Common teething problems
Dentures take some getting used to, so if you’ve just started wearing them and are struggling, you aren’t alone in this! With time, you’ll find they should become comfortable and natural to wear.
In the first few days, you will find that you salivate more than you’re used to. This is because your mouth is aware of your dentures as a foreign object, and will stop as you get used to them. You may also find there is some soreness to start with but, again, this will pass. If it doesn’t, consult our dental technicians. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water for the first 14 days may help with this.
It’s also common to find eating and speaking a little more challenging than you might expect! This is also normal, and is just your mouth getting used to the dentures. Practice makes perfect, so try reading aloud or singing. When it comes to eating, it’s advisable to start with soft foods, cut into small pieces. As you become more comfortable and confident with your dentures, you can progress to the food you normally eat. Practice chewing on both sides of your denture to keep it stable.
