\"OlderDentures are a tried-and-proven solution to treat significant tooth loss. New technologies and high-quality materials allow them to look and feel more realistic than ever. They\u2019ll fit your mouth like a glove as they rest on top of your gum tissue and are held in place by suction. However, over time, your dentures<\/a> may begin to slip. While an adhesive can hold them in place, ill-fitting dentures can cause serious complications if the issue isn\u2019t addressed. Here are 5 risks of ignoring poorly fitting dentures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Gum Inflammation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dentures can rub on your soft tissue, causing inflammation and sores. Although it may not seem too concerning initially, it can make it difficult to continue wearing your dentures because the swelling can worsen and lead to tenderness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Sensitivity and Soreness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your soft tissues are irritated from friction, even the slightest pressure can be painful, which can make it almost impossible to wear your dentures. You can also experience jaw or facial pain because your muscles will have to work harder to keep your teeth in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Infections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Slipping dentures can cause sores or blisters, which can lead to painful infections. Your mouth is home to bacteria that can quickly turn a small issue into a big problem that can wreak havoc on your oral and general health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

If your dentures don\u2019t fit well, speaking clearly can be challenging if your teeth are moving around in your mouth. In some situations, your dentures may fall out mid-sentence. You might find yourself speaking less because your words are slurred or you\u2019re worried about embarrassment from your denture falling out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Poorly fitting dentures can make it almost impossible to eat certain foods, like meat. As a result, you might eliminate several foods from your diet because they are too hard to chew. Unfortunately, this can quickly lead to nutritional deficiencies that can harm your health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop Your Dentures from Slipping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s normal for the fit of your dentures to change because your hard and soft tissues will shrink over the years. Your dentures won\u2019t adapt to the changes. Your dentist can provide the adjustments you need to restore a snug, comfortable fit. You\u2019ll restore a functional smile while skipping the risks of slipping dentures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re ready to stop irritation for good, ask your dentist about adding the support of 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 with the right care, so you won\u2019t have to worry about adjustments or replacements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
