We normally associate dentures with old people because they are
the ones we usually see wearing them. There are a many reasons why people are
reduced to wearing dentures according to the studies. Some lose their teeth
because of poor oral hygiene and neglect, others are victims of accidents; the
one thing that has always been constant is the fact that dentures are the most
common method of replacing lost teeth. While we see dentures as the practical
choice for most cases, the advent of dental implants just may cause you to have
a change of heart.
Those some people who wear dentures are apprehensive about, and
even refuse to eat sticky and hard to chew foods; most of them settle for a
soft diet and cannot enjoy many of their favorite treats. Dentures should also
be removed each night and they are easily misplaced. Slippage of dentures is also possible when
you are eating, or talking to other people causing embarrassment and
depression. Compared to dental implants, dentures can make eating more
difficult. Discomfort is one of the primary concerns of denture wearers and
some amount of pain also comes with eating. This is because dentures are prone
to slip if not secured, causing superficial damage to the skin.
