Remember to Take out Your Dentures Every Night

About Me

When I started wearing dentures, I took them out every night to clean and soak them like I was supposed to. After a while, I began falling asleep with them in every once in a while. I have always watched television before bed while I munched on some potato chips, and I often fell asleep on the couch without cleaning or removing my dentures. What started as occasionally forgetting to take them eventually turned into me wearing them every night. One day I noticed white patches inside my mouth, which was very alarming. My dentist told me I had gotten an infection from wearing my dentures too much. It went away with medicine, but it was a very uncomfortable experience. I created this blog to remind other people who wear dentures to remove them at night, or they may end up with an infection like I did.

However, when a dental implant is placed, it may be used for more than a single tooth replacement. Here are two ways that your dentist may use a dental implant: Read More

Can Your Dental Implants Go Bad?

The term "dental implant" doesn't actually refer to your replacement tooth. When synthetic teeth (or "dental crowns") are placed, they have to be attached to a sturdy base in order to remain secure and unmoving. This base is a small, cylindrical piece of metal that is implanted under the gum line and either into, or on top of, the jawbone. Although dental implants are designed to last a very long time, it is entirely possible for them to fail. Read More
