04Wearing your denture
When you first get your denture
- It feels strange and speech may be unclear at first — you'll adapt in 1–2 weeks
- Start with soft food cut into small pieces
- Rinse after every meal; take it out at night and keep it in water
- Don't use hot water or scrub hard with toothpaste (it scratches)
- If it rubs, don't grind it yourself — come in for an adjustment
- Check-ups every 6–12 months
