Good dentures fit well!

 

Good dentures fit well!

Dentures are not always problematic.

Fitting of a denture depends on multiple factors, those are, bone (alveolar ridge) on which the denture sits, saliva and the muscules around it. And most importantly patient compliance.

Advantages of a denture wearing:

1)      Natural and lightweight: Modern dentures aren’t like their traditional counterparts and are designed of lightweight material that has a natural look. They’ll make your smile appear beautiful and give your self-confidence a boost.

2)      Helps with chewing your food:

·         Absorb More Nutrients and Energy From Your Food

·         Maintain a Healthy Weight

·         Your Food Gets More Exposure to Your Saliva

·         Easier Digestion

·         Chewing also reduces the risk of bacterial overgrowth  – lumps of food that aren’t broken down properly can cause bacterial overgrowth in the colon, which leads to indigestion, bloating, flatulence and constipation.

·         Enjoy Your Food

 

3)      Dentures support facial features: Dentures may offer support to your facial features by preventing sagging cheeks and missing teeth.

4)      Less invasive procedure, suitable for many medically compromised patients.

5)      Can also be delivered to patients with inadequate bone density.

6)      Cost-effective: Placement of dentures may be considered a cost-effective solution, compared with other procedures like fixed dental prosthesis.

Food that damage your teeth.

 

Acid reflux and tooth erosion

 

Acid reflux can wear away the enamel on the inside surfaces of your teeth, as well as the chewing surfaces.

Your dentist may notice this during an exam.

Unfortunately, tooth erosion is permanent.

If your enamel has started to wear away, you may:

• ·         Feel pain or sensitivity when consuming hot, cold or sweet drinks
• ·         Notice a yellowish discoloration of the teeth
• ·         Find that your fillings have changed
• ·         Face greater risks for cavities over time
• ·         Develop an abscess, in extreme cases
• ·         Experience tooth loss in extreme cases
• ·         Once erosion occurs, you may need fillings, crowns, a root canal or even tooth removal. Veneers may be an option to restore the look of your smile.

Here’s what you can do to protect your teeth:

• Avoid brushing your teeth immediately after a reflux episode. Brushing may damage enamel that has already been weakened by acid.
• Chew sugar-free gum. Chewing gum stimulates saliva flow, which reduces acid in your mouth.
• To reduce the risk of demineralization of your teeth, ask your dentist about mouth rinses and toothpastes containing fluoride.
• To dilute the acid in your mouth, rinse vigorously with water.
• Avoiding alcohol and smoking and refraining from eating 3 hours before bedtime may reduce the frequency of acid reflux episodes.
• If heartburn, acid reflux or other stomach problems are part of your daily life, work with your physician on a care plan to treat the underlying causes of your stomach troubles.
• If you suffer from acid reflux, see your dentist regularly so they can make sure your teeth stay healthy, recommend ways to prevent tooth enamel erosion and suggest ways to get relief if you are also suffering from dry mouth.
