Speaking

 

Dentures Albany Creek

Speaking may seem strange or even difficult at first. This is because your tongue has to learn where the teeth are. It is a good idea to read aloud to yourself for short periods during the first few days. Take occasional sips of water from a glass, as reading aloud will make your mouth feel dry. There is no need to be embarrassed about speaking; other people are much less aware of the awkwardness than you are. This is because your own voice doesn’t sound the same to other people as it does to you. This is because your own voice doesn’t sound the same to other people as it does to you. When you hear yourself speak, most of the sound reaches your ears by means of vibrations in the bones of the jaw and skull, this varies from the sound that travels through the air in the ordinary way. Therefore, any small changes become much more noticeable to the speaker than to anyone else. (Dentures Albany Creek)

 

Taste

Patients frequently report that the sense of taste is affected when they first wear dentures. They sometimes think that this is caused by the palate being covered by the dentures. In fact, taste buds are only present on the tongue, not in the palate. There are two reasons why food seems to lose some of it’s taste: First the feeling of the food being squashed against the palate is lost; second although the taste buds are working quite normally, the message they send to the brain is interrupted by the large number of sensory nerves in the mouth, telling the brain that a strange new object is in the mouth. As you become more accustomed to your dentures your brain pays less attention to these messages from the sensory nerves. When this happens, food regains its taste.

First Impressions

The teeth on your dentures have been placed as near as possible to the exact position you natural teeth occupied. This will support your lips and cheeks and give you as natural an appearance as possible. You can expect to undergo a period of awkwardness while getting used to the dentures. Your first reaction may be that you have suddenly acquired a tremendous mouthful and that your lips are being pushed forward excessively by teeth that seem too big.(Dentures Bridgeman Downs) This should not worry you, because the feeling of fullness will soon wear off as you become accustomed to the new dentures in you mouth.

You may think that because they feel very big to you, they will appear big to others. This is not so and there should be no need for embarrassment. You may have a feel of gagging or excessive salivation, but after you have worn the dentures for a short time, these sensations will disappear. While you are learning to use your new dentures, it is necessary to have patience. Control of your dentures may be difficult at first, but gradually it will be automatic. The time required to become accustomed to new dentures varies considerably with each individual: some master their dentures in a very short time; others require weeks of patience to do so. It usually takes an average of four to eight weeks to become fully accustomed to your new dentures.

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.
