When they fit well, they provide many benefits that have maintained their status as a popular treatment over the years. Patients love that they look and feel natural as well as restore their ability to eat and speak normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find that yours are slipping out of place or clicking when you open your mouth, they might not be fitting properly, anymore. Those with a full schedule or many other priorities may be tempted to put off a visit to the dentist to have them relined, but there are risks if you do. Keep reading to learn 3 of the complications of dentures that are out of shape. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Issue #1: Swollen Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you lose a tooth, your body reabsorbs the surrounding bone mass that\u2019s no longer necessary to support it. As a result, your facial structure gradually shifts and changes over time. That means that dentures that once fit like a glove suddenly are loose or prone to becoming displaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentures no longer fit, they\u2019ll chafe against your gums in ways and places they weren\u2019t intended to. The added pressure and repeated friction can cause swelling and irritation, not to mention bleeding when you wear them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Issue #2: Blisters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with inflamed gums, ill-fitting dentures that are rubbing you raw can cause blisters. Though this is your body\u2019s natural defense to protect your delicate tissues, they can hurt and develop infection. This causes the blisters to multiply which leaves many people feeling embarrassed on top of the additional agony. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Issue #3: Sore Muscles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your tongue and other mouth muscles are forced to work overtime to try to keep your now-slippery dentures in place. Unfortunately, this can leave your jaw and face with aches and pains. If you don\u2019t address the issue, you might even develop a TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. This joint is responsible for allowing us to open and close our mouths so when it\u2019s tight and tense, you\u2019ll have a hard time with meals and conversations. In some cases, patients become so sore that they can\u2019t open their mouths at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add insult to injury, when your mouth and jaw hurt, the tenderness often extends upwards into your face or skull which can result in intense headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dentures no longer stay put like they used to, call your dentist sooner rather than later. They\u2019ll help you adjust or replace them so that you can continue to enjoy the many advantages they offer for the next several years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Brown, Reynolds, Snow, LeNoir Dentistry, patients of all ages benefit from an award-winning team of dental experts.
