As a general rule, you should wear your dentures for at least 8 hours per day to allow your gums and jawbone to adjust and prevent sore spots from developing. Your gums need time to rest at night, so you need to take them out before bed. Furthermore, you should also remove them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Wearing dentures isn’t always comfortable at first, but it’s important to give your mouth time to adjust. If you’re having trouble, talk to your dentist about ways to make wearing dentures more comfortable. With a little time and patience, you’ll be able to wear your dentures easily in no time!
