\"OlderNew technologies and materials allow dentures<\/a> to closely look and feel natural. They\u2019ll fit your mouth like a glove using suction to stay in place. However, it’s normal for dentures to slip over the years because your mouth changes shape naturally. Without routine adjustments, your dentures can irritate your soft tissues, slip, or they may even fall out, but those aren’t the only concerns. Here are 5 risks of ill-fitting dentures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Sores, Inflammation, and Infections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Slipping dentures will irritate your soft tissues over time. It’s not uncommon for your gums to be painful or inflamed. You may develop sores or blisters. If the necessary adjustments aren’t made, it can cause infections that can compromise your oral and general health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Nutritional Deficiencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your mouth is sore or your teeth won’t stay in place, it can be challenging or painful to chew certain foods. As a result, you may eliminate certain things from your diet, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies that can affect your health negatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Difficulty Speaking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your teeth play an important role in your ability to speak clearly and confidently. If your pearly whites won\u2019t stay in place, speaking can be awkward and embarrassing. Not to mention, there\u2019s the risk of your dentures falling out mid-sentence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Headaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recurring headaches can be caused by poor-fitting dentures. It can cause uneven pressure distribution on your temporomandibular joints, which are on either side of your face, holding your jaw to your skull. Not only can this lead to facial pain and jaw stiffness, but also headaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Angular Cheilitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your upper and lower dentures don\u2019t align properly, it can cause saliva to pool near the corners of your mouth. This can cause a bacterial infection from an overgrowth of yeast, called angular cheilitis. Red irritated patches or streaks can appear in one or both corners of the mouth, which can be itchy and painful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop Slipping Dentures Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ill-fitting dentures aren\u2019t an issue you want to ignore. Your dentist can perform the adjustments or replacements necessary to stop the irritation and slipping. You\u2019ll have the confidence you need to eat and speak, knowing your teeth will not fall out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an alternative to traditional dentures, you will never have to worry about adjustments again when adding dental implants to your smile. They\u2019ll anchor your denture to your jawbone to benefit from unmatched support and stability. Not to mention, they can last for decades, so you\u2019ll save money on replacements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t spend another day living with the struggles of poor-fitting dentures. Your dentist has the solutions you need to look and feel your best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
