Dentures

By exportuser2

There is usually an adjustment period with new dentures. When first eating, start with softer foods that aren’t too sticky. To help refine your speaking when you first get dentures, practice speaking or reading aloud at home.

This week’s “Here’s To Your Health” broadcasts provide details about dentures, also known as false teeth. Dentures are usually provided for someone who has severely damaged teeth. In some cases full dentures, or “plates” are needed, while at other times partials or bridges may suffice. To find out more about good dentures and dental health, or to schedule an appointment with our Dental Hygiene Clinic, please contact UAMS at 501-686-8000.
