Post-OpINSTRUCTIONS
Initial Adjustment:
Expect an adjustment period after receiving new dentures at Smile Studio 87. Common challenges include altered speech and a feeling of fullness in the mouth.
Eating Recommendations:
Start with soft foods cut into small pieces. Chew slowly using both sides of your mouth to keep your dentures secure.
Speaking Practice:
Read aloud and repeat challenging words to help you adjust to speaking clearly with new dentures.
Oral Hygiene:
Clean your dentures after every meal with a soft brush and denture cleaner. Avoid toothpaste, which can be abrasive to denture materials.
Night Care:
Remove your dentures at night to give your gums a rest. Soak them in a denture cleaning solution or water to prevent drying out.
Handling Sore Spots:
If you experience sore spots, rinse your mouth with saltwater and contact Smile Studio 87 in Woodridge, IL for possible denture adjustments.
Regular Check-Ups:
Schedule regular appointments to adjust your dentures and monitor the health of your gums and mouth.
Avoiding Damage:
Handle your dentures carefully and store them safely when not in use to prevent accidental drops or damage.
