How dentures can impact your oral health...


Your mouth is a sophisticated mechanism, in which every element works in unison to ensure its important functions occur smoothly, healthily and with no irritation or damage. When you wear dentures, saliva - one of the most crucial of these elements - is unable to play its natural protective role which is why denture adhesives are so important.

Removes food particles


With natural teeth
Saliva works to prevent food particles from getting trapped around your teeth.

Trapped food particles


With dentures
When you wear dentures, food particles can get stuck in the parts of your mouth that saliva can’t reach. Not only is it painful, but the particles may decompose and cause bad breath. As a consequence, you may think that you need to avoid certain food or you may have to go rinse your dentures several times per day.

Natural anti-bacterial action


With natural teeth
Natural antibacterial agents in your saliva can prevent infections and bad breath.

Bad breath

With dentures
Your dentures can sometimes prevent saliva from applying its natural antibacterial action. As a result bacteria can proliferate more easily, causing bad breath.

Oral health and the impact of dentures

Sooths minor irritation


With natural teeth
Saliva keeps your mouth moist, clean and comfortable to help prevent sore gums.

Micro-Movements on the gum tissue


With dentures
There may be parts of your mouth that saliva cannot reach to lubricate when you wear dentures. This means that barely perceptible micro-movements when you speak can cause the dentures to wear against the dry gum area, causing irritation and sore spots.
