When you have a piece of clothing that doesn\u2019t fit right, you probably tend to stop wearing it, right? Maybe it\u2019s too tight, or it\u2019s itchy, or it just doesn\u2019t look good on your body.\u00a0 Well, something similar can happen with your dentures. But unlike that old fuzzy sweater that has seen better days, your poorly fitting dentures<\/a> can cause more than just discomfort. In fact, they can cause a lot of oral health problems you may not have even realized were possible. Here\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to make sure your dentures fit right \u2013 and what you can do if they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Gum Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most noticeable complications of ill-fitting dentures is pain. This can be caused by your dentures rubbing against your gums, which in turn can cause chafing, blisters, and tenderness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trouble Speaking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your dentures don\u2019t fit properly, you may have trouble annunciating or speaking clearly, or avoid talking altogether. Don\u2019t silence yourself over a bad fit! If your dentures don\u2019t feel like they did at first, or if you simply haven\u2019t been able to ensure proper speech, it\u2019s time to visit your dentist for some adjustments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malnutrition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you can\u2019t chew a variety of healthy foods, you could be missing out on important vitamins and minerals that will help keep your body strong. This can eventually lead to malnutrition, which can cause everything from vitamin deficiency to unhealthy weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embarrassment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your dentures don\u2019t fit, the pain and slurred speech that you may experience can be very embarrassing. This may lead you to isolate yourself from social situations, to suffer from low self-esteem, depression, or other mental health issues, and to reduce your quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damage To Natural Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you do have any remaining natural teeth, improperly fitting dentures can even pose a risk to those teeth! That\u2019s because your dentures can move, causing chips and cracks in your natural teeth. These chips and cracks can not only damage your natural teeth, but they can also leave you vulnerable to cavities and gum disease, as well as additional tooth loss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your dentures are uncomfortable or don\u2019t fit the way they should, you don\u2019t have to suffer in silence. Correcting improperly fitting dentures can eliminate pain, protect your oral health, and end any embarrassment you may be experiencing, giving you back your reason to smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
