When your denture breaks, it is essential that you remove your dentures from your mouth, especially if they have cracked.
If you retain the dentures in your mouth, you risk damaging your gums or palate or choking on a loose piece of the denture.
If your denture breaks during chewing, spit out the food and remove the denture immediately. Rinse your mouth with water and be careful not to swallow.
Gently wash your denture and book an appointment with us to have it repaired.
Is it possible to repair a deteriorated denture? The short answer to this is yes.
However, it entirely depends on how the dentures have damaged.
If a tooth is broken, cracked or has fallen out, then be wary of repairing dentures yourself at home.
Some denture repair kits may claim to fix cracks, but this is not true.
So, if your denture has cracked or split in half, you will need to book an emergency appointment with one of our trusted specialists to have them repaired.
Purchasing repair glue kits online only provide temporary stability to dentures.
In this situation to protect your oral condition and state, we recommend that you schedule an appointment with a dentist at your earliest convenience.
In this case of a missing tooth, it is essential not to ignore the problem. Often teeth fall out due to infection, decay, deterioration or trauma.
Once a tooth has fallen out then the condition of the mouth can deteriorate quite quickly and the formation of gum disease and the more serious periodontal disease are much more likely to appear.
As missing teeth encourage bacteria and infections to spread through the mouth, it is important to replace the missing tooth straight away before replacement methods, such as dental implants become more difficult to apply.
