Thinking you need some tips as a new denture user? The more you understand how to wear your new dentures, the less chance you have when it comes to experiencing any denture-related problems. The fact that your dentures play a very important role in your life makes it essential to do everything in your power to incorporate dentures into your lifestyle.

Why are dentures so important?

Understanding more about dentures as a new denture user is something you must do. Dentures are essential for those who are missing most or all of their teeth, as they allow you to eat and drink without issue and smile with confidence every single time. They also help eliminate talking problems that often come with missing multiple teeth. In addition, since dentures help to support your facial muscles, they also help prevent any facial sagging. This is a fundamental reason why making them a part of your life requires you to provide them with the right care.

3 tips for new denture users

The list below includes three tips that can benefit any new denture user.

#1 – Chew food after it is cut into smaller pieces

Cutting up food into smaller pieces allows for easier chewing. It takes some time to get used to eating with dentures, and cutting food into smaller, more manageable sizes makes it much easier for new denture users to chew their food properly. In order to keep dentures in their proper place, it is also suggested to chew evenly on both sides of the mouth rather than only chewing on one side.

#2 – Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day

New denture users should avoid having a dry mouth, as a dry mouth can potentially lead to mouth irritations and even a buildup of bacteria. Saliva plays a very important role in proper denture care, making it a good idea for new users to drink fluids throughout the day to support their saliva production. Those taking medications that can cause dry mouth need to let their dental professional know to understand their options.

#3 – Practice talking with new dentures at home

It can take days or, in some cases, weeks for someone to learn how to talk with their new dentures in their mouth, which is to be expected. This period makes it necessary for new denture users to practice talking out loud at home, as this will prepare them for talking in public. It is a good idea to practice talking in front of a mirror or reading a book or magazine aloud.
