Unfortunately, there are a few occasions when removable teeth can become loose no matter how well you look after them. Some of the reasons you may have loose dentures include:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Everyday wear and tear<\/li>    <li>Inappropriate denture cleaners<\/li>    <li>Damage from chewing hard or chewy foods<\/li>    <li>Bone reabsorption<\/li>    <li>Time spent fitting and adjusting new NHS dentures<\/li> <\/ul>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bone reabsorption<\/h3>    <p>The most common reason for loose dentures is bone reabsorption. This is where your <strong>gums shrink<\/strong> and change shape as the jawbone reabsorbs bone. This happens because you no longer have tooth roots in the gum, so the jawbone ceases making new cells.<\/p>    <p>If your false teeth were already uncomfortable, this problem might have been exacerbated by the pressure from your false teeth sitting on the gums.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Everyday wear and tear<\/h3>    <p>Loose dentures due to everyday wear and tear are also common. Partial and full dentures can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dental-nursing.co.uk\/features\/denture-hygiene-why-when-and-how\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">damaged if cleaned incorrectly<\/a> or left to soak in denture cleaner too long.

Make sure to use lukewarm water so they don&#8217;t change shape during your cleaning routine.<\/p>    <p>Different types of false teeth might need to be cleaned carefully, such as false teeth with metal clasps, so as not to break them.

This means waiting for your mouth and gums heal. Until then, you will be given temporary removable teeth to fill the gaps left by your missing teeth.<\/p>    <p>When you have healed completely, you will be fitted for your permanent dentures. The process of fitting and adjusting removable teeth can take time and patience.<\/p>    <p>The dentist must first get an impression of your teeth which may take more than one attempt to get perfect. Then, once your dentures are complete, it is especially important to point out anything that doesn&#8217;t feel right so adjustments can be made.<\/p>    <p>Don&#8217;t be afraid to ask for a lot of adjustments, it&#8217;s important that you get the fit right so that you can avoid future problems with your oral health.
