Dealing with tooth loss isn’t easy. That doesn’t come as a surprise since tooth loss can bring a considerable amount of challenges into your life. With an incomplete set of pearly whites, you can’t show yourself during your high school reunion or your best friend’s party on the Gold Coast because you’re not sure if other people will treat you kindly once your physical flaw surfaces. You also have to settle for soft foods due to your biting and chewing troubles. Furthermore, you find it very difficult to strike a conversation with the person you like no thanks to the distorted sounds you make every time you speak.
Fortunately, you don’t have to put up with these hardships your entire life. It turns out that your dentist has just offered to give you replacement teeth in the form of dentures. But before accepting your dentist’s offer, you’ll want to know if dentures suit you best by going over their advantages and disadvantages.
However, wearing dentures can be a mystery to those who does not have them. There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about how they work and how to care for them, even for those who wear dentures. Some people aren’t aware that dentures require checking and maintenance every year; they are not a one-off, set-and-forget deal. Typically, those that don’t get them checked are also the ones that complain that their dentures are annoying, uncomfortable or painful.
The good news is that taking care of dentures is surprisingly easy. They do need to be taken out of the mouth at night, but they can simply be left to rest in a glass of cold water. The majority of wearers prefer to add a mild cleaning solution while the dentures are resting. This is not always necessary, but it can be a good way to make sure that the artificial teeth stay clean and in tip top condition.
