Many people believe that dentures last forever but the reality
is that they need to be serviced regularly and replaced about
every five years. Wearing the same dentures for more than five
years without having them checked can result in; softening of
the gums, painful and irritated gums, accelerated bone loss,
more laborious chewing and difficult digestion and a crumpled
mouth. It can also lead to headaches, ear aches, neck pain and
joint problems as well as a whole host of other issues. Regular
consultation with your denturist to have your dentures checked
and cleaned may prevent problems in the future.
