Our teeth play a key role in how we eat and speak, after all, so life without them brings unique challenges. Fortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oshinsofsmiles.com\/dentures.html\">dentures<\/a> are a tried-and-true solution that can restore your smile and make these daily tasks much simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentures have begun to chafe or frequently become displaced, though, you\u2019re no longer able to make the most of them. If they need to be adjusted or relined, you won\u2019t want to delay. Keep reading to learn 3 reasons why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #1: Bleeding Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For your dentures to stay in place, they need to fit like a glove. They rest on your gums which gain their structure from the underlying bone structure. Unfortunately, when you lose a tooth your body reabsorbs the surrounding bone mass because there\u2019s nothing there to keep it stimulated and active. As a result, if you\u2019ve lost several or all your teeth then your jawbone begins to deteriorate. This changes your facial structure so dentures that once fit perfectly no longer do. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These changes mean that your dentures are less secure in your mouth and will rub in places they shouldn\u2019t. You could end up with swollen, aching gums that bleed when you have them in. This is both uncomfortable as well as a health risk because it leaves you vulnerable to germs and infection. If you\u2019ve noticed that your gums are sore when you wear your dental gear, it\u2019s time to call the dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #2: Challenges Speaking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You rely on your teeth to be able to form certain words and sounds required for effective communication. Dentures can thankfully fill that role after tooth loss, but not if they aren\u2019t fitting properly! If they\u2019re loose in your mouth when you talk, you could develop a lisp or other difficulties. They\u2019re also more likely to pop out of your mouth mid-conversation if they\u2019re no longer attaching well. Save yourself the embarrassment and have them refitted so that you can speak as smoothly as ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #3: An Aching Jaw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentures are frequently slipping or clicking out of place, you\u2019re likely working your tongue and mouth muscles harder than before to try to hold it in. Over time, the extra effort could leave your cheeks and jaw feeling sore. You might even develop a TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder or a locked jaw which leads to other health issues. It\u2019s hard to keep up a healthy diet, for example, when it hurts to bite down or chew! By contacting your dentist as soon as you notice a problem, you can avoid unnecessary complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your dentures in good shape is key to making the most of them. If yours no longer fit, contact your dentist so that you can get back to enjoying all the benefits they provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Steven Oshins graduated from the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine where he was selected as one of 2 students across the United States for an internship at the United States Penitentiary Atlanta.
