Life with Dentures
Living with dentures requires some adjustments, but with proper care, they can offer comfort and reliability:
- Eating with Dentures: Start with softer foods and avoid overly crunchy options like trail mix, hard almonds, or hard candies to protect your dentures and ensure a smooth transition.
Denture Care: Remove your dentures every night to allow your gums to rest and to clean the appliance. Regular cleaning prevents plaque buildup and ensures long-term durability. With proper maintenance, dentures can last between seven to ten years.
