If you have missing teeth, then one of your best restoration options is dentures<\/a>. Not only are they convenient and provide the support your mouth needs, but they\u2019re also easy to maintain! While they can last you up to seven years with proper care, you\u2019ll have to get new ones if you experience certain issues. Keep reading to learn the four signs that you should replace your dentures right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: Speaking Clearly Is Becoming Difficult<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you first start wearing your new dentures, you\u2019ll have to practice being able to talk again. While this can be challenging, most patients become accustomed over time. However, if you begin having difficulty speaking clearly with your dentures, this could mean they\u2019re becoming loose. You should see your dentist in case they can adjust them, or if they\u2019ll need to be replaced altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Your Dentures Have Been Damaged or Discolored<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you clean your dentures every day as recommended, they can still become yellowed over time. Visiting your dentist regularly for a professional cleaning can help you avoid this, but sometimes they could be too far discolored and would need replacement. Also, if you notice any damages like cracks or chips on your dentures, you should definitely get them replaced immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Your Dentures Feel Loose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your new restorations will typically stay in place by the tight fit and suction with your gum line. As soon as you start to feel like they\u2019re becoming loose, this is a major sign that they might be ill-fitted and will need adjustments or replacement. In the meantime, you could try applying denture adhesive to temporarily keep them from moving much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Discomfort in Your Gum Tissue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As with most health conditions, if you feel discomfort anywhere at any time, you should seek care as soon as possible. When it comes to your dentures, feeling tenderness could mean your restorations are irritating or causing harm to your gum tissue. This can either happen while eating, talking, or simply wearing them. Should you notice any lesions or sores on your gums, you\u2019ll need to visit your dentist right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know the signs for replacing your dentures, you can feel more prepared for when something comes up. And after getting the necessary dental care, you\u2019ll be able to continue enjoying your fully restored smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
