How to avoid mouth sores from your dentures
Loose dentures can cause not only a great deal of embarrassment, but a significant amount of discomfort for the wearer as well. When dentures become ill-fitted and lose their tight fit on the gums, they will start to move out of place.
The friction caused as a result of the frequent rubbing of the loose dentures against the gums, and the sensitive inner lining of the mouth, can cause sores or mouth ulcers to develop. Mouth ulcers can form on different parts of the oral cavity depending on where the denture rubs most, including the gums, tongue, cheeks, and inner lip.
So what is the best way to deal with mouth sores? Regular cleaning and good oral hygiene will go along way in the prevention and cure of mouth sores. Aside from brushing, regular visits to a dentist will also ensure that oral health is properly maintained.
However a long-term solution for mouth sores caused by loose dentures can be provided by a clinical dental technician (CDT). A certified CDT can create and fit a pair of secure dentures which are designed to mould your mouth perfectly.
Clinical dental technicians can also provide dental implants to support ill fitting dentures, so that the dental restorations ares secured firmly in place. Implant-supported dentures eliminate the problem of uncontrollable denture movement.
With a newly fitted denture, or supported dental implants, the problem of embarrassment and discomfort can be avoided, or eliminated altogether.
