Millions of Americans suffer from extensive tooth loss. If you\u2019re a part of that statistic, you know firsthand how much it can affect your quality of life. Well, dentures are an excellent solution to rebuild your smile and restore your confidence. It\u2019s worth noting that they\u2019re not a permanent method of tooth replacement, which means you must take proper care of them to ensure they last as long as possible. Otherwise, they can become ill-fitting and lead to several dental problems. Read on to learn which complications can arise from ill-fitting dentures and how your dentist can help.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Complications Can Ill-Fitting Dentures Cause?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although it may not seem obvious, your jawbone\u2019s shape changes over time. When you have missing teeth, your gums and jawbone may shrink from lack of tooth root stimulation. That can cause dentures<\/a> that once fit you perfectly to become loose or uncomfortable. If you have ill-fitting dentures, it can lead to several complications, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irritated, Swollen, Inflamed Gums<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ill-fitting dentures can rub against the gum tissue in unnatural ways, leading to irritation and inflammation. The extra friction and pressure against your gums can also cause swelling, making it easier for your connective tissues to become injured or bleed while wearing dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blisters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blisters may develop when your dentures rub against certain areas in your mouth. It\u2019s the body\u2019s attempt to protect affected tissues, but it\u2019s certainly unpleasant. If you develop an infection, the blisters can grow and multiply, leading to other complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difficulty Speaking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking with dentures is hard enough, but it\u2019s even more difficult when they\u2019re constantly moving around in your mouth. Not only can ill-fitting dentures make people feel self-conscious, but they can cause people to develop a lisp or speech impediment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headaches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even though people may not realize it, headaches are an all-too-common side effect of ill-fitting dentures. When your mouth hurts, your jaw hurts \u2013 and when your jaw hurts, it often causes your head to hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trouble Eating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your dentures don\u2019t fit properly, you may have difficulty eating certain foods. Unfortunately, that can make it hard to stick to a clean and well-balanced diet. Additionally, food can more easily become trapped between your gums and dentures, increasing your risk of gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Your Dentist Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you notice your dentures don\u2019t fit right anymore, you should contact your dentist right away for help. They might recommend denture relining, which involves adding material to the inner plate that hugs the gums. It\u2019ll make sure that your restorations fit properly and securely once again. If you\u2019d like more stability for day-to-day use, ask your dentist about securing your dentures with dental implants. It\u2019s one of the most permanent tooth-replacement solutions that will eliminate problems with slipping and irritation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have ill-fitting dentures, don\u2019t hesitate to ask your dentist for a solution. They\u2019ll get your smile back on track in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
