If not, that\u2019s okay! It\u2019s a common misconception. Your replacement teeth might not be made of enamel and dentin, but they can still attract bacteria and create problems in other ways. Keep reading, and you\u2019ll get a better idea of why it\u2019s so important to visit your dentist when you have full dentures!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Your Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned briefly, your dentures can still attract foul bacteria that could irritate your gums and other soft oral tissues. Consistent cleaning at home helps a lot, but it can\u2019t get rid of bacteria that has hardened into plaque. Needless to say, having bacteria build up and stick around in this form isn\u2019t good for your oral health! If you want to avoid gum disease and oral infections, then you\u2019d better visit your dentist biannually for a professional cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To Get a Checkup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you stop by for a cleaning appointment, your dentist can also run a quick checkup of your mouth. It\u2019s true that dentures can\u2019t develop cavities, but your gums can still develop gum disease. Regular checkups give your dentist the opportunity to catch problems like gum disease earlier on, when they\u2019re still relatively easy to treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adjusting Your Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you first get your dentures, they\u2019re made to fit as snugly as possible. However, as time goes on, your jawbone and oral tissue shift, and your dentures start to take on some wear and tear. Basically, the shape of your mouth starts to change, and your dentures might need readjusted so that they fit better and more comfortably. It can be difficult for patients to notice these gradual changes, but your dentist will be able to tell right away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helping Your Dentures Last<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, these check-ins and tune-ups help your dentures stand against the test of time. Without consistent professional cleaning and adjustments, they\u2019re likely to become stained, develop a foul odor, and require replacements much faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all of the holidays coming up, you and your dentures might be exposed to more oral health hazards than usual. If you haven\u2019t squeezed in a second appointment for the year, now\u2019s the time! That way you\u2019ll for sure that your dentures are ready for sweet treats and quality time with the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northjacksonvillecompletedentistry.com\/about-us.html\">North Jacksonville Complete Dentistry<\/a>, we have three excellent dentists on staff who are each committed to providing patients with the best care possible.
