Navigating the transition to dentures can be challenging, as you may encounter temporary issues such as pain, speech difficulty, sliding prosthetics, trouble eating, and excess saliva. Pain and discomfort often stem from the pressure on gums, gradually improving with adjustment. If persistent, consult our dentist, who may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers and saltwater rinses. Speech difficulties are common initially; practicing speaking and singing can aid in regaining your normal pattern. Sliding prosthetics may occur due to the removable nature of dentures; be patient with adjustments. Eating challenges arise as your mouth adapts, requiring patience and a gradual reintroduction of challenging foods. Excess saliva is a temporary response that will resolve as your salivary glands adjust. For personalized advice, consult your dentist. At Bloor Lansdowne Dental Centre, our oral health experts are ready to assist you with any denture concerns.
