Dentures<\/a> are a viable and convenient way to replace missing teeth. Not only can they support your jaw and face, but they\u2019ll boost your confidence in your smile again! That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to ensure that they\u2019re placed perfectly in your mouth. Keep reading to learn several complications that can be caused by ill-fitting dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: Trouble Talking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being able to speak clearly while wearing dentures is crucial for your mental health. While it can be challenging to learn how to talk with your restorations, it becomes even more difficult if they constantly move or shift out of place. The longer this continues, the more embarrassing it can feel during social interactions when speaking is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Eating Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only can ill-fitting dentures move around too much, but they can also cause discomfort when trying to eat a meal. This can make it tricky to maintain a healthy diet while also enjoying your food. Food particles might also get stuck between your dentures and gums, which can increase your risk of infection and gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Sore Gum Tissues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your dentures shift out of place often, they can cause unnecessary friction and pressure against your gums. Over time, this can cause your tissues to swell and become irritated, making your gum line more vulnerable to injuries and sensitivity. This is especially uncomfortable if you\u2019re already experiencing a jawbone disorder like the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Angular Cheilitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ill-fitting dentures can make it difficult to keep a properly aligned bite. While this is crucial for eating food more easily, it also prevents your saliva from pooling near the corners of your mouth. If this occurs, it can result in a bacterial infection known as angular cheilitis. This condition is due to the overgrowth of yeast, appearing as red and itchy patches or streaks in the corners of the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: Damage to Adjacent Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dentures are designed to support your jawbone structure as well as any other remaining teeth. With ill-fitting ones, you risk potentially grating and harming your adjacent pearly whites. This can gradually wear down your enamel, causing them to be thinner, uncomfortable, and even susceptible to further damage or tooth loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your dentures don\u2019t fit properly, don\u2019t hesitate to visit your dentist. They\u2019ll be able to assess your situation, detect the root problem, and provide the necessary adjustments or replacements to help you enjoy your restored smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
