentures are a common solution for individuals who have lost their natural teeth.

  3. However, like any dental appliance, dentures can sometimes present temporary problems that need to be addressed.

  4. Denture Problems and Resolutions

  5. Soreness & Irritation

  6. One of the most common temporary problems associated with dentures is soreness and irritation in the gums.

  7. Using denture adhesive as recommended by a dentist & practicing good oral can help alleviate the soreness.

  8. Difficulty Speaking

  9. Adjusting new dentures can lead to temporary difficulties in speaking clearly as they take up space in mouth.

  10. Reading aloud, speaking slowly & enunciating words, and practicing tongue exercises can help the muscles adapt & restore normal speech patterns.

  11. Difficulty Eating

  12. Initially, individuals may find it difficult to chew certain foods or experience a loss of taste sensation.

  13. Chewing eventually on both sides of the mouth & taking smaller bites can also make the eating process more comfortable.

  14. Excessive Salivation

  15. Some denture wearers may notice an increase in saliva production initially, leading to excessive salivation.

  16. Over time, the salivary glands will adjust, and the production of saliva will return to normal.

  17. Denture Slippage

  18. Denture slippage occurs when the dentures do not fit properly or are not securely held in place.

  19. If dentures slip, it may be necessary to visit a dentist for adjustment or relining.

  20. Gum & Mouth Infections

  21. If dentures are not cleaned properly, bacteria and fungi can buildup, leading to infections such as oral thrush or gum disease.

  22. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, including brushing the dentures, rinsing the mouth regularly & cleaning the dentures can help.

  23. Changes in Taste & Sensation

  24. Some denture wearers may experience temporary changes in taste perception or diminished sensation in the mouth.

  25. In most cases these changes are temporary and will resolve as the individual adjusts to wearing dentures.

  26. Provide Your Dentures With the Right Adjustments and Care

  27. Most of these temporary denture problems can be overcome with time, practice, and proper care.

  28. If any of these problems persist or worsen, it is essential to consult a dental professional for guidance & support.
