Should I get removable dentures if I’ve lost all my teeth?
Tooth loss is inextricably linked to genetics and maintenance, and inadequate maintenance has a more serious effect on tooth loss.
Once a tooth is in a semi-loose, semi-detached state, even if no major loss occurs at that point, our teeth will not continue to work as well as they once did.
In fact, from the scientific level, the teeth to be higher than our life expectancy, but because of our acquired care is not in place, which led to many people in less than 50 years of age began to appear teeth loss, and 60 years of age after the teeth basically fell out, to bring a great deal of life unchanged.
An old man, because of poor oral care when he was young, so that he began to appear at the age of 50 years of age, obvious teeth loosening, to 65 years of age, a mouth full of teeth are not much left. After all, tooth loss means that the old man’s biting force is seriously reduced, and without the help of dentures, even his daily meals will be affected.
But the old man insisted on not installing dentures. Because of the previous tooth loss, his family had spent a lot of money to give him a dental implants, but because of the late care is not good, the implanted teeth have not yet lasted a few years to fall out again, the old man believes that these things is to engage in a waste of money, so he strongly disagrees with his family to spend money to buy dentures for him again.
There are also some in the elderly have this traditional cognition: that is, the loss of teeth is an important part of our life back to nature, for which as an individual need to accept religiously, rather than to take the acquired means to restore their own teeth, which in their view is a very unholy behavior.
In any case, most of the elderly for dentures are presented a kind of subtle rejection of the psychological, although not particularly opposed to the wearing of dentures, but few people will take the initiative to try, if not family members to persuade the words, many elderly people think that the adaptation to adapt to the past.
But is this really the case? In fact, wearing dentures is an important part of maintaining a normal life for the elderly, especially for those who have lost a significant number of teeth.
The harm of not wearing dentures for the elderly is very obvious.
The first point is that missing teeth will inevitably affect the pronunciation of the elderly, without the help of dentures to speak leakage is a common thing;
Secondly, without dentures, the chewing function of the elderly will be greatly reduced, they may only be able to eat some fluffy food in order to supplement their nutrition;
The last point is that the long-term absence of dentures for the elderly with missing teeth will affect the plumpness of the lips and the reconstruction of the appearance of the face, which will greatly affect the outward appearance of the elderly.
It can be seen that wearing dentures is an essential life program for the elderly. So how should the elderly choose the right dentures for themselves?
