How long is the service life of removable dentures?

Precautions for using removable dentures:

First of all, removable dentures have less chewing function than natural teeth. It's best not to eat hard food, such as sugarcane and bones. The stability of removable dentures is not as good as that of natural teeth. Don't eat sticky food such as glutinous rice balls and butterscotch.

Second, when you just put on your dentures, you will often feel uncomfortable, such as unclear speech, increased saliva and even nausea. In this case, there is no need to be nervous and impatient. After a few days, you will get used to it.

Third, the denture with clasp should be worn in the right direction, and the clasp should not be deformed by strong push and pull.

Fourth, dentures should be worn in the mouth during the day. After wearing dentures, it is easy to attach a large number of harmful bacteria such as Candida albicans, and their reproduction will lead to oral inflammation and odor. It is suggested to take it off after meals and use some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory things, such as mouthwash and toothpaste, which can effectively prevent and treat oral diseases.

Generally speaking, the function and aesthetics are not as good as implant dentures and fixed dentures, and they often have foreign body sensation, which requires special cleaning every day and replacement after several years.
