Modern dentures<\/a> have come a very long way in recent years. They\u2019re now so incredibly realistic that it\u2019s easy to forget that you\u2019re wearing them, or that they aren\u2019t your natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as with any kind of dental work, you should be aware that your prosthetic won\u2019t last forever. Eventually they\u2019ll succumb to daily wear, and you\u2019ll need to replace them to keep them functioning reliably. Here are some signs that you may need to do that soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Visible Damage to the Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, if your dentures have any signs of obvious wear and tear, that\u2019s a good indicator that you\u2019re going to have to replace or repair them soon. It\u2019s typically a good idea to deal with these kinds of issues early, before they start to become serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you can look at your dentures on your own, a professional\u2019s eye for damage will be much sharper than yours. For that reason, it\u2019s a good idea to see your dentist often for checkups so that they can check the integrity of your prosthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overusing Denture Adhesive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s pretty common for people with dentures to need a little bit of denture adhesive to help their prosthetic stay in place. Most of the time, you shouldn\u2019t need any more than a few pea-sized drops to hold the prosthetic secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you notice that you\u2019re really glomming it on in order to keep your prosthetic in place, it\u2019s usually a good idea to talk to your dentist about relining or replacing your dentures. It may be the case that your prosthetic has broken or that your gums have shrunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Notice An Increase in Denture Sores<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you remember back to when you first got your dentures, you\u2019re probably plenty familiar with denture sores. As you get used to wearing your prosthetic you\u2019re likely to experience fewer and fewer of them, but after a few decades, you could notice them start to crop up again. This is because dentures that don\u2019t fit tend to irritate the gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve noticed that your gums have started to develop sores to a greater extent than before, you may need to talk to your dentist about whether there are issues with your prosthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
