How to Handle Uncomfortable Dentures in Carlsbad CA

People who have newly started using dentures can feel some level of initial discomfort and irritation. However, here are some tips new dental denture users can use to get comfortably used to wearing your dentures.

Adjust the Way You Eat

Making small changes in the way you eat can help you relieve discomfort while you get used to your new and Uncomfortable Dentures. You can start with eating soft and non-sticky food and slowly work your way back eating your regular food. Also, try chewing sideways can help you to stabilize your dentures.

You can discuss your diet plan with your dentist in 92011 and prepare and list of things you should and should not eat after getting your new dentures.

Adjust the Way You Chew

Your dentures need to be placed in your cheek muscle and your tongue, but you might need some time to use these muscles to get used to holding your dentures in place. You can opt for using a dental adhesive to ensure that your dentures stay in place.

Discuss the suitable method of chewing with your Carlsbad based dentist to enable you to better adjust to your new, Uncomfortable Dentures.

Give Your Mouth a Rest

You can give your mouth a rest and take your dentures out when you sleep and place your dentures in a denture solution overnight to clean them. This helps in the prevention of harmful bacteria and plaque from building up on your dentures and offer your jaws and gums a chance to rest and recover.
