Frequently Asked Questions
The lifespan of dentures can vary depending on several factors, including the type of denture, oral hygiene practices, and individual wear and tear. With proper care, dentures can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or even longer. However, over time, they may require adjustments, relines, or replacements.
Initially, it may take some time to adjust to eating with dentures. It’s recommended to start with soft foods and gradually introduce harder foods as you become more comfortable. While you can eat most foods, it’s important to avoid biting into hard or sticky foods that could damage your dentures.
Proper denture care is essential for their longevity and oral health. Here are some tips:
- Daily Cleaning: Remove your dentures daily and clean them with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleanser.
- Soaking: Soak your dentures in a denture cleaning solution overnight to remove bacteria and food particles.
- Avoid Hot Water: Hot water can warp your dentures. Use lukewarm water for cleaning.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Schedule regular dental check-ups to monitor your oral health and denture fit.
It may take some time to adjust to speaking with dentures, especially for new wearers. However, with practice, most people can speak clearly and naturally.
