Dentures Help Manage Oral Frailty

Oral frailty, often seen in older adults, involves reduced oral health and function, which can impact overall well-being. Dentures play a crucial role in managing oral frailty. Well-fitting dentures help maintain proper chewing ability, improve speech, and support facial structure, which can contribute to better nutrition and quality of life. However, if dentures are not properly fitted or maintained, they can exacerbate oral frailty by causing discomfort, making eating and speaking difficult, and potentially leading to additional oral health issues like sores or infections. Regular dental check-ups are essential to ensure dentures address and not worsen oral frailty.
