A denture is a removable dental appliance that replaces missing teeth and gum tissue. Dentures are custom-created to resemble your natural teeth and are made to blend in with your smile. While dentures provide many benefits to patients with missing teeth, they sometimes break and require repairs.
What May Cause The Dentures To Break?
Sometimes, your dentures can break because of misuse or neglect. Here are a few reasons people break their dentures:
- Biting into hard foods: You should only use your dentures for soft foods and avoid using them for chewing on non-food items (like fingernails). Hard foods can crack the denture base or even bend it out of shape.
- Dropping them on the floor: Always use a towel or small tissue box to gently place your dentures inside when they are not being worn. Dropping them on a hard surface can cause them to crack and even split apart.
- Not cleaning them regularly: If you don't clean your dentures on a regular basis, they can start collecting bacteria that can be tough to clean off. Leaving these bacteria in place for too long can lead to infections that cause inflammation in the gums and weaken your jaw bones. This can lead to more broken or cracked dentures.
- Improper fit: If the dentures are ill-fitting - either too loose or too tight, they are prone to break.
