Techniques that speed up addiction to dentures

How can you get used to denturesSometimes, at the beginning of the adaptation period abrasions, swelling and sores on the gums, it is usually associated with improper donning of the removable design. To avoid injury to the oral cavity when wearing it, you must carefully consider the correct installation in the mirror.

In order to adapt to the implant was more successful and painless, doctors have developed a number of techniques. First two steps help cope with nausea.

  1. Breathe in your nose deeply. At the same time, suck up candy, swallowing excess saliva. This action will help to reduce the interval from the prosthesis to the point in the throat, which causes the gag reflex. If the mucous membrane is dry, then drink water.
  2. Rinse your mouth salt solution.
  3. Simple exercises can help get rid of the distortion of speech and bad diction. The first exercise is a slow reading out loud, at first quiet and effortless, then with a gradual increase in volume. You need to do three to five times a day for ten minutes. The second is the use of words, where there are more vowels and alternating consonants and vowels. Speak consonant sounds to return clear diction. Speakers with a lot of hard sounds are also used to restore diction.
  4. The taste sensation returns within three to four weeks. To speed up the process, you need to eat soft food in small pieces, holding it in your mouth.
  5. To avoid pain, do not eat hard and rough foods. After 2 weeks, the gums will develop a habit of prosthetics and get comfortable. Following this rule, the gums under the prosthesis will not be prone to injury. If the pain still exists, then try to massage the gums with fingertips.

  6. In order not to delay the process of habituation to a foreign body, the first 2-3 weeks do not remove the prosthesis at night. In the morning and in the evening, as usual, the denture should be removed and cleaned.

The adaptation period with these classes is 3 weeks, while without the use of exercises - a few months.

For quick addiction To a removable implant follow the following rules.

  1. Thoroughly clean the structure;
  2. During the mouth rinsing procedure, massage the gums;
  3. Regularly care for the oral cavity: rinse it with warm infusions and decoctions of various herbs, such as chamomile, calendula, sage and others. Thanks to these manipulations with herbs, it is possible to reduce inflammation, heal wounds, thus, it is easier to tolerate and reduce the time of adaptation to the implant.
  4. It is necessary to use various means of fixation of a removable implant, if it is mobile in the oral cavity. They prevent the appearance of edema and sore gums. Also contribute to the rapid addiction with a special structure of the jaw.

Individual intolerance

Individual problems with denturesIf all the rules of adaptation are observed, and the habit of wearing is not developed, then there is probably individual intolerance. Most doctors believe that "individual intolerance" is more is psychologicalthan dental Therefore, you need to choose: try to get used to the design or remain without it.

Thus, constant wearing dental implants accompanied by an adaptation period in which the body becomes accustomed to a foreign body in the mouth.

When is the addiction process complete?

  • Upon contact with the prosthesis, no irritation of the oral mucosa is observed;
  • The patient feels that he cannot do without a denture;
  • The design carrier psychologically accepts and realizes the need for its use and does not feel “defective”.

The installation of dental implants and adaptation to them are closely related and represent independent stages of prosthetics. Therefore, it is impossible to consider successful and complete the process of prosthetics, if the addiction to a foreign object has not taken place.

The period of adaptation, when installing dental prostheses, is considered a certain period of time, during which not only the adaptation to the structure occurs, but also ensures the high-quality functioning of the entire dental system.
