While those patients who wear dentures no longer have to worry about dental decay or gum disease, they may have concerns with ill fitting appliances or mouth sores. Annual visits to the dentist (or sooner if soreness is present) are recommended. During these visits an oral cancer screening and head and neck exam will be performed. Also, we will evaluate the fit of the existing appliances. Regular visits can help you to avoid more complicated problems down the road even with a denture.
