Wearing a denture is an important way to restore tooth function and beauty, but in order to ensure the comfort of wearing and the service life of the denture, the following key issues need to be noted:
First, the adaptation process
Initial discomfort: When wearing dentures for the first time, there may be foreign body sensation, nausea, vomiting, slurred speech or difficulty chewing in the mouth. This is normal and requires patient adaptation. In general, these symptoms will gradually improve after an adjustment period of 1 to 2 weeks.
Gradual adaptation: When wearing dentures, you should first eat soft food, gradually transition to slightly hard food, and then eat normal food after adaptation. Avoid eating hard or sticky food in the first place to avoid damaging the denture or causing discomfort.
Second, cleaning and maintenance
Daily cleaning: After each meal, the denture should be removed and rinsed with water, and all parts of the denture should be brushed with a soft-bristle toothbrush and toothpaste or a special denture cleaner. Pay special attention to clean the hard-to-reach parts such as clasp ring and base tissue surface.
Soak maintenance: Before going to bed at night, remove the denture and soak it in clean water or special denture cleaner solution. Avoid using hot water or cleaning products containing abrasives to avoid damaging the denture. At the same time, keep the denture wet to prevent deformation or aging.
Regular revisit: follow the doctor's advice to the hospital regularly for comprehensive overhaul, in order to timely detect and deal with denture wear, loosening and other problems. A follow-up visit is usually required every 6 months to 1 year.
Third, picking and wearing methods
Correct removal: When removing dentures, pull the base, rather than push and pull the ring. If you can't take it off and then push the clamp ring, do not use too much force to avoid deformation or damage to the denture. When wearing a denture, do not bite into place to prevent the clasp deformation or denture fracture.
Professional guidance: If it is difficult or uncomfortable to remove or wear dentures, you should go to the hospital in time to seek the help and guidance of professional doctors.
Fourth, dietary precautions
Avoid hard food: During the wearing of the denture, try to avoid eating hard food, such as nuts, bones, etc., so as not to damage the denture or cause oral discomfort.
Pay attention to the stickiness of food: At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid eating sticky food, such as glutinous rice cake, zongzi, etc., so as to avoid the denture being glued off or affecting the bite.
Fifth, other precautions
Keep the mouth moist: When wearing dentures, pay attention to keep the mouth moist. If you feel dry mouth, you can gargle more and drink more water.
Avoid going without a denture for a long time: Going without a denture for a long time may cause changes in the oral tissue that make it difficult to put the denture back in. Therefore, you should avoid going without dentures for long periods of time unless advised by your doctor.
Timely medical treatment: If there is pain, discomfort or denture damage after wearing the denture, you should go to the hospital in time for medical examination and treatment.
To sum up, wearing dentures requires attention to the adaptation process, cleaning and maintenance, removing and wearing methods, dietary precautions and other related issues. Through the correct way of wearing and maintenance, the comfort and service life of the denture can be ensured, so as to better restore the function and beauty of the tooth.
