As noted previously, you'll need to wear your dentures for most of the waking hours in the day to ensure good fit of the dentures. Not wearing them often enough can lead to issues down the line because when you don't wear your dentures, the bone, gums, and muscles in the mouth aren’t stimulated as they should be – this is what keeps the soft tissues and jawbone healthy. Also, not wearing them often enough can lead to discomfort when wearing them because your tissues are not accustomed to the pressures. If you have problems with your dentures, always contact your dentist for help.
