As a new Denture wearer, here are some great tips to getting you started from a dentist. Lower Dentures usually tend to take more time for you to become adjusted to than your upper dentures. You might occasionally bite your cheeks or tongue until you become used to having them in. It could even take two to six weeks for you to learn how to speak with them properly. A great way to practice is by reading out loud or in standing in front of your mirror and talking. Your tongue could feel restricted and want to move around in your mouth but it will adjust to the new dentures. For you to get accustomed to chewing with your new dentures, start on a liquid diet with easy to chew or soft foods is best. You should cut your food into small pieces and remember to take small bites. Eating slowly is best. You should put even amounts of food on both sides of your mouth this will help you balance biting forces, while you are chewing, which will keep those dentures stabilized while you are chewing. The longer it takes for you to eat your meals, the better off you will be at learning to eat with your new dentures. Remember to drink plenty of fluids every time you eat. Avoid any hard, chewy foods. Rather then directly from the front would be helpful for you to chew off bits of food from the side.
