They help you with daily tasks, like eating and speaking, that greatly impact your quality of life. Did you know, though, that tooth loss leads to changes in your facial structure? Your body gradually reabsorbs bone mass in your jaw because there are no longer teeth in place to stimulate growth and activity. That\u2019s bad news for your dentures, which depend on your gums and the underlying bone structure for support. They may not sit as snuggly as they used to as a result of these changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t want to wait to see your dentist if that\u2019s the case. Though it may be tempting to hold off, there are several disadvantages to ill-fitting dentures. Keep reading to learn about 3 reasons you should have them adjusted sooner rather than later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #1: Swollen Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentures no longer fit well, they\u2019ll rub your gums raw in ways they\u2019re not supposed to. They\u2019ll be more prone to slipping or sliding in your mouth. The extra friction and added pressure can cause swelling and irritation. This makes them more likely to become injured or bleed when you have your dentures in. Not only is it uncomfortable, but it could allow germs to set in and cause infection. You can avoid all this by having your dentist verify whether yours needs to be relined or replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #2: Difficulties Speaking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth play a crucial role in forming certain sounds and words that allow us to communicate with each other. Fortunately, even if you\u2019ve lost all of your teeth, your dentures fill that role. If yours aren\u2019t sitting as snuggly as they should, however, you could develop a lisp or other difficulties when you talk. Not only that, but they\u2019re also more likely to fall out mid-conversation- how embarrassing! By having your dentures refitted, you\u2019ll be able to speak smoothly again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #3: Jaw Soreness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your jaw and mouth muscles work extra hard to keep your dentures in place when they\u2019re not fitting correctly. Over time, the added effort will leave your face feeling sore. You might even develop a TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. In time, you could experience painful muscle tension, a locked jaw, and headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve noticed that your dentures are looser than they used to be, contact your dentist. They\u2019ll be able to assess your condition to either restore or replace your dentures. Soon, you\u2019ll once again enjoy the many benefits of a full, beautiful smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Admasu Gizachew takes pride in getting to know a patient\u2019s oral healthcare needs before devising customized treatment plans.
