Adjusting to dentures can take some time, but Posh Smiles can help you through the process. Here are a few helpful tips from Dr. Baftechi to help you get used to the fit and feel of your new replacement teeth:
Tips for Adjusting to Dentures
- Start Slowly — Wear your dentures a few hours a day at first. As you adjust, gradually increase the time you spend wearing them.
- Practice Speaking — Reading aloud or speaking in front of a mirror can help you gain confidence and adjust to speaking with dentures.
- Eat Soft Foods — Eating may be one of the more difficult aspects of adjusting to dentures, but soon, you'll be enjoying all your favorite foods again. Start with soft foods that are easy to chew, such as scrambled eggs or mashed potatoes, and slowly introduce harder foods as you become more comfortable and confident.
