It\u2019s important to be patient while your mouth is adjusting to your restorations. They\u2019re custom-crafted for your unique mouth, but you\u2019ll still need to get used to doing basic functions like chewing and speaking with them in. There\u2019s no need to worry though, this period only lasts a few weeks and the new feeling will eventually wear off. Read on for tips to help you adjust to your dentures faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give Them a Chance and Set Realistic Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most cosmetic and orthodontic treatments, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andersondentalgahanna.com\/dentures.html\">dentures<\/a> can feel odd in your mouth at first. When you\u2019re hyper-aware of the feeling, it can seem distracting and uncomfortable. Don\u2019t worry though, the effects will eventually wear off. Once you get used to doing basic tasks like eating and speaking with your dentures in, you\u2019ll notice how much they improve your quality of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that you\u2019ll experience some soreness after wearing them. If this persists, you may want to visit your dentist to get them readjusted to help relieve some of your discomfort. If you\u2019d like to more gradually get used to the way they feel in your mouth, you can always take out your restorations every four hours to give your gums and jaw a small break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test Out Denture Adhesive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you take home your restorations, be sure to ask your dentist if they have any recommendations for dental creams and adhesives. Try different ones to see what works best with your mouth. Remember that just a little bit can go a long way and help reduce your chances of experiencing irritation. However, be mindful that adhesive doesn\u2019t fix ill-fitting dentures. If your restorations are giving you persistent issues, schedule an appointment to see if they need adjusting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice Speaking and Eating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients often have to relearn chewing and speaking with their new restorations. This can sometimes prove to be a little frustrating, but you can speed up the process by practicing. Sing in the shower and read aloud to help articulate speech sounds and reduce lisping and slurring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re first adjusting to eating with your dentures, start off with soft foods that are easy on your gums like mashed potatoes and fish. As you get used to the way they feel and begin introducing new foods, be sure to cut them into small, easily chewable pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strengthen Your Cheek Muscles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your cheek muscles help you chew and swallow food, so when you exercise them in the first few weeks of adjusting to your dentures, you can have more control over your restorations. Keep in mind that ill-fitting dentures can also result in cheek pain, so if you experience routine discomfort, be sure to schedule a visit with your dentist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best not to miss any of your follow-up appointments with your dentist after you get your new restorations. Be sure to follow these adjustment tips to make it easier on your mouth and start getting the most out of your new dentures, faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Brooke Buller is an experienced dentist who graduated from dental school at The Ohio State University before taking various continuing education courses.
