It\u2019s early in the morning, and as you\u2019re getting ready\nfor work, you grab your dentures from their nightly soak, and while rinsing\nthem off, you accidentally drop one. You try to catch it, but it hits the floor\nand breaks. Deciding to use a sick day because you don\u2019t want to go to work\nwith only the lower half of your dentures, you call your dentist to see what\ncan be done. In situations like this one, it\u2019s easy to tell when you need your dentures in Rockville<\/a>\nrepaired; however, not all instances are so blatantly obvious. Here are 4\nwarning signs you may need to have your dentures adjusted or repaired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Chip Off the Ol\u2019 Block: Chipped or Cracked Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to drop or step on your dentures for them to\nbreak or become damaged. Even some of the smallest accidents can cause chips or\ncracks in your dentures. Each time one of these little incidents happen, it\nwears away at your dentures and can create uneven surfaces. These less-than-smooth\nareas can rub and create problems for the soft tissues in your mouth (cheeks,\ntongue). If you opt to have them repaired quickly, you\u2019ll be saving yourself\nthe headache of getting a full denture replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Stinks? Stains or Bad Breath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not properly caring for your dentures in\nRockville, it can lead to bacteria growth and lingering odors. No one wants bad\nbreath, so if after a thorough cleaning you continue to notice a\nless-than-appealing aroma, call your dentist to have it checked out. It\u2019s also\nimportant to note that stains on your dentures will require a repair. Most\npeople don\u2019t want others to know they\u2019re wearing dentures, but if surface\nstains begin to show, you can bet others will notice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Do I Look Like That? Facial Changes <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the type of dentures you receive (traditional,\npartial, or implant-supported dentures), your facial shape should remain the\nsame. These restorations are meant to give you a natural look and feel;\nhowever, if you notice changes to your jaw or cheek, you may need to speak to\nyour dentist about a denture adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something Doesn\u2019t Feel Right: Denture Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Good quality dentures should always mean a good fit and no\ndiscomfort; however, that\u2019s not always the case. Even great dentures can\nsometimes be uncomfortable. If your jaw becomes sore, you notice sores\nthroughout your mouth, or you experience uneven pressure on your gums, talk to\nyour dentist immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment you notice changes or problems relating to your\ndentures, call your dentist and schedule an appointment. It\u2019s important to\naddress any of these issues early to prevent more extensive restoration repairs\nor adjustments in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
