Dry mouth for Denture Wearers

Dentures Bridgeman Downs

 

Denture Wearers are sometimes at greater risk of oral health problems and complications, including tooth loss, because of the medications they take. Certain medications cause dry mouth, increasing the likelihood of cavities, gum disease and other dental problems in their ages. Fortunately, a strong dental strategy can help older patients keep their teeth and gums healthy. Dentures Bridgeman Downs

How Dry Mouth can cause Cavities

Saliva is key to natural cavity prevention and tooth repair. Antibacterial substances contained by saliva help prevent bad oral bacteria from growing out of control and destroying the teeth. At the same time, calcium and other minerals in saliva help the body replace tooth enamel lost from erosion. If the supply of saliva reduce, the teeth no longer can benefit from these protective factors, leaving them more vulnerable to the ravages of bacteria. Dental cavities, tooth infections and tooth loss are more likely to occur unless patients identify and resolve causes of their dry mouth. While disease can cause the mouth to dry out, this condition often results from medications common among older adults.

If you suffer from dry mouth, you will benefit from paying special attention to your oral health. When dry mouth results from medication, you may be able to switch to an alternative drug that lacks this side effect. Drugs most often to blame for dry mouth including antidepressants, antihistamines, anti-anxiety drugs, pain medications,chemotherapy drugs.

It is important to note that medication changes should only be made under the direction of a medical doctor. Meanwhile, you can also reduce your chances of needing tooth cavity treatment by watching your diet and brushing and flossing every day. Sugary foods, which are notorious for causing cavities, are even more important to limit or avoid as long as you are suffering from dry mouth.

Denture Stomatitis

Denture Treatment

Denture Stomatitis

Denture Stomatitis Services help people who wear dentures and feel soreness or redness on the roof of their mouth. This condition is very common. In fact, it affects about one-third of all full denture wearers. Although it often doesn’t hurt, it still needs proper care and attention.

What Causes It?

There are several reasons why Denture Stomatitis can occur. First of all, poor oral hygiene plays a big part. In addition, wearing dentures overnight can lead to trouble. As a result, bacteria and fungi, such as Candida, may grow. Also, loose or worn-out dentures can cause rubbing, which leads to sore spots.

Because of this, treatment must be gentle yet effective. Even though antifungal medicine helps, the problem often comes back. That’s why our approach focuses on daily cleaning, better denture habits, and long-term prevention.

How Can We Help?

Our Denture Stomatitis Services are designed to support your comfort and oral health. To begin with, we offer:

  • Regular dental check-ups
  • Cleaning tips for dentures
  • Fit and pressure checks
  • Emergency denture repairs

With this in mind, our goal is to reduce symptoms and keep the condition from coming back.

What's New in Care?

Recently, a clinical study has explored palatal brushing. This means gently brushing the roof of the mouth to remove fungi and improve healing. During this study, we measure:

  • Infection levels (CFU count)
  • Inflammation or redness

These checks are done at the start, again at 3 months, and once more at 6 months. So far, the results look promising and may offer a better way to care for Denture Stomatitis.

Emergency Denture Repairs – Care Instructions and Tips

Mobile Denture Services | Brisbane Denture Clinic
When you’re facing an unexpected denture issue, having the right knowledge can make a big difference. With the following tips and care instructions, you’ll be better equipped to manage emergency denture repair situations calmly and confidently.

Be Patient and Stay Consistent

To begin with, there’s no official rulebook for wearing dentures. You simply need to wear them regularly and allow time for adjustment. Much like learning to drive, some people pick it up quickly, while others take longer.

That said, everyone can learn with patience.

  • First of all, wear your dentures daily to speed up adaptation.
  • Secondly, don’t let early challenges discourage you.
  • Finally, remember that the more you practise, the faster you’ll feel comfortable.

Speak Clearly – Practise Every Day

At first, you may find it difficult to speak clearly. Most commonly, patients experience a lisp or awkward pronunciation. This happens because dentures slightly change the shape of your mouth.

Fortunately, you can train your muscles and regain your speech clarity.

Try this:

  • Initially, read aloud for a few minutes each day.
  • Moreover, practise in front of a mirror for added confidence.
  • Eventually, your tongue, lips, and cheeks will adjust.

With daily effort, you’ll sound just like yourself again in no time.

Learn to Eat with Ease

Eating with dentures is another skill you’ll build over time. To start, focus on soft foods that are easy to chew. Gradually, you can return to your usual diet.

Here’s how:

  • First, eat soft foods like chopped meat and tender vegetables.
  • Then, chew slowly and take small bites.
  • Also, chew evenly on both sides of your mouth to distribute pressure.

When you’re ready for harder foods – like apples or corn on the cob – adjust your biting technique.

Helpful tip: With natural teeth, you pull forward while biting. However, with dentures, try pushing back slightly. This creates leverage that helps keep your dentures in place.

Emergency Denture Repairs

Sleeping with Dentures – What to Know

While many patients sleep with their dentures, it’s important to understand what works best for your comfort.

  • If you grind your teeth at night, it’s better to remove them.
  • On the other hand, sleeping without them may strain your facial muscles.
  • In some cases, you may even find them on your pillow in the morning!

In short, there’s no wrong choice – just what feels best for you. Most people adjust within a few nights.

When to Seek Emergency Denture Repairs

Even with proper care, accidents can happen. That’s why it’s important to recognise the signs that you need emergency denture repair.

Look out for:

  • Cracked or chipped dentures
  • Increased discomfort or soreness
  • Loose-fitting dentures that shift while eating or talking

In such cases, don’t wait. Acting quickly can prevent further damage and discomfort.

At Denture Square, we offer:

  • 1-hour emergency denture repairs
  • 2–3 hour denture relines
  • Fast, compassionate care when you need it most

Cleaning Your Dentures

Cleaning Dentures

Removable partial or full dentures require proper care to maintain them clean, free from stains and looking their best. For good denture care:

  • Remove and rinse dentures after eating. Rinse with water over your dentures to remove food debris and other particles. You may need to place a towel on the counter or in the sink or put some water in the sink so the dentures won’t break if you drop them.
  • Handle your dentures carefully. Make sure you don’t bend or damage the plastic or the clasps when cleaning.
    denture repair service
Denture Repair Service
  • Clean your mouth after removing your dentures. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush on natural teeth and gauze or a soft toothbrush to clean your tongue, cheeks and roof of your mouth (palate).
  • Brush your dentures at least daily. Gently clean your dentures daily by soaking and brushing with a nonabrasive denture cleanser to remove food, plaque and other deposits. If you use denture adhesive, clean the grooves that fit against your gums to remove any remaining adhesive. Do not use denture cleansers inside your mouth.
  • Soak dentures overnight. Most types of dentures need to remain moist to keep their shape. Place the dentures in water or a mild denture-soaking solution overnight. Check with your denture professionals about storing your dentures overnight. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on cleaning and soaking solutions.

Northside Brisbane Denture Repair

Denture Repairs Near Me | Emergency Dental Repair

Dentures break. It’s natural. But fixing them the right way is essential. That’s where Northside Brisbane Denture Repair steps in.

At Denture Square in Arana Hills, we know how vital your smile is. So, when your dentures crack, chip, or feel loose – don’t wait. And most importantly, don’t fix them yourself.

Why Professional Denture Repair Matters

Eventually, all dentures wear down. It’s not your fault – it’s time. However, doing the wrong repair can cause serious issues.

Let’s look at a few real dangers of home repairs:

  • Infection risk: Poor repairs can hurt gum tissue.
  • Oral pain: Misalignment causes soreness.
  • Unstable bite: Eating becomes hard – or even dangerous.

Even small cracks may become worse if not treated correctly. So, instead of risking more damage, trust the Northside Brisbane Denture Repair team to handle it right.

What Makes Denture Square Different?

At Denture Square, we fix all kinds of issues. From tiny chips to full relines, our team treats each job with care. We use advanced tools, safe materials, and skilled techniques.

We also:

  • Avoid shortcuts.
  • Reuse quality denture parts, where possible.
  • Make repairs that last.

How Denture Repairs Work

Most denture repairs fall into three main types:

  1. Relining: When the fit is loose, we reshape the base to match your gums.
  2. Rebasing: We replace the entire base but keep the teeth.
  3. Remaking: When damage is too deep, we create a new denture.

All steps are done in a clean, safe clinic – never at home.

Why You Shouldn't Try Fixing It Yourself

You may be tempted to try super glue. Or use a cheap denture repair kit. But here’s the truth:

  • DIY kits can damage dentures permanently.
  • Bending wires or forcing parts back together will weaken the structure.
  • Wrong glue can be toxic and harm oral tissues.

Instead, if you’re stuck in an emergency, reach out to Denture Square. We offer emergency denture repair services for Brisbane Northside residents. Quick, professional, and affordable.

How Long Should Dentures Last?

Most dentures last about 5 to 7 years. However, age changes the gums, jawbones, and even facial shape.

Regular check-ups ensure they stay effective. Every few years, a follow-up visit can:

  • Catch issues early.
  • Improve the fit.
  • Prevent discomfort.

Can People See You're Wearing Dentures?

Not if they’re made well. Today’s dentures look natural. In fact, most people can’t even tell. When made and maintained properly, modern dentures mimic real teeth perfectly.

That’s why regular repairs and check-ups matter. They keep your dentures:

  • Invisible.
  • Comfortable.
  • Functional.

When Should Dentures Be Replaced?

While good dentures can last up to 10 years, they don’t last forever.

Here’s why replacing is important:

  • Old dentures trap bacteria.
  • They wear down slowly and become uncomfortable.
  • You risk infections or gum problems.

We recommend a full replacement every 7 to 10 years.

Denture Adhesives

denture-square brisbane arana hills

Best Adhesives for Dentures

Asking people which is the best dentures (denture) adhesive or the strongest denture adhesive is a bit like asking which is the best deodorant.

Every denture wearer has their own opinion. But denture adhesive reviews can help show which ones are worth looking at.
As a denture professional, I can tell you the best denture adhesives available that I know of. Then you need to try them out to see which one suits you best.

I am not a denture wearer myself, so I cannot give my personal experiences . However, I have been dealing with denture wearers for a while, and know from my own research which is the best denture adhesive.

Best Dentures in Brisbane

There are three basic Types of Denture Adhesives. They are the glue-like paste, powders and thin liners. Each has its own advantages, but those that are available in the form of a paste are most popular among denture users. These are produced by major denture accessory manufactures and are sold in a tube much like toothpaste. Paste adhesives come in many flavors and strength, providing denture wearers with a wide choice of specific factors. The paste is used by squeezing a small portion from the tube into the indents of the dentures before fitting them to the gum. Not all brands of denture adhesive pastes are rated for their quality and strength.

They are all quite similar in their composition, providing the essential security of wearing your dentures. The one that you choose will depend on your preference of flavor, texture and brand. Everyone has their unique needs and hence specific recommendations. However, regardless of which type of denture adhesive you have used before, any of the four types listed will assure your peace of mind.

Remember! They are all only Temporary solutions for your ill-fitting dentures.
You will need to visit denture clinic for reline services to avoid gum damages.

Please contact us for a Free Consultation regarding your ill-fitting dentures.

Denture Maintaining Tips by Denture Maintenance Clinic

Maintaining Dentures

Cleaning your Dentures

Right ways for cleaning your dentures will make them feel and look great! And being one of the reputed denture management clinic we offers the best in town.

To reduce levels of biofilm and potentially harmful bacteria and fungi, dentures should be

  1. Soaked and brush the dentures daily with an effective, nonabrasive denture cleansers.
  2. Cleaned OUTSIDE of the mouth.
  3. Always rinsed the dentures thoroughly after using any denture cleansing solution, before placing them back in your mouth.
  4. Moisturised all the time
  5. Soaked dentures in solutions containing sodium hypochlorite bleach for more than 10 minutes.
  6. Store dentures immersed in water when they are not in the mouth, to avoid warping.

How to clean your dentures.(maintaining dentures)

Some studies indicate that using an effervescent cleaner is a superior way to clean a denture. If you use a brush to clean the denture be aware that the abrasiveness of denture cleansing pastes can cause roughness on the surface of the denture. This can allow more bacteria to adhere to your denture.
Of the immersion products available, sodium hypochlorite (bleach) may be the most effective, but only when used properly (10 minutes maximum of soaking). Studies have shown that it can kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a major pathogen in the immunocompromised patient.
Another way to clean dentures is with Ultrasonic devices. These work by producing ultrasonic sound waves (20-120 kilohertz) which create microscopic bubbles that grow and implode. Materials adhering to the denture are loosened and removed by this action. Denture Square have one of these in our onsite dental laboratory.

Wearing My Dentures in bed

Wearing Dentures

Wearing Dentures

This is a very common concern. To start with, wearing dentures brings many benefits. They help people eat better, speak clearly, and smile confidently.

At the same time, there are some downsides. To begin with, dentures press against your gums. Because of that, the bone underneath starts to shrink. This process is called resorption.

Eventually, bone loss reduces support for your dentures. As a result, they become loose and may fall out. In addition, constant pressure affects your face. Over time, the lips and cheeks lose support. Therefore, your appearance may change noticeably.

Risks of Poor Denture Hygiene

Meanwhile, poor denture hygiene can cause problems. The bottom surface traps bacteria and fungi. Consequently, this leads to irritation and infection. On top of that, sleeping with dentures is harmful.

Studies show it increases several health risks. For instance, you may experience:

  • Tongue and denture plaque
  • Swollen gums
  • Thrush (Candida albicans)
  • Higher infection markers (interleukin-6)

What Should You Do?

Ideally, remove your dentures before bed. That way, your gums can rest and heal.

Along with this, follow a solid cleaning routine:

  • Clean your dentures every day
  • Brush your gums, tongue, and any teeth

By doing so, you’ll stay healthier overall.
