\"Dentures<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You\u2019ll likely want to use dentures<\/a> often when you first get them. After all, doing so will keep your smile full and beautiful! Still, you shouldn\u2019t wear these prosthetic teeth constantly. It\u2019s actually risky to keep them in your mouth for too long. That being said, you may wonder: \u201cJust how long can I wear dentures?\u201d Well, never fear \u2013 your local Los Angeles dentist has the answer. Here, then, is how long you can wear dentures daily and the risks of overusing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Long Can You Wear Dentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In reality, dentures aren\u2019t meant for 24\/7 use. You should only wear them during the day and into the evening. From there, it\u2019s best to remove the appliance before bed and store it in a denture cleansing solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, your mouth needs about six to eight hours of daily rest from dentures. This period allows its tissues to recover for the day of use ahead. Furthermore, a few hours of soaking means the dentures are clean when you next wear them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the Risks of Constant Denture Use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you try to wear dentures constantly, you\u2019ll put your health at serious risk. In particular, you\u2019re likely to face the following issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unhealthy Mouth Tissues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When continually covered by dentures, soft mouth tissues become unhealthy. For example, they\u2019ll be susceptible to bacterial growth \u2013 a problem that causes disease and bad breath. Similarly, they could develop denture stomatitis. This latter condition causes red, swollen gums and a painful burning sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respiratory Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the risks aren\u2019t just mouth-related; constant denture use can also result in respiratory problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wear dentures while sleeping, you\u2019ll expose your mouth and throat to its bacteria. You\u2019d then raise your odds of catching colds, respiratory infections, and pneumonia. That last illness is especially threatening, as this pneumonia can be deadlier if you don\u2019t remove dentures before bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accelerated Bone Loss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t know, dentures pressure the gum tissue and bony ridges that support them. Such force can be managed when your mouth gets to rest, but things change if it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, constant denture pressure accelerates bone resorption. This latter process leads to a strong decrease in bone quantity and density. Left unchecked, it\u2019ll eventually cause your dentures to lose support and not fit correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, \u201cHow long can I wear dentures?\u201d is an important question with a crucial answer. Make sure to remove the appliance at night, then, to avoid the risks above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
