It is now February
Here are some thoughts for your bucket list regarding your dentures. Loose fitting, ill fitting, stained, over 10 years old perhaps.
Would you expect a set of tyres on your car to last this span of time?
Are you getting sore spots and food under them? This is probably causing you some aggravation and annoyance.
Denture fixative is only, in reality, a short-term fix. When did you have your soft tissues in your mouth checked? Ill-fitting dentures combined with the medication you may be taking for other things can also cause problems.
A very well polished cliché, is ‘a stitch in time saves nine’ do you have a yearly soft tissue examination? I cannot emphasise enough how important this yearly check is.
The dentures and the rest of your body age, just like our cars and dentures (and cars) need a regular check-up.
Let's do a quick update of the range of things I provide – full dentures, upper and lower denture repairs, relines and additions (meaning teeth to existing dentures) and soft linings for lower dentures.
Partial dentures, plastic and metal types have to be on prescription from a dental practitioner. You need a prescription if you have standing teeth. It is important that these structures, meaning teeth, need to be checked to see if they are sound.
You would not build a house on dodgy foundations, your mouth has to be healthy enough to withstand these partial dentures. PS when did you last scale and polish for example?
A dental prescription can be arranged from the practice I work from.
I have a clinic session one day a week and I'm always pleased to welcome you and all patients at the practice. Nigel Towner CDT RCS. CDT stands for clinical dental technician this person provides dentures of all types
