Points to note about wearing dentures |

Initially it may be difficult to get used to a new denture like feeling nausea, but you will soon be accustomed to it after wearing it for a period of time.

If the discomfort persists, you should go to see the dentist who may check the denture and further adjust it if needed. Such that you can wear it more comfortably.

Since oral conditions may change with time, a denture may gradually become loose and unfit. Therefore, a regular dental check-up is necessary, so that the dentist can check the denture and adjust it according to the oral condition.
