Elderly denture care needs

The elderly have reached a certain age. Wearing dentures is a very common phenomenon. However, some older people will experience pain after wearing dentures. Experts say: If the pain is not heavy, you can insist on try-on, and if it is serious, you should not be stubborn. Wear, not to bite hard food, should be revised in time. Ask the doctor to wear 2-3 hours before the examination. Improper dentures can be pressed close to the oral tissue to make it easy to find the pain site for accurate modification.

It's inconvenient to talk after you wear your teeth. More common in missing anterior teeth or full denture. Generally do not have to rush to modify, try to stick to the trial as much as possible, will gradually become accustomed after a period of time, such as long-term inconvenience, should check and handle.

Dentures are not stable. People who wear full dentures tend to fall off when they talk, open their mouths, and chew on food. People who wear dentures at the beginning are not fit for the tongue and the two rib muscles. When they are active, they don't fit well, making it easy to cause dentures to slide. After wearing for a period of time, the oral tissue and surrounding muscles are trained and most people can adapt. If the denture is still not stable for a long time and cannot chew food, it should be promptly sought for a doctor to repair or redo.

To protect dentures, note the following:

1, do not bite hard food. Because the denture is a hard plastic product, the texture is brittle and it is easy to break.

2, pay attention to oral hygiene. Take a fake toothbrush and take it once after meals. If you can not brush every time after a meal, at least before going to bed at night to seriously scrub, can be used toothpaste, soap wash, but do not use alcohol or hot boiling water with boiling water, it will deform the denture.

3, before going to sleep should be removed after washing the denture soaked in a cold cup, can not only make the denture not deformed, but also make the oral mucosa to be properly rested.
