While myths can be entertaining, some can also keep you from taking action if you believe them to be true. Nothing proves this more than dental myths! The \u201cdreaded\u201d root canal therapy?  You may delay the treatment because of the fear of pain but it has been found the majority of people experience very low levels of discomfort. Chewing sugarless gum is comparable to brushing your teeth? Nope\u2026gum is definitely not a replacement for a toothbrush! Dentures<\/a> have their own collection of widely believed myths. Your dentist is here to bust four common myths about them so you can feel confident if you ever need this treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Dentures are unreliable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the top myths about dentures. In the past 30 years, advanced technology has made dentures more reliable than ever. Now dental prosthetics are made with better materials, which increases their durability and functionality. They are custom-made for you, so they are able to fit your mouth comfortably. Clasps or natural suction help to keep your dentures in place on your gums. They can even be secured with dental implants. This eliminates any slipping and restores more of your natural bite power. Myth busted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. You can wear your dentures all day and night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While prosthetics give you a complete, confident smile once again, you can\u2019t keep them in 24 hours in a row. Unless you have fixed dentures (ones that are attached to dental implants), you will need to take them out to soak overnight. Removal is important because it gives your gums a chance to relax without constant pressure. Without giving your mouth a break from your prosthetics, your gums can become sore and swollen. Brushing and soaking your dentures also ensures great oral health and helps them to last as long as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Dentures are unattractive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone wants a picture-perfect smile! The dentures of yesteryear were noticeably different from natural teeth. Now, they have a very lifelike appearance. Gone are the cookie-cutter prosthetics; custom-made dentures are now made to complement your facial features. Today\u2019s dentures can give you a beautiful and <\/em>fully functional smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. You don\u2019t have to visit your dentist as often with dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you have a partial denture or a full smile replacement, you will still need to visit your dentist for your bi-yearly checkups and exams. They will want to make sure your prosthetic is still fitting comfortably and your gums are healthy. Preventive appointments are important for your oral health to be able to catch any problems in the early stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dentures are a wonderful tooth replacement option for many people. By replacing fact with fiction, you can feel ensure that they\u2019ll provide a confident and lifelike smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
