<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>While dentures improve the form and function of a person’s smile, they feel and act differently than natural teeth. These differences can entail a learning curve as people must learn how to care for their dentures and get used to smiling, eating, speaking, and drinking while wearing dentures. It is important for people to continue wearing their dentures to help their mouth adjust. It is common for people to feel that their dentures are too loose or big at first. However, the tongue and mouth muscles will soon adjust and help keep the dentures in place.</p>
<p>Speaking is one of the most noticeable adjustments patients must make when adjusting to dentures. Patients may experience some difficulty speaking with them because of the changes in the way the mouth muscles move. We recommend that people practice reading out loud in front of a mirror during those first few weeks. Patients should also make sure they have the right denture adhesive and start by speaking slowly to get used to conversing with dentures.</p>

<p>Another crucial aspect of adjusting to new dentures is a consistent and effective dental hygiene routine. Proper denture care is essential to maintaining the health of the gums and mouth. Dentures should be brushed and rinsed every day to remove food and plaque. It is also vital to soak dentures overnight since dentures need to remain moist to maintain their shape.</p>
<p>People should avoid using abrasive cleaning materials such as harsh or whitening toothpaste, hot water, and products that contain bleach. It is also essential to schedule <a title="Read more about Caring for Dentures" href="https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/caring-dentures#2-5" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Adjusting-to-New-Dentures">regular dental check-ups</a>.

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>During the 30-day adjustment period, patients should be gentle on their mouths and take their time adjusting to a new routine. New denture wearers should develop realistic expectations. While oral discomfort is normal and expected, dentures will start to feel more natural and comfortable over time. <a title="Read more about Side effects of false teeth" href="https://www.healthline.com/health/false-teeth#side-effects/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Adjusting-to-New-Dentures">Increased salivation</a> and sore spots on the mouth are also normal to experience during the first month of wearing new dentures.</p>
<p>While eating and speaking may feel foreign at first, practicing and having patience are key to the adjustment process. If there are still fit and comfort issues after a month, people should contact us for an adjustment appointment. After the first 30 days, people should be able to enjoy their everyday activities comfortably and confidently.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Adjusting Eating Practices</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>People with new dentures may also need to adjust their eating practices. We recommend starting with soft foods since chewing becomes more challenging when wearing dentures for the first time. People will have to learn how to chew without popping their dentures out of place, biting their tongues, or scraping their gums.</p>
<p>Once people are ready to move on to tougher foods, it is best to cut the food into small, bite-sized pieces that the back teeth can chew easily. Even once people get used to chewing, they should not chew with the front teeth since it can cause dentures to become unstuck in the back. It is also best to avoid sticky foods, hard items, or tough cuts of meat that may cause dentures to come loose or even damage them.</p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Is adjusting to new dentures easier if patients wear them at night?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Wearing new dentures as much as possible helps patients adjust to the fit. Once individuals feel comfortable with their dentures, however, it is essential to remove them at night. Studies from the <a title="Read more about Denture Wearing during Sleep Doubles the Risk of Pneumonia in the Very Elderly" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4541085/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Adjusting-to-New-Dentures"> Journal of Dental Research</a> have found a link between wearing dentures while sleeping and increasing cases of infections, such as pneumonia.</span></p>
</span>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Can I adjust my dentures myself?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Though there are several products on the market for do-it-yourself denture repair, it is best to avoid fixing your own dentures. If there are issues with comfort and fit, contact us so we can make the necessary adjustments. Patients can seriously damage or break their dentures if they attempt self-repair.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">How long will the diet be impacted when adjusting to new dentures?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">For most patients, eating and drinking may seem a little different in the beginning. For the first few days after getting new dentures, individuals may feel more comfortable eating soft foods. They should be ready to go back to their regular diet within a week or two.</span></p>

<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">It is normal if patients feel minor discomfort or pain during the denture adjustment period. During those first few weeks, patients can try a variety of strategies to reduce discomfort. Topical pain relief gels, gum massage, warm water rinses with salt, aloe vera gel, or pain relief medicine may help.</span></p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">It is common to have more saliva when wearing new dentures. Sore mouth muscles and gum irritation are also typical. As the mouth shifts and gets used to the new dentures, these issues should go away in a few weeks.</span></p>
