5 Things To Know About Wearing Dentures

From a young age we are constantly informed about how important it is to have excellent oral hygiene, to keep our mouths and teeth healthy. However, even with the best care, losing teeth due to old age, dental disease, or accidents is common. When this happens, making use of dentures is the popular option. These can be either partial, to fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth or, if all your teeth had to be removed, a full set to allow you to eat, drink, smile and converse freely with confidence. There is a common misconception that because dentures are artificial they are simply "fit and forget" cosmetic enhancements. This is not true. To be able to derive the maximum benefits from your dentures, you need to understand how to care for them.
