If you've recently gotten dentures, you may be wondering how to adjust to wearing them. It can take some time, but there are a few things you can do to make the transition easier.
Here are a few tips on how to adjust to wearing a new denture:
Start by wearing your teeth for a few hours at a time. Slowly increase the amount of time you wear them each day until you're comfortable wearing them all day.
Eat soft foods at first and cut your food into small pieces. As you get used to wearing your teeth, you can eat tougher foods and larger pieces of food.
Practice speaking. You may find that you need to talk more slowly at first or enunciate your words more clearly.
Avoid sticky or hard foods as they can cause your dentures to dislodge.
Remove your teeth at night and soak them in denture cleanser. This will help keep them clean and prevent them from drying out.
With time and patience, you'll be able to adjust to wearing dentures and feel confident about your new smile!
