New Denture Patients
Patients who have entered the denture journey may experience all sorts of difficulties and problems. Patients may realise that they are unable to make particular noises and sounds, vocally. Patients who do find speaking difficult after the denture has been positioned, should most definitely practice their specking skills. The approach to this minor and fixable problem is to, speak quietly, slowly and fluently, which will allow the patient to gradually get their tongue around the specific words. Other practice exercises are, slowly repeat difficult words that bring trouble to the patient, read aloud, and sound out words slowly. With these exercises taken on board by the patient, they will also help to keep dentures from clicking and clacking whilst speaking, and within time, the patient will no longer have the embarrassing problem apparent.
The adjustment period (up to six months after the dental appliance has been placed), the patient is still under going treatment from their dental prosthetist. The term of this period will differ according to the patient’s mouth conditions, general state of health, age, sensitivity attitude, and the ability to become accustomed to their new appliance. As required, your dental prosthetist will be able to examine the fit and function of your dental appliance and the weather there is harmony with your natural jaw dimensional positions and movements.
NB: We promise to assure you that we would never send you home with new dental appliances unless we are satisfied that they fit you accurately.
