Wearing false teeth or dentures will take getting accustomed to. A new denture may require adjustments to better fit and accommodate your mouth.
Sensitivity
If you have a partial plate, your supporting teeth may become sensitive if the denture puts too much pressure on them.
Gums
The bearing down of the denture on your gums over areas that have prominent bones can cause painful sores.
Difficulty Eating
Poorly fitting dentures can affect how you eat. Dentures can be too tight or too loose, resulting in pain while eating. Inform your dentist if you experience pain when you eat.
Taste Buds
Because upper dentures cover the top of your mouth, your ability to taste will be diminished because those taste buds are covered, according to Retirement Expert, a British website that offers expert advice to retirees.
Hot and Cold
Sensitivity to hot and cold foods alters with the wearing of false teeth, so denture wearers must take steps to not burn themselves when eating.
Pain Relief
Dentures.net recommends removing false teeth and letting the inflamed gum tissue rest to alleviate pain. Over-the-counter denture creams and adhesives also provide temporary relief.
