Dentures should feel secure and comfortable. If the fit changes over time, it may be time for an adjustment.
1. They Feel Loose or Slip
If your dentures move or slip while eating, speaking, or smiling, the fit may no longer be ideal.
2. They Cause Sore Spots or Irritation
Persistent pain, tenderness, or gum irritation may mean your dentures are putting too much pressure on certain areas.
3. They Feel Uncomfortable
If your dentures no longer feel as comfortable as they once did, have them evaluated. A simple adjustment may help restore a better fit.
Don’t let loose or uncomfortable dentures affect your daily life. If you notice these signs, schedule a dental evaluation to see if an adjustment is right for you.
