Every seven to 10 years, your restorations need to be replaced so they do their job properly. As time goes on, your mouth and facial structure will change due to factors like jawbone deterioration. When your oral tissues and bone aren\u2019t stimulated by the roots of your missing teeth, it can cause your dentures to become loose because the shape of your gums have changed. With dental implants in North Raleigh, you won\u2019t have to worry about noticing any of these five issues below.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Chips or Cracks<\/h2>\n<p>Dentures aren\u2019t indestructible, and when you\u2019re cleaning them they can be easy to drop or damage. Even if you put too much pressure on them, a tooth could break. Using a repair kit or trying to fix the issue yourself may seem like the right thing to do to avoid a trip to your dentist in North Raleigh, but that\u2019s not the case. If you notice chips, cracks, or fractures in your dentures, you\u2019ll need to get them repaired. These crevices and defects can collect harmful bacteria that can cause problems like gum disease.<\/p>\n<h2>Difficulty Chewing and Speaking<\/h2>\n<p>One of the reasons that you probably decided to get dentures in the first place was to restore your ability to chew and pronounce sounds more easily. If your restorations start to\u00a0shift and slip in your mouth, it can make it difficult to do both of these\u00a0tasks.<\/p>\n<h2>Discomfort<\/h2>\n<p>When you first get your dentures, you\u2019ll most likely go through an uncomfortable adjustment period while your mouth gets used to them. However, if you experience this further down the line, and notice soreness or that you have an uneven bite, don\u2019t hesitate to\u00a0let your dentist know. General discomfort can be a sign of poor fit and result in additional pain if it\u2019s not addressed.<\/p>\n<h2>Oral Pressure Sores<\/h2>\n<p>When your dentures aren\u2019t well-fitted to your mouth, it can cause an uneven bite force distribution. That means that in areas of your mouth where more pressure is being placed on your gums, sores can begin to\u00a0appear. This force should be evenly spread across your gums so there\u2019s no one area of your mouth that\u2019s working harder than the other. If you notice pressure sores developing, your dentures need to be readjusted.<\/p>\n<h2>Discoloration or Bad Odor<\/h2>\n<p>The best way to care for your dentures is according to your dentist\u2019s instructions. These will typically include brushing and rinsing your restorations daily, storing them in water overnight, and using a cleaning solution to sanitize them. Unfortunately, issues like discoloration happen naturally, but you can get them professionally cleaned and keep this from happening. If you notice a lingering smelly odor that won\u2019t go away, your dentures could have a fissure or crack that\u2019s collecting food debris and bacteria. In this case, you\u2019ll want to take them to your dentist to be inspected.<\/p>\n<p>After trying dentures, if you\u2019ve decided that they\u2019re not the right restorative option that\u2019s best suited for your lifestyle, ask your dentist about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drlisk.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>.
