    Wow! Can't thank you enough as I've recently had a part denture on top and bottom, and I've a real psychological thing about not having them in my mouth! As when they put them first in after extractions, I had to leave them in a week and it made me at least feel like I had teeth again. This comment made my day 💐🇦🇺

    Yes, I can't since I got my dancers. It's like it just feels really weird without them. Besides, you know that you can't talk well. But even my daughter said when they are out which is never in front of anybody except for Her She said because I keep in mind all the time when they're out. My mouth doesn't actually look how sometimes it's sucked in. She said sometimes she can't tell which is good but I yeah , I sleep with the men everything plus I have two canines and if I try to shut my mouth , they go into my gums so I can't do it

    My mother never put her dentures in water. She cleaned them at night and she put thim back in her mouth and there was a reason for that. So that way her mouth wouldn't become incaved. And it wouldn't give her granny mouth.

    There will always be many views on this topic. And each dentist will have their opinion based of who their teacher was or their mentor most likely …. My mentor always said sleeping in them is 100% ok, the main element and the only thing you must do, is clean them every single day. This way going to bed wearing CLEAN dentures is not an issue at all. Your guns can withstand this. Healthy gums equal happy patients . It’s personal preference , I would say 50/50 of our patients sleep with them in so there’s no clear evidence of any way being right or wrong . Juts make sure they are clean :)

    Newbie here too. My dentist said the same. Don’t keep your dentures in overnight (bacteria growth and I agree from the standpoint of being in regular health care for almost twenty years) and don’t keep them in water overnight. I agree with it from the standpoint that tap water is not the best in all areas. If dental professionals could agree on like purified drinking water etc, I would feel safer doing so overnight. I also agree they’re made to be wet all day long so being dry could affect things as well. The seesaw of information out there gives me a migraine. Lol.

    Hi Marc, If the denture is small, say 1-2 teeth then there maybe a very small chance that the denture can dislodge . We have never heard or come across this , but that doesn’t mean it isn’t to happen. We have always educated our patients that it’s perfectly fine to sleep with them in , and in fact a high percentage of denture wearers actually do this. The main things is to ensure they are cleaned before bed . Thanks for watching :)

    Hi Amy, there’s nothing I could advise on this. I think the best solution would be to take them to a registered Dental Prosthetist, and ask them if it’s possible to do one of 2 options 1) change the teeth but keep the original base (called a remodel for partial dentures ) Or 2) use a small dental drill to recarve some anatomy and shape into the mole teeth (this option won’t work aswe as option 1 but will be cheaper option Hope this helps Amy.
