\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

While dentures are certainly time-tested, they don’t (and can’t) last forever. These tooth replacements<\/a> \u2013 as durable as they are \u2013 must be switched out for new ones every few years. With that said, you might wonder: How will you know when to replace your dentures? There\u2019s no need to worry or fret; your Nepean dentist can address this issue. To get the answers you want, keep reading and learn four key signs you should switch out your dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ve Broken or Fractured<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once your dentures suffer breaks or fractures, you should replace them. Continuing to use them would be risky for you and your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, broken dentures actually count as a dental emergency. Their breaks and fractures have sharp edges \u2013 the kind that can injure your teeth, gums, and other mouth tissues. Adding insult to injury, using them will also cause the devices\u2019 fit to break down. It\u2019s better to avoid such problems by getting your dentures repaired or replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Don\u2019t Let You Eat & Speak Well<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If a denture doesn\u2019t help you eat and speak, you\u2019re better off replacing it. The device isn\u2019t doing much (if anything) to improve your oral health or quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a denture makes eating and speaking hard, it often has a poor fit. The prosthetic doesn\u2019t adhere well to your mouth, so it can\u2019t apply force to help you chew your food. Your tongue also can\u2019t rely on a denture\u2019s teeth in that scenario, meaning you\u2019ll struggle with words. It follows that you should switch out your old dentures for new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Have a Very Loose Fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentures that feel loose or \u201coff in your mouth are ones that don\u2019t work. As such, you should replace them with new ones as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, good dentures remain firm and secure with friction alone. You won\u2019t need adhesives or other tools to stop them from slipping, even when you\u2019re chewing or speaking. Once a denture feels loose, it\u2019s at a point where it needs adjustment or replacement. Adhesives, creams, and similar items would only serve as short-term fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Cause Aches & Pains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s normal for dentures to cause aches when you first get them. However, those that prompt persistent pain must often be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, quality dentures apply even pressure throughout your gums. This trait allows the prosthetics to help you eat, speak, and smile relatively easily. When a denture puts more pressure on specific points, something has usually gone wrong with its design. To avoid painful pressure sores, you\u2019ll want to replace it with a better restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For other signs you should replace your dentures, consult your dental provider. They\u2019ll gladly share some notable ones with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
