Typical Denture Problems And How Countryside Smiles Can Treat Them

While modern dentures are superior to many of the examples that have occurred over the years, it’s still possible for them to develop problems. Thankfully, these problems occur less frequently and can be addressed with minimal complications. When enjoying the benefits of beautiful dentures, pay attention if any of the following problems develop.

• Halitosis – Dentures need to be kept up and cleaned nightly. Without consistent hygiene, the bacteria responsible for tooth decay can accumulate and cause bad breath. You can avoid this by ensuring to clean your dentures regularly by following the instructions provided by our team.
• Dry Mouth – Dry mouth is a problem that denture wearers often experience and can have consequences if left unmanaged. It can aggravate halitosis and promote the decay of remaining teeth. Our team of experts can provide options for addressing dry mouth, but it starts by ensuring you stay properly hydrated.
• Difficulty Chewing – Properly fitted dentures should provide a natural chewing and speaking experience. While new denture wearers may experience some difficulty for a short time, it should become easier as they get used to them. If you’ve been wearing dentures for a while and are finding new difficulties with chewing and speaking, come in to have your dentures checked.
