Sugar in the mouth can relieve the discomfort of the newly worn denture:

          Kenneth, dental director, Ann Arbor health center, Michigan, USA. Dr Ian suggests that during the first few weeks of using a denture, a candy bar in your mouth can help you through the discomfort of just wearing it.

          Dr Ian introduced that when the teeth were just worn, the mouth would mistake the dentures as the food in the mouth, and then saliva would help digest it. This situation should continue until the mouth conforms to the existence of the denture. During this period, the mouth often contains a candy, which can make the mouth often swallow, to eliminate the excessive saliva in the mouth. For the elderly with chronic diseases and not too much sugar, they can contain a jujube in their mouth, and they can also achieve satisfactory results.

          In addition, Hu Yundong, a dental expert at Peking Union Hospital, introduced that the elderly who had just worn dentures had better use of both teeth at the same time when eating; The dentures should be cleaned every night and soaked in cold water; If the gums under the denture are found to be swollen and inflamed, and the tongue, gum or buccal cavity are showing pale white ulcers, they should go to the hospital for further consultation in time, and ask the doctor to assist in adjusting the denture.
