Fit is key when it comes to how comfortable your dentures are. If you have traditional, removable dentures, you’ll want to have them adjusted occasionally if they start to slide as your gums will become irritated.
Whether you’re a first-time denture-wearer or you’re receiving a new set, your dentures may always feel a little awkward at first, before they feel normal. Some of the common issues with new dentures are excessive saliva, soreness, and a feeling of fullness in the mouth.
When you first get dentures, you may want to stick with soft foods while you get adjusted to eating with them then, gradually start incorporating harder foods. Just be sure to stay away from gum and other sticky substances.
