What Are Dentures, and What Are They Made Of?
Dentures are artificial teeth that we use to replace missing teeth. They can be made of various materials, including porcelain and plastic, and they sometimes include meta in their construction for added support. Dentures can be either partial or full.
We use partial dentures to replace one or more missing teeth, while we use complete dentures to replace all teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Dentures are usually held in place by natural suction or by adhesive. In some cases, they may be anchored to dental implants. Dentures may need to be replaced every few years as the shape of the jaw changes with age – the key is to see your dentist for regular checkups to ensure they are doing their job and don’t have issues. These checkups can also be one great way to ensure they do not affect your nutrition when, for example, they may make it difficult for you to chew.
Dentures and Nutrition
Dentures can significantly impact your nutrition, especially if your dentures are not designed correctly or have developed a problem over time. Without the ability to chew correctly, you may miss out on essential nutrients for good health.
Additionally, you may find it difficult to eat foods high in fiber, which can be challenging to chew. As a result, you may be at risk for constipation and other digestive problems.
Another consideration is that poorly-fit dentures can affect your sense of taste. Without the stimulation of teeth and gums, you may find that your food seems bland and unappetizing. Improper stimulation can lead to weight loss and malnutrition.
Finally, dentures can also cause irritation and sores in the mouth, making it difficult to eat without pain. Primarily if your dentist doesn’t design the right dentures for your mouth or if you don’t keep current with your dentist appointment to ensure your dentures are in good shape.
And though dentures can be an excellent, cost-effective tooth restoration option, they can affect your diet. You should take steps to ensure you get the nutrition you need. Proper nutrition may include choosing softer foods, using a food processor or blender, and taking vitamins and supplements.
Newman Dental offers the following tips for eating well with dentures:
- Start with soft foods and gradually introduce harder foods into your diet as you get used to your dentures.
- Be sure to cut your food into small pieces to make chewing easier.
- Avoid sticky or hard foods, as they can be difficult to chew and may cause your dentures to slip.
- Chew slowly and evenly to prevent your dentures from moving around in your mouth.
- If you experience discomfort while eating, try using a denture adhesive.
Following these tips can make the transition to eating with Tucson dentures much easier. Newman Dental is here to help you every step of the way, so don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
