Getting dentures for the first time can be a life-changing event for people who have struggled with eating or speaking for a significant period of time. While it is nice to have a set of dentures, Hudson residents should know that they have to take care of them unless they want to pay for another set in the future. There are many reasons why a patient may ask their dental professional about a new set of dentures for themselves, but some reasons are much more common than others. Here are some of the popular reasons why a person may need to get a new set of dentures for themselves.
Dentures That Don’t Fit Properly
Having a set of dentures in your mouth is something that should fit and feel pretty tight in your mouth. They should not feel loose, or fall out from time to time and if they do, this is a good sign to talk to your dental professional about new dentures. Hudson residents should be made aware that a good pair of dentures will stay in place comfortably while they are chewing food or speaking to someone. If your dentures feel loose, they may need a simple adjustment in order to work as they should, but they could need a whole new pair all together.
Dentures Causing Gum Issues and Discomfort
If the dentures are in good shape and fit properly into someone’s mouth, they should not feel uncomfortable or harm the different parts of your mouth, like your gums. If you are someone who wears dentures, Hudson residents should know that there should be no pain or discomfort when you are chewing food or taking a bite. This is a good sign that something is wrong with your dentures. Most of the time it is a sizing issue that causes people pain or discomfort, and if this is the case, they may need a new set of dentures to fix the issue.
