Broken Dentures
Many people rely on dentures to replace some or all of their teeth and help them to speak and eat normally. However, this restorative device is not indestructible. Dentures can break at any time and anywhere. You should be prepared to know what to do in case of such an unfortunate event.
Denture failure is not a serious health risk, but when it happens, you will want to get them repaired as soon as possible to avoid the inconvenience and potential embarrassment of not being having a full set of teeth.
Top Causes of Broken Dentures
Dentures break for various reasons. Here are some reasons for denture failure:
- Wear and tear over time. If you have been using your dentures for several years, they have already undergone countless cycles of chewing and daily wear.
- Consuming very hot and cold food, as well as, acidic items can also wear down your denture.
- Ill-fitting dentures may move around the mouth, causing stress and pressure points, which can result in cracking or breaking of your denture.
- Accidental or incidental breakage. This is one of the most common causes of broken dentures.
Don’t Repair Dentures on Your Own
You might have a denture repair kit available in your house, but using it to repair your broken dentures might not be very effective. The success of using this kit is limited and often results in further repairs being more difficult. If you try to repair your denture with this kit at home or use store-bought glue and adhesives, your dentist may not be able to repair it properly. Proper repair of dentures takes expert knowledge and skills, and this includes the techniques and materials to be used.
