While tooth loss may seem like a small problem compared
with other health ad fitness issues, it is often the first sign of bigger
health problems for many people and can put them at higher risk for heart
disease and oral cancer. When dentures don’t properly fit, bacteria can lie in
areas behind them and lead to bone disease and oral cancer. Oral Cancer is
probably one of the least known forms, but the American Cancer Society reports
that there will be approximately 30,000 new cases diagnosed this year alone.
Then there is Heart Disease, which has been linked to gum disease. When
dentures do not fit correctly, you have a higher chance of gum disease. The
reason you must be aware of these concerns is because dentures are causing more
problems than just being uncomfortable and unattractive.
A better solution--using dental implants to either firmly
fix the dentures. If you want the most natural looking teeth and want
to restore you ability to chew again implants can even completely replace the
denture with "almost new" teeth that never come out, feel natural,
smell better, and will allow you to chew "like a teenager" again!
